What keeps Boehner in are the 95 percent of rank and file Republican members of Congress who fake conservatism or repudiate it entirely.
The ones who stand up like Justin Amash of MI or Tom Massie of KY had no back up from guys like my congeessman, Scott Perry of Pennsylvania.
Congressman Perry’s dodge answer when asked about supporting Boehner is that the alternative was Nancy Pelosi.
But the truth is that if Perry and others had the guts, they could have forced Boehner out and found someone to get the votes needed.
But there are no such “guts” because 95 percent of them are not real conservatives.
Scott Perry had Boehner in the district in the summer of 2013 to speak at a fundraiser.
Perry makes all the right noises about how bad Obama and Pelosi are, but in the end he’s in Boehner’s back pocket.
I will write in the name of a conservative instead of voting for him on November 4th.
I’m pretty much convinced we need a new conservative party in this country....
Agreed.
What country?
I suppose you believe in the Easter Bunny too.
