I hope someday Rep. Gohmert can tell who backed out at the last minute.

[Jagdgewehr]

“people that were right there ready to go ended up deciding not to vote with us”

Just Republicans doing what's in their nature. Cowardice or counterfeit. Sometimes both.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Too bad Boner doesn’t play hardball with Zero the same way he does with the GOP caucus trying to keep his job.

[MortMan]

He should tell TODAY.

Sunlight is the best disinfectant.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Gohmert looks like a good man.

[Hugin]

I guess they didn’t want a new office in a Capitol basement mop closet.

[lee martell]

Boehner has no problem ‘bringing the hammer down’ on members of his own party. I’ll bet Obama has been calling him with false praises, verbal back slaps, and this fool Boehner, laps it up like a Cat drinking milk.

[Secret Agent Man]

promises of action from boner.

what a laugh. why would they believe him for a second?

[Eagles6]

Not shocked.

[Hardens Hollow]

Cowards.

No, worse.

Traitors.

[dagogo redux]

I think it likely that the Tree of Liberty will be watered in my lifetime.

That, or the world will end in a whimper.

[ObamahatesPACoal]

Maybe they should have went with Michelle Obama.

Make Obama’s queens battle it out.

[Veggie Todd]

Wimps! What I really wanted to call them would prolly get me banned.

[pallis]

Too bad, getting rid of Boehner was an important step towards undoing some of Obama’s damage. Weak kneed Republicans are no surprise though. The Republican left has become nothing more than a rubber stamp for Democrats. It’s like watching a freaking student government scheming for free pizza days.

[ArcadeQuarters]

The votes were dropping off even during the count. About a quarter of the way through, the “other” votes mathematically were headed to 39 then gradually they became less frequent.

[VRWC For Truth]

Not one dime’s worth of difference. The Gelded Old Pansies have Whigged out.

[GilesB]

“...some representatives told him they were able to get promises for action in exchange for voting for Boehner.”

Well! Take those promises to the bank!!! Boehner always keeps his promises! You made a shrewd political move there! Votes for for promises, it works every time!

Be sure and let us know, now that you’ve paid your vote, when those promises are kept! LOLOL you idiots! Just look how much your promises to Louie were worth.

[Smokin' Joe]

...some representatives told him they were able to get promises for action in exchange for voting for Boehner.

There is always someone willing to sell our birthright for a mass of pottage. May those weasels and cowards be rewarded as they so richly deserve.

[Politicalkiddo]

Tell us who the traitors are. We’ll be more than happy to take care of them.

[don-o]

Didn’t I also hear that two opposition Reps had already had their committee seats taken away - Rules?

[Travis McGee]

They are dead to me.
