The cranks reveal themselves (Surprise! Jen attacks anti-Boehners and Ted)
The Washington Post's Right Turn Blog ^ | January 7, 2015 | Jennifer Rubin, Queen of the NeoCons

In the wake of the vote reelecting John Boehner as House speaker, it is worth noting a statement put out by rock-rib conservative Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.):

Some people wrote me encouraging me to vote for Louie Gohmert. I like Louie, but let’s be clear: Louie Gohmert was – is – never ever going to be Speaker of the House. I respect his passion, but he isn’t a credible candidate. That was proved today by the fact that he got three votes, despite all the national media attention he managed to grab. My colleague who got the most anti-Boehner votes was Daniel Webster of Florida who got 12 votes. I like Daniel. He is a nice guy, and a good thinker…but his lifetime Heritage Action score is 60% (by comparison, mine is 91%). And this was supposed to be the savior of the conservative movement? Would the House really have been more conservative if he had won?

The truth is, there was no conservative who could beat John Boehner. Period. People can ignore that, or they can wish it away, but that is reality....

PoloSec:" Nothing worse than hearing a traitor defend and justify his treason."

And then phtographed kissing the lunatic fringe !
That's adding salt to the wound , as is the reprisals on delegates who opposed him.
This demonstrates the need for a "House Rules Change" !

Hey! NeoCon needn’t be pro-Boner.

Pro-Boner is GOPe / RINO, having not much to do with any other definition of Neo Conservative (usually, Jewish Conserivative).

Oh, God, another “anyone who does not agree with me is a crank” know-nothing. This isn’t ignorance, it’s stupidity.

Mulvaney gives town halls in Spanish to illegals promising amnesty. Drudge called him out.
