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:

Yes, they think we're that stupid.
No, not really:
(Proverbs 25:14)
Like clouds and wind without rain is one who boasts of gifts never given.
You of course are correct.
The last few days were the final negotiations on who could vote how, who was going to appeal to the “crazies” (you know, us, the Base), and whether it was going to look like the party was being responsive.
Now back to kowtowing to K Street, setting up fat contracts for the contributors to pig out on, and negotiating with Mexico over just how many of its unwanted “citizens” we have to take.
Trey Gowdy is a coward and a fraud.
A fake conservative.
Was it seriously in doubt?
I said all along this was going to just be a figurative vote.
To vote against the Speaker and not be able to win is putting your congressional career in a bottle and putting in on the shelf until Boner is done. The equivalent of pissing in his cornflakes, no wonder a newly-elected congress person like Mia Love was afraid to do it.
Look at the list of names and think about how many of them have provided conservative leadership in the past. Or are names you even recognize.
Co-opted before they’re even sworn in. That’s how they do it, folks!
Bunch of spineless, panty waists. I am now officially an Independent.
Independents are fine, friend, especially because many of them ~were~ Republicans but got disgusted with the liberal drift of the party (they’re the MOST conservative of Republican voters (some, anyway..), it’s WHEN Democrats are allowed in Republican Party Primaries that we have a problem.
Mia love voted for him and Trey Gowdy either hasn’t voted or voted for boner.
ANYONE who DIDN’T vote actually voted FOR BONER.
Gowdy just lost my respect, he’s another RINO who still thinks we are to stupid to hold them accountable.
ACTIONS MATTER, WORDS DON’T
GUTLESS RINO COWARDS—MIA LOVE, TREY GOWDY and ............
And just how do you expect that to happen? Duh - we tried.
What a farce.
Rush reported that Grothman/WI voted for Boehner...very disappointing, I hope Rush was wrong for a change.
WRONG!
More votes Must have come through after I started looking.
Rats!
Fully agreed.
IN THE GRIM DARKNESS OF THE FAR FUTURE THERE IS ONLY GOVERNMENT.

GUTLESS COWARDS

gowdy-—YOU FAILED THE TEST.
C’mon folks we’ve all been played here. Boehner was never in danger to lose his speakership. That’s fine. What that Bonehead doesn’t realize is he’s riled up the hornet’s nest, namely us. We don’t have to waste our time calling his office. We’ll just walk out on the party. Our numbers are significant enough to end the GOP. No more acting like the separated couple always looking for reconciliation. It’s time to divorce ourselves from the Republican Party.
As expected. The real action is happening at the state level. Our GOP coalition is made up of a fairly wide tent. Going forward we’ll need to pass laws that capture agreement with a majority of that coalition. There’s a lot of room for agreement.
The victories come from changing the thoughtspace. That’s already occurred with guns and abortions. We’re winning the fight against the welfare state and Islamism as well. It just takes time.
We definitely need a new party
