“I’m really starting to wonder about Rush’s level of concern for the country given his non involvement in this vote.”

Rush went off the reservation for many years. I don’t think I could ever really trust him again.

Well thats like your opinion man!...Oh and history. Factual history. Which at least 2 people on this thread are determined to ignore and press forward! over the cliff ignoring.

When they and their deluded ilk are no longer a stumbling block to conservatism, we can move ahead.

JOHN BOEHNER SEX PROBE
New Speaker of the House JOHN BOEHNER is embroiled in a bombshell sex scandal - involving at least two different women, The ENQUIRER has learned!

Capitol Hill insiders and political bloggers have been buzzing about an upcoming New York Times probe - detailing an alleged affair that the 61-year-old married father of two had with pretty Washington lobbyist LISBETH LYONS.

And an ENQUIRER investigation has uncovered a bedroom encounter that Boehner - second in line of succession to the presidency - allegedly had with LEIGH LaMORA, a 46-year-old former press secretary to ex-Colorado Congressman JOEL HEFLEY.

There is no dignity in the House.

Small children, babies, antsy tots. . .all sitting in the House while the vote is taken.

The House is a place where serious business is done affecting the greatest nation on earth. Bringing in babies, tots and children adds nothing and is a disruption.

Historic moment selecting a speaker? Sure. But a baby/tot/child is not in awe of the process and is basically a prop.

What’s next? I forecast a House member during regular business running the floor and holding her baby in her arms.

Seriously.

Boehner has allied himself with the Executive, he repeatedly aids the Executive’s usurpation of Congress’ exclusive power of legislating.

Boehner should be expelled from the House of Representatives, instead the Republicans made him Speaker again.

Just another fruitless symbolic revolt choreographed by talk radio. “Call your reps and tell them anyone but ...”

We stopped the Dubai Ports deal, and a few other Step in it's by GWB, but the UniParty has out-smarted us and is out to destroy the last of the Reaganites.

It is time to walk away from politics and re-invent ourselves Galt Style, I need time to think....

Those who post nihilism and scorn and defeat are not on the Conservative side.

5 inches of snow for your area by DC/Fairfax is a LOT.

They really are not well equipped like other areas for snow removal.

I suspect in the back room, they drew lots to determine who the “rebels” would be.

he lady who answered the phone was clearly depressed at all the negative phone calls coming in...

The constituent anger is flowing copiously. Check their facebook pages. I just emailed my Rep and told him he no longer has my support.
