" I think we “do” have the 29 votes ... or more .."

I hope we do have more- I'll bet that we will need more. I think that Boehner, Pelosi, Obama have dems on standby to cast their votes for Boehner if the count starts going south for him.

YW. I plan to watch Hannity, too.
I hope Louie will also make an appearance.

It’s obvious Boehner is playing hard and dirty with his own members, unlike he does with Obama and the democrats.

Bears repeating:

it’s a POLITICAL CERTAINTY that the “new” House Speaker will richly reward the 30-40 members that vote against Boehner ...

When Boehner is reelected, can we zot all the We-Have-to-Vote-GOP-then-hold-them-accountable people?

It's a little extreme there; but I see nothing wrong with rubbing their nose in if for as long as Boehner is around.

And I see nothing wrong with turning their Obama/Reid have to be defeated!/you have to vote for the lesser of two evils! cry back on them and ask: How is it possible that the Democrat option in Nov `14 could have been worse than Boehner? — He would have been an uber-junior congressman and we would have gotten rid of someone in power that goes out of his way to roll out the red carpet for statist policies! — How!?

I guess, and I do mean “guess” the entire point is to get to a second ballot, is that right?

I mean, why not other coalesce around just Louie?

I don’t get that either Onyx. Maybe a second ballot is what they’re all hoping for?

I reckon so. If they can get to a second ballot, then Louie can surely win!

If Boehner is dethroned tomorrow, all of this is moot. But I’ll bet he won’t be dethroned. A third party should have started when McCain was rammed down our throat. Maybe before that when Bush called us un-American for opposing his amnesty.

Where in the hell is the Texas delegation? One stinkin name.

Switch boards were down all day. Typical ploy nowadays. The cowards are too scared to talk with you over the phone.

Time to drag them out by the collars of their shirts. Place on rail and apply tar and feathers as needed.

How does keeping them here or on any right wing spreading more propaganda and causing us to waste time and effore deprogramming their victims help conservatism? Or does it hurt it?

Get on Twitter, email and Facebook. They tend to respond more when it’s up on social media. Even if the phone lines are busy, they can still be reached.
