No. Don’t be stupid. Only Democrats openly defy the will of their constituents.
If enough constituents tell their Republican congressman how they want them to vote, they will.
If the Tea Parties don’t like who the Republicans make Speaker of the House, they will be replaced in their primaries. The Republicans are starting to get it now.
We’re not going to work our asses off to get the GOP the majority back and then allow them to turn around and screw us again.
We do not have to be hostage to a spineless Republocan leadership.
We don’t have to accept their Washington games regarding “seniority”.
We want effective leadership, not an old boys club.
Too bad you’re already capitulating.
Most of us here won’t, though.

I take it you have not read Edmund Burke’s ‘Speech to the Electors of Bristol’. In it, the founder of conservative thinking explained to his voters that he owed them his judgment more than his obedience, and would not act in accordance with their wishes as expressed by a vote. They asked him to vote one way, he refused, with the speech as his explanation, and the electors defeated his re-election, as was their right.
