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

RE :.....”but the UniParty has out-smarted us....”

You're killing me dude.

Strategies like this last one are pretty easy to foil.

You see this thread below where Lou Gohmert says he didn't challenge Boehner last month in the GOP house caucus Speaker nomination vote because Boehner assured him that he would do what conservatives want (ie meaning not do what they don't want him to), but very recently he figured out that Boehner lied to him??

I have heard that some call Lou dumb but I don't believe he's that dumb.

the rebels lost cause too many DEMS were absent. Nobody calculated that. For each 2 DEMS absent, Boehner needed one fewer vote.

There are other sources, including rush saying it himself... if you need further I will try to find it.

Wait, there were a bunch of people who only got 1 vote (John Lewis being one of them, must have been a joke), so he needed more than 200. But he had a big cushion.

I left the party during the Bush years. Now I will actively work against it. It is a bigger part of the problem than the democrats, because they prevent Americans from fighting back against socialism and immorality. They are for what the Democrats do, and in the process, try to bottle up the opposition by normal Americans. They are quislings, Vichy Republicans, in service of a Progressive master.

The only tan man there—except for those born that way.

Of course they did. It is all theater. Look behind the curtain.

I think his record of disappointments is simply explained and no brain damage or vast conspiracies are required. He is simply doing what’s best for himself and his cronies. The ones who helped him get to and keep him in office.

The rest of the country be damned.

Forget about the next two years, it’s going to be a long rest of our lives.

I have no doubt Hillary will win 2016. Jeb is a freaking joke and the GOP will suffer the loss of about 3 million or more votes. That is enough to guarantee a Democrap win.

Toss in State and local elections whereby conservatives have also had enough and the GOP will find they won’t be able to recover for decades to come. It takes a long time to build incumbency to gain financial dominance and win elections.

Stupid @ss Pelosi standing with him at the Speaker’s Chair.

Guess she is going to give him the gavel.

Hope she greased it first.

Conservatives have very little representation in Congress. Heil, Boehner!
