“They want to sabotage, they want to obstruct, but God help them if you ask them to stand up and lead. But don’t worry. They will next time.”

That, sadly, is the case with most Tea Party heroes. Or maybe they can just count, or maybe they know no one under any conditions is going to stop this train from wrecking.

Elections help—but we are so far gone, it will just buy us some time. The effects of 1994 didn’t last long. The system corrupts them faster than we can vote them out. Boehner was a Gingrich lieutenant—and Newt was actually a conservative. Elections are not the final answer—we need structural change. The corruption is so pervasive and profound nothing less than a return to our Constitution can cleanse it.

Conservatives remain a minority in the Boehner House, a precious commodity that must be cautious just to maintain, until they can grow their numbers. Sending more re-enforcements into the chamber in November will surely strengthen their hand.

Boehner must declare for a third term for all sorts of reasons, not the least of which has to be pressure from some of his bed pardners and chamber of commerce machine men.

After all, together with McConnell in the trusty senate, be certain of this, a plan is abreast to obliterate the Tea Party. The target of conservative wrath has been hit, with some regularity, now shocked and deeply wounded by the Cantor loss, leaving the Establishment very last gasp dangerous.

PS. What I have seen of Jim Jordan and Jacob Chaffitz, certainly Trey Gowdy, is a vision of action over rhetoric. They are leading in the House by example.

Pete Sessions TX needs to be kept away from power at all cost.

House Republicans say the new leadership hierarchy that emerges next week after lawmakers vote won’t necessarily be the one the party keeps after the midterm elections. “We’ll have a whole new set of circumstances in the leadership elections after the November elections,” Rep. Charles Boustany (R-La.) said this week. “I don’t think this settles things permanently.”

This may not be Labrador's time, but it's coming. I was against him in the primary election back in 2010, but he quickly won me over. Unfortunately, I was redistricted into RINO Mike Simpson's district in 2012, so I can't support Lab this November. But I look for him to do great things in the future.
