Did not see one yet. Trying to access CSPAN on line. Site looks different. Are they requiring a registration to watch?

So I contemplate. What’s next? Out with it Big Man!

I would advise you stop practicing insanity for starters.

Not that you will. Methinks Olive Branch Petitions are in the near future for the Party Faithful, since you would be equating the Founders as 'quitters' for daring to leave the Crown.

Proud member of the New Conservative Party, making the GOP the next third party.

New York has had an official conservative party for over 50 years, as opposed to a conservative wing of the Republican Party. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_Party_of_New_York_State) The Conservative Party of New York has its own convention, nominees, and ballot line. Time to go national.

No Cheetos allowed.

Bonehead will be re-elected but this signals that conservatives need to leave the eGOP so they can complete their merge with the Democraps.

Get rid of the mewling kneepadders from the rank and file base and vote for conservatives. Then play hardball. They can agree to our terms or lose every election forever. Simple.

Pick a side. Kneepad or conservative.

Yes. And he either owes Pelosi or Cuomo (or his family for scheduling the funeral today, though they may not have had a choice wrt when the Church, priest, people, etc. were available.

The Chicago way.

Pubbies are drawing images of knives on notebook paper, and the Dems are fitting their feet into 5 gallon buckets, topping them off with some freshly mixed concrete.

Solution? Get a guy running a golf course clubhouse to strike fear into psycho mobsters.

At this point, the Charlie Brown meme falls far too short to accurately represent the stupidity of the GOP.

In Nebraska Ben Nelson quit because he was booed at a pizza parlor after the “Cornhusker Kickback”.

Do you suppose a steady stream of boos (not “booze”, we need to make sure they all know the difference...) every time they set foot outside might force them to hear us?

Clerk announces that about 100 reps will now assemble to escort the Speaker to the chair.

I guess this is like the crowning of a new Emperor in Rome.

Pomp and ceremony.

Meantime, the Titanic is taking on water.

Time to rearrange the deck chairs.

Allowing the women’s (emotional) vote was a bad thing for America. If that truth hurts, oh well darn. I’m paying for the results and it hurts. A lot.

399 total votes, so he only needed 200. He had a 17 vote cushion.

This is the best you have to offer?
It's not good enough.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out.
The ultimate irony if Hillary becomes the third Clinton plurality win for POTUS.

30 seconds after the results are announced, Lanny Davis will be on the networks saying “America has spoken, Congress needs to listen to them”

Yes, a big disappointment and a hint as to what will be found by his Benghazi SC. He, as most Republicans will go with the establishment, nothing more than Dem lite.

It’s a sad day for our Republic.
