Why should they? WE Proved we wont do anything about it. We will just return them for another term.
Have to admit, I'm not seeing a momentum build the way I thought I would, on dropping Boehner.
A few brave souls standing up and the worthless bastards running for cover.
Huelskamp is trying to have it both ways. From the article, he voted against Boehner in 2013, yet has said he’ll vote for him this time except if it goes to a 2nd ballot, then he won’t commit.
What a lame a$$ thing to say and do! Kansas people should be melting this guy’s phone lines!

(**Huelskamp said in November that he won’t commit to voting for Boehner if there is a second ballot.)
Principle matters. The next time you see a Freeper condemning ‘purists’ remind him why.
” It’s realism, not pessimism.”
Exactly. A bit of research helps if you don’t know all of the players. The easiest way is to check who their biggest donors are.
If a RINOSLUT has the following biggest donors......
Big banks
U.S. Chamber of Commerce
Multi-national, U.S. based corporations
One of the big 3 health companies, e.g. United Healthcare
The politician/prostitute will back and help fund Obamacare, and amnesty. Guaranteed! You too can bat 1,000.
The sorry thing is that most are politicians first and representatives when up for re-election.
Rep Cris Smith
I do not want Boehner for speaker.
If you vote for him you are voting against not just me, but many others who feel the same way.
Just because they are busy trying to make a living does not mean they aren’t paying attention.
They are.
I’ve been onto NM’s people, but most are Democrat and are absolute lock-step Obama voters.
What other possible outcome could their be? We scream and holler about wanting conservatives and then vote unprincipled hacks to DC happy that ‘we won’.
Take a look at what your victory looks like lesser evil fans. Again.
That is my fear. And if this happens Bonehead would say, "See how I can work across the aisle!"
Thanks Leap. I don’t ‘do’ facebook or other ‘social media’, but that’s a great idea; Many more people see it that way... I would do it if I was signed up...

I am so sick of these people mouthing what they think people want to hear on the campaign trail and then turning around and forgetting about who elected them until they need electing again.
I would love to see Tom Delay run for speaker.
You are too polite. Sensenbrenner isn’t nice to anybody else! (Actually, I congratulate you on modulating your message. He’s not going to listen anyway.)
Does anybody have Glenn Grothman’s phone number? Is there a general number?
Not sure who runs a TX ping list, but word is out on Twitter that Kevin Brady of TX’s 8th District has his office telling callers that the only choice for Speaker is Boehner or Pelosi!
Complete & utter BS!
As long as right wing sites let liberals claiming conservatism to propagandize, they have a platform to do it. And so they do.
I don’t blame regular people for voting what ‘supposed’ conservatives tell them is ‘good’.. I blame ‘supposed’ conservatives for being the liars they are. And if they didn’t have such a big platform on all these sights, more people wouldn’t be listening to those lies and voting based on them.
All I can find for Grothman is the general number. He doesn’t yet have his official webpage up that I can find.
(202) 224-3121.
I just got a call back from “Matt”, Congressman Bruce Poliquin’s Campaign Manager and I assume current Congressional Staff Member - Chief of Staff perhaps (?).
He is using his personal cell phone number until they get their offices set up and running over the next few days; in the meantime the contact numbers for former Congressman Mike Micheaud will remain active, as they go with the office and don’t change with the occupant thereof.
The long and the short of it is that Bruce will be voting to keep Speaker John Boehner in office, as that is what he feels is best for the Constituents of the Second District.
Obviously we disagree about that.
The other contenders, he feels, are non viable.
Yolo is a virtual unknown (I’ve never heard of the guy) and Louis Gomert “has no chance of winning” (where have we heard that before?).
Not quoting Matt here, but I get the impression that BP regards Gomert as a Radical Right Wing Extremist of some sort who might go off and say something that would offend someone and embarrass the hell out of the Establishment Country Club elite, and we all know we simply can’t have that, now can we?
Apparently the GOP National Committee had dedicated $600,000 to Bruce’s campaign, but then yanked it back shortly prior to the election.
Yet his loyalty seems to remain firmly with the establishment.
Go figure, Maine.
I still respect and like Cong. Poliquin, but I’ve gotta tell ya; I’m wikkid disappointed right now.
Pelosi it is then. Shes at least open about what she is.
