NONE of the pussies in DC have the stones to stand up to a stiff wind, let alone that drunk Boehner or (gasp) Obammy!
The whole lot of them can take a long walk off a short pier...they are ALL talk ALL the time, and not a word of truth among the lot of them! (spit!)

They will take it and like it.

If they don’t “revolt” over the 2nd amendment, there’s nothing that can wake them up.

Boehner HAS BEEN BOUGHT. One dinner and a boat ride is all it took.

You can't educate parasites, and the Founders had no intention of enfranchising all and instituting Universal Suffrage, which is the reason we are where we are today.

Giving everyone a right to vote creates a Democracy, and a political class which will pander to the parasites in exchange for power.

The Founders were brilliant men who understood history and the mistakes made by previous civilizations, mistakes which led to their demise.

I do not say that democracy has been more pernicious on the whole, and in the long run, than monarchy or aristocracy. Democracy has never been and never can be so durable as aristocracy or monarchy; but while it lasts, it is more bloody than either. … Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. It is in vain to say that democracy is less vain, less proud, less selfish, less ambitious, or less avaricious than aristocracy or monarchy. It is not true, in fact, and nowhere appears in history. Those passions are the same in all men, under all forms of simple government, and when unchecked, produce the same effects of fraud, violence, and cruelty. When clear prospects are opened before vanity, pride, avarice, or ambition, for their easy gratification, it is hard for the most considerate philosophers and the most conscientious moralists to resist the temptation. Individuals have conquered themselves. Nations and large bodies of men, never. John Adams, letter to John Taylor (15 April 1814).

Democracy will prevail when men believe the vote of Judas as good as that of Jesus Christ.

Attributed to Thomas Carlyle "The Scholar in a Republic", centennial anniversary address to Phi Beta Kappa of Harvard College, Cambridge, Massachusetts (June 30, 1881). Reported in Carlos Martyn and Wendell Phillips, The Agitator (1890), p. 581. Reported as unverified in Respectfully Quoted: A Dictionary of Quotations (1989).

Revolt?? They are not going to do anything. This is just talk to pacify the sheep back home. If they were really serious, he would have been ousted earlier this year.

Everything has to be rushed through Congress before Americans wake up and figure out that they are being shafted by their public servants. Look at how long it took for them to figure out they really are going to get the shaft through ObamaCare. We’re all going to feel like we’ve been through a “gay marriage” honeymoon night once Barry’s Commie “Care” gets rolling.

GOP members of the House are COWARDS, whose only concern is to protect their own crummy careers as the country goes down the crapper. There are a couple of exceptions, Steve King, Michelle Bachmann and a few others.

Here's the word from a member of the base to the GOP members in the House. The existence of the GOP is on the razor's edge. All its going to take is one more act of betrayal. So, if you want to protect your crummy little careers, remove Boehner as Speaker. He's a failure and a loser. He's dragging you down.

Removing Boehner and replacing him with a principled constitutionalist, you'll save your careers, you'll save your party and you'll actually take a step in saving the country.

Throw Boehner out NOW. There's no time to lose.

How did Rohrabacher vote in the election for Speaker? Is he only recognizing a problem now? Or only now willing to do something? Doesn't matter, better late than never.

Send the Weeper home to cry.

And I doubt I will ever see it.

The last “revolt” in November 2012 didn’t go to well.

And he can do it.

He just uses 100% Democrat votes and a few Republicans and it’s a done deal.

If Boehner follows this strategy, he would be abandoning one of the key promises he made to get re-elected as Speaker just a few months ago while several conservative members tried to unseat him. At the time, he guaranteed he would return the House to regular order on all legislation, a promise that ended up helping him turn some who had planned to oppose his re-election as Speaker back into supporters.

Sucks, doesn't it. Boehner's doing to his peers what politicians do to their constituents - and they don't like it. Imagine how we feel, guys? Maybe they'll get as fed up as the voters are.

Regular orders is the process by which a bill is supposed to come up through the respective committees of jurisdiction and allow members of those committees to offer amendments, an open and transparent process that then is supposed to continue on the House floor.

The "regular orders" process has always been a problem for legislation that contains the word "comprehensive" in its title. "Comprehensive" means the bill is loaded with all kinds of repugnant crap provisions that would NEVER pass on their own merit, and so it's best to bury them in one gigantic "comprehensive" bill.
