Wake up, man.
If your favorite congressman makes a run at the speakership without having his support lined up, then HE is the dumbass.
You saw how Boehner stripped some of the team of their committeeships simply for withholding their votes from his pet crap not long after they’d regained the House.
There are a lot of cowards on our team and I don’t see Labrador as the be-all end-all. But he must have had a little encouragement, and when he challenged Boehner publicly on immigration Boehner backed down the next day.
Now I assume Labrador is on the s-list as far as the great speaker is concerned. On the other hand Labrador fired the first shot, NOT that sniveler MCarthy, not that sneaky suck-up Cantor...
I’m with you—I think we won’t get anywhere with Boehner in charge. And I think the odds are long but I ain’t without hope.
Thats another easily debunked fallacious argument repeated here frequently. It must come from talk radio.
Since a few House Republicans made symbolic protests votes for people not even in the house early 2013, like Lou Gomert, its shows that fear of Bohner is not a their problem,
Same with the fellow you cited who made that empty threat. He is not scared.,
So they got no excuses.,
