Forget Newt. Clinton turned him into his biggest fan.

I wonder who the next charlatan the rovians will try to foist upon us?

One thing is certain; it won't be anyone that will confront obama.

I believe if they stood together they could get Trey Gowdy, especially after McCarthy blew up the Benghazi investigation.

Well stated, you have to kill the Head to kill the Snake...

The resistance has been loosely forming a wall of resistance to the directives coming down from above and it has befuddled them...

We need to pull together on not just talking but working together toward a Common Goal..Making our Country Great, as She once was so shall She be again and Brighter still!

We need to form a Stone wall against the deviousness of their plans, the use of Political Correctness to stifle alternate ides, the promotion and sale of goods and services by companies playing both sides...

We need to Stand Up and be Counted, for or against

Choose now!

Let us then resolve to commit to work together in Love and fraternity to this purpose

Im IN!!

Sic Semper Tyrranis!

What I want to know is why they haven’t FIRED Boehner...why are they letting him resign? Stop him in his tracks...the alternative cannot be good.

Probably good news since Boehner was angry.
But it may turn out to be a case of “better the devil you know”.

I doubt Boehner will stay. He would need Dem votes to do so.

Ellmers is a disgusting pig of a woman. I don’t even think Laz would hit that.

He got an offer he couldn’t refuse.

I sure would like to hear the details.
