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:

So nothing is going to change, same old clown show

the drunken prescription drug addicts in congress continue to preserve the socialist oligarchy status quo by re-electing this squirrell balled maggot to "lead" again

"Affordable Healthcare Act" will continue on its course (which changed Health Insurance into a " medical bill discount if you pay a monthly fee " system)

the EPA will continue to use the environment as a socialist tool

Lobbiests will continue to be the constituents of the government while the citizens remain the useful idiot tax slaves

the national debt will continue to explode into infinity Democrats will remain the dominatrix party of exquisite slave torture

Republicans will remain the submissive beat down party of bleat and retreat

not sure who I hate more, republican or democrat politicians

the only difference between them is the sales pitch the results are the same __________________

Yes, he is.

First things, first. There is no election for nearly two years. So you should let pretenders like Gowdy know that you are on to him and warn everyone you know about him. You hound every move he makes and whenever he lets his true RINO out, as he did against Steve King, you pounce on him. Let him and others know what he has done and how he has hurt our country.

I am one of those who places the Constitution and US sovereignty first ahead of many other national problems. Anyone who is against those things, as Gowdy is by being for amnesty, moves to the top of that list of 100 of yours. Anyone who is against the Constitution and US sovereignty while pretending to be a champion of those things, has even greater need for removal.

You never know what subversives like that are doing while you avert your eyes. You never know how much trouble they plan to create and you can never trust them. But those of you who have decided to look the other way, because Gowdy appears talk the talk while he fools people into thinking he is conservative, are being deceived.

A watchman keeps careful watch to scope out the approaching enemy in all of his disguises. When he sees the enemy, he’s supposed to warn everyone. If he fails to do so, any damage done is on his head. But if he warns people and they fail to pay attention, all the damage done is on their own heads.

I am paying attention. You’re being deceived.

Yes, I thought there was hope for her but she was looking out for only herself.

I never, ever use this acronym, but WTH??

[G Larry]

“deceived”?

Not likely.

RINO is actually not an accurate description of these Quislings. A Republican, by definition, is a supporter of Big Government. But we had thought that maybe, just maybe, there would be a growing core of real conservatives who would stand up to Boehner and the rest of the Republican lackeys and send a real message to the GOP leadership. Sadly, there is a very tiny rump of barely 6% of the entire House membership that are truly conservative. The rest are just tagging along for their seat on the gravy train. America is in much deeper peril than anyone can imagine, because even if 2016 ends with a Republican sweep of the Presidency, Senate and House, the slide in the economic and moral abyss will continue.

I disagree.

Elect Ted Cruz and keep the House and Senate majority and see what changes.

I don’t think Mia Love is so stupid to believe that had she voted against Boehner she would have been voting for Pelosi—but she apparently thinks we’re so stupid as to believe that:

“frauds and fake conservatives”

That would be someone who doesn’t vote the way you want...right?
My my my must be wonderful to be you....and have such power to decide who is and who is not a Real Conservative.

[tennmountainman]

Yep. That describes me.
