Update: Boehner elected Speaker, loses 25 votes
Hot Air ^ | January 6, 2015 | Allahpundit

If you took the over on 19 votes, you won! There were 25 defectors on the Speaker, a number tantalizingly close to the 29 they needed. But then, that makes sense:

I hate these people.

And I’m pretty annoyed with myself for thinking there was even a chance.

Trey Gowdy is a coward and a fraud. A fake conservative.

Some of us called him out long ago. He is entirely too friendly with Rep. Luis Gutierrez. (D-IL)

The no vote was 28, Trey Gowdy didn’t bother to show up.

Neither did 33 other members. Only 401 voted. Given that all Boehner needed were 202 Republican votes and he got 216.

This vote was about as real as a Philadelphia presidential election.

And if Boehner wins the seat again, conservatives should just vote Democratic.

I was calling for that in the last election, guess it didn't work.

"re-annointed as King"

It was a valiant attempt. Now there is a crack in the dam.

The next blow will be Boner trying to put the votes together to fund DHS.

Of course, he could ask the Dems for support, and likely get it.

On this one.

But his days are numbered and the politics erode and reform daily.

Eventually the mere mention of his name will be POISON and the primaries of 2016 will have his name and image everywhere.

Boner and the Chamber know this.

They will do enormous damage on their way out.

" It just takes time"

You and the GOP can do that work without me.

And, there's millions just like me. I encourage them to defeat the GOP in every election, primary or general.

In the march to restore the Constitution and the Republic, first the GOP must die.

Everything else comes after that.

We’re winning, still.

Delusional statement. Government at all levels will continue to grow.

10s of millions more illegals will continue to pour into our dying Republic.

Please tell me specifically in what way are "we" winning? Are we moving towards Liberty?

The fascistic government will continue to grow and abuse it's citizens -- it will only reverse course when a total collapse occurs.

I’m sure the ones that voted against him were sincere, but I bet boner got to a bunch of them to flip.

Now Michael Medved, the voice of the Dewey/Rockefeller/McCain wing of the GOP is crowing about Boner’s “overwhelming” victory.

You have stated the cold reality that must be faced.

The utterly corrupt GOP must be displaced by a party that will restore our Republic.

It is an absolutely impossibility for the GOP to be taken over or reformed.

I was really disappointed in Mia Love. I supported her but never again! She betrayed us!

We couldn’t even get any TX Republicans to sit out Cornball and George P. Really, TX Republicans are surprisingly “moderate” or uninformed or both.

Do you think Mia is even aware of her first vote?

We haven’t won much of anything since Reagan signed into law King Day, but for the tax indexing in 1986.

That’s the nonsense order of operations. It’s through converting the GOP that we’ll win. You’d throw away the victories we’ve won? That’s just helping the state and liberals. We must thing strategically and long term. We’re winning.

Half of all Americans now live in states 100% under GOP control. It’s through the Constitutional reassertion of state power that we’ll make great progress. We simply need a federal GOP that stays out of the way and let’s that change happen. We simply need a GOP POTUS no worse than GW Bush to appoint judges for us.

All those states act as our bench. Those successful GOP states and their politicians form the victories of the next election and the next. Keep in mind that the country is greatly divided and the same people who elected Obama twice would have kept doing it, except for the wise ruling of Roberts that Democratcare is a tax. It’s killing liberalism and so is urban socialist control.

Don’t throw away the future. Too many FReepers approach politics as if it was running a household of their own. It’s like being mad because the baby wasn’t born in a month. We need patience and to learn to see that we’re winning.
