John Boehner is getting revenge.
He secured his third term as speaker Tuesday afternoon, losing 25 votes on the House floor to three relatively unknown members of the House Republican Conference. But he’s already punishing those who betrayed him.
First up: Florida Reps. Daniel Webster and Richard Nugent. The pair will be booted from their spots on the House Rules Committee, according to sources familiar with the decision. Webster ran against Boehner (R-Ohio) for speaker Tuesday, and Nugent supported his fellow Floridian.
The Rules Committee is a panel appointed by the speaker, and it controls the flow of legislation to the House floor. It’s a prestigious appointment for members who are loyal to leadership.

Dont worry men, you will lead in heaven once boners hell is burned to the ground.
Too bad he can’t be as mean to his fellow Demwits.
Abandon ship!
Really who were those gutless 3 people?
Kabuki theater. Boob-bait for the Bubbas as Patrick Moynihan once said.
Form a caucus, announce you’ll vote with the democrats and have another election. Pelosi goes in. See if the rinos want conservatives or Pelosi. I think we know the answer.
There’s only one person the dems want in the speakership more than boner and that’s Pelosi. So, boner couldn’t count on them.
And he made a speech today in which he said it is fine to disagree as long as we are ot angry with each other, or words to that effect.
And at the same time he is cutting throats right and left of those who do disagree.
Any one who thinks anything he says has anything to do with what he really thinks just does not understand the man.
He is a politician in the image of Haley Barbour, obummer, L. B. Johnson, etc.
But what is even worse is that today’s vote demonstrates that our brave tough minded conservative representatives are really gutless.
If they would not vote for a new speaker, how could you expect them to fight for obummer care, secure borders, no amnisty, a sensible income tax bill, etc.?
It ain’t gonna happen.
So what we arew in for is more of the same.
No thanks.
We need to re-take our party from within, if we split it, Obama/Warren win.
LOL!
You mean like they stopped Boner from getting reelected as Speaker?
When they come begging for your votes, when they come claiming to be conservative, when they come claiming to "stand up to washington", please ask them how they voted for Speaker today. Did they vote for Boehner, the guy who frequently hooks up with Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and Obama, to further the liberal agenda? Did they vote for Boehner, who has accomplished NOTHING regarding Obamacare, executive action, illegal tyrannical activities, tax and spend culture? If so they are liberal democrats and do not represent you.
They voted for the guy who frequently teams up with the democrats to pass liberal legislation. They are NOT tea party or conservative.
You’re way of thinking was the problem in 2008 and before. The Republican party is completely lost. There is no way to ever get a conservative elected when you have this type of cronyism.
The gop-darlings have just lost 2016.
Yes! That would be awful! Almost as bad as a Jeb Bush win!
They hate you Seaplaner, with a passion, they hate your values, they mock your religion, they work with the MSM/Dems to defeat you.
You have already been kicked out, you have already been split from your Party.
The smartest guy in the world who knows absolutely everything and is the most quoted is "Anonymous Source"....
Are you still registered as a Republican?
He should be wearing a Swastika. It is fitting to his behaviors. The GOP gripes about Obama placing himself above us Boehner is no different and maybe worse.
“If I was rich I’d hire the best private investigators in the world to dig up what Obama has on boner”
I think that might be reversed, boehner knows that the imposter is ineligible to hold office and says nothing.
They are two members of the same team.
Is there extra pay for being on, or chairing, a committee?
