Conservative Revolt Splits House GOP Group [new RSC!]
National Journal ^ | January 13, 2015 | Daniel Newhauser

...The new group, which does not yet have a name, is being de-facto led by former RSC Chairman Jim Jordan, although the formal leadership structure could change. It will also include Rep. Mick Mulvaney, who lost an election to become the chairman last year, disappointing many conservatives. The other founders are Reps. Justin Amash, Ron DeSantis, John Fleming, Scott Garrett, Raul Labrador, Mark Meadows, and Matt Salmon. Most but not all of those members are expected to renounce their RSC memberships, along with other members who will join the group. Many of the members will meet Tuesday evening with Sen. Ted Cruz to discuss their plans and other matters over pizza, though Cruz himself has not been involved in the formation of the new group...

This is where a future Speaker will come from. This where the conservative effort to affect laws will be organized. Urge your congressman to join- if he claims ANY conservative inclination! Boehner gutted the old Republican Study Committee, and has only himself to blame that a more conservative organization is taking it's place.

They’d better revolt, and fast.

If Bonehead pulls of his latest lie/treason/feces copycatting, it will truly doom the GOP.

Get rid of the sod.

Now.

Any way you’d like.

We promise to look the other way.

So Boehner is still knifing conservatives, what a shocker. Not.

Good for these guys!

It sure seems like something good would come of this!
ANYTHING closer to USConstitution gets my vote. Current R party is just a branch of DC as usual.

If they head in the right direction I may consider registering Republican again.
I very recently quit them after 40+ years. (or they quit me)

The Conservatives should form a Conservative Caucus that, at first, only includes those who voted against Boehner. The group should then vote on new applicants with a super majority required for acceptance. They should NOT participate in the Republican Caucus at all They should then vow to support only bills that repeal statist things or positively promote conservative things like tax cutting and Department gutting or elimination.

THIS Mulvaney?

House Republican slams anti-Boehner movement hard. Like, really hard. (Mick Mulvaney (R-SC-5)

Don’t blame you a bit RedMDer.

Am writing my ‘conservative’ congressman, who made excuses for voting for Boehner though he was ‘dissatisfied’ with Boehner, to seek membership in the group.
This will continue and expand the ‘revolt’ against Boehner which Congressmen saw came from their voters’ discontent.

Yep, the one who blasted the conservatives for not being organized is trying to organize the conservatives so they can be effectual.

I’d think that would please conservatives!

This is a first step to building a new party and letting the GOPee die like it deserves.
