FYI Gowdy actually nominated Boehner for re-election in a closed-door conference meeting back in November

Don’t let your congresscritter get away with voting “present”!!

That makes it more difficult to stop Boehner.

We need 29 votes for another person BY NAME.

If some clowns vote “present”, then we need another new vote by name, for other than Boehner.

Why are you back? you went missing after the election for weeks. Did the GOP send you or is your jihad to keep RINOs in power not complete?

he has done nothing. All he did was grab a headline and then nothing. If he did, I want someone to show me what it was.

You left off the last word, “still”.

If some GOP hacks vote “present”, those fake conservatives deserve
a serious primary challenge. Pronto.

If it means getting rid of Boehner as Speaker? Yeah, that’s a trade I’d make.

We all had high hopes for the guy. He failed spectacularly.

Worse than pitiful, it is disgusting.

After this election, which was totally salvaged by conservatives, we don’t have 29 stinking principled people.

I don’t understand why he is being elected now, before the new House members are seated.

After he gets it again I am going to the registrar’s office and dropping my Republican Party affiliation. I’m done.

You have been pretty absent from all these sorts of threads. nd your post history proves it.

So what should we do this time? Keep our powder dry or unite behind Bhoner because the dem is worse?

Will wait to read the ensuing chapters before going that route.

I would. There’s no chance she’d do anything to endorse any republican. Rule #1 of the democrat party: Thou shalt never, ever go against the party.

For a dem: All republicans are evil. Voting in favor of any republican is evil. They will not do it.

If your Rep is not on this list ask him to go to John Boehner's Facebook page and read the comments that the American people are leaving there. Ask your Rep if he will stand with the people or with the autocrats.

Heard anything about Bhenghazi hearings in the last month? He was sort of busy backing Bhoner though. So he has a reason I suppose.

Gowdy doesn't seem to think it a good trade.

We don't want Madame Hillary skating. Don't know anyone who is better suited to keep that from happening than Gowdy.
