“Wasn’t it Boehner that started purging real conservatives from House Committee Leadership positions as soon as he had been given a second term as House Speaker?”
Yup, and he also gave himself five votes on the Rules committee to consolidate his own power over legislation and everything else.
Exactly.
The sonovabitch needs to fired. No question at all about it.
PS: I did NOT vote for my Rep Pete Olson (TX-22) in the primary race today, simply because he REFUSED to make a commitment to oppose retaining Boehner as Speaker.
