Now Bert, you know better than that...it ain't going to happen under Boehner, and one cannot clean house enough in this business.
I live in one of the most conservative House districts in the country. The conservative that would receive Freeper approval was elected when the vote was split between two less conservative candidates.
On the next election, one of the two ran and ousted the very strong conservative. He was reelected in November.
The point being, there are conservatives and then there conservatives. The vote for speaker reflects that fact of political power.
I suppose they can be labeled CINO’s but they certainly don’t think of themselves in that manner. Given the election to the speakership, we can conclude that the conservative majority has those thoughts
Bert really should know better.
Expect nothing but “Kabuki Show Votes” in the coming months.
When the GOP had the opportunity to do something during the lame
duck session, they did nothing.
It is all “show votes” from here on out. Nothing more.
