House Republican slams anti-Boehner movement hard. Like, really hard. (Mick Mulvaney (R-SC-5)
You pretty much received a canned response written by Boehner's staff for distribution among the Republican caucus and their constituents. I got the same thing from my critter, with almost identical wording and hiding behind Mulvaney.
Two issues here--1) If all that was needed was a single GOP member to run against Boehner in November to trigger a secret vote and a stampede, then why did not ANY of these losers do so?
And 2), were any of the newly elected Republicans at that November meeting, and did they have an opportunity to vote?
And if I recall, at the time, the GOP-E meme was to not worry about it, that the real vote would take place when the House convened in January.
Bottom line...they're all cowards and liars, even Gowdy.
After considering the response for quite a while, my conclusion was—this is the GOP-e issuing a preemptive surrender or acknowledging its inability to do anything that they promised, or assured us they would try to do back in the fall of 2014.
The establishment GOP-e’s talk is just smoke and mirrors.
See above: Ronald Reagan was a revolutionary. He actually stood athwart history and yelled `Stop’; on the other hand, our current “leaders” are frauds. They will receive nothing from me in the future but my contempt.
