[don-o]

Did not see one yet. Trying to access CSPAN on line. Site looks different. Are they requiring a registration to watch?

[Starboard]

It took Love just one day to become a RINO! The GOP-e must be proud of their handiwork.

[A CA Guy]

They vote for their own obscurity.

Rothfus: Boehner

Good thing I didn’t vote for him this time around. He’s a RINO, born and bred.

[leapfrog0202]

Boehner. DISGUSTING

[Jane Long]

Poe: RINO EXTRAORDINAIRE

[Georgia Girl 2]

I think the magic number is 201 for Boehner.

How did Labrador (ID) vote?

[freepersup]

No but it isn’t far away. 202.

[southernindymom]

Weber from Texas voted AGAINST :)

[xsmommy]

I live 17 mi from my ofc, it took 2 hours, never got above 20 mph, the roads were not treated, not plowed. this had nothing to do with idiots who can’t drive in it —i’m from Pittsburgh, these roads were bad. The fact that I didn’t see a single plow or salt truck on the road from 7:30-9:30 am is the problem!

[Gideon7]

200 to win, 167/200 = 83% of the way, 319 of 401 voted = 79%. Gonna be close.

[Starboard]

You summed it up nicely. Good post.

[leapfrog0202]

Thank you :-(

[ru4liberty]

Plumber just arrived! Dang! Listen for Weber (Texas) for me and give me a heads up on how he votes. Thanks!

People greatly underestimate the cunning depravity of the GOP-e. It is a juggernaut against the first sign of any internal resistance and will undermine same by ANY MEANS NECESSARY. It is a ruthless force, but no so much when it comes to Democrats.

The GOP no longer cares what the overwhelming will of their base is, nor that of the American people itself.

Like all Oligarchies beholden to dictators, they are there to do the will of the Emperor, create breads and circuses to placate the people while they enrich themselves by impoverishing their constituents and establishing fascism as a bulwark against the pitchforks and torches of the little people.

Hate to say to the hopeful Conservatives that they can redeem the GOP that we told them so. What happens after today is a combined concerted effort to annihilate Conservatives from any and all influence in the country and establish the bulwarks for permanent fascism.
