Never trust promises made by a politician.

Good to see that Bonehead can actually act against opposition rather than cavibg. Just figures that his target is conservatives. Liberals have got to be pretty smug about this. Heck, last time that a Speaker bumped this many conservatives off committee was Nancy Pelosi.

As much as I despise Pelosi, I hope she is Speaker again in two years.

I will do what I can to make it happen.

Can another election be held? I don't know how that works but it seems it can.
Especially if a majority are shocked enough by the events of Boehner
openly declaring war on his own party instead of fighting the Democrats.

What a band of sissy hacks we have in DC. This is disgusting.

IOW Boehner makes committee assignments that are good for Boehner, and not according to what is good for the country, the GOP, or anything else.

The Quasi-Bank/Insurance Lobby, govt. Bureaus, and govt. Depts. and their aides, actually don’t wish to have any in Congress or the WH., with the ability to make decisions.

To them, the more incapacitated, culpable, and senile, the better, Boehner fits right in, as does Mitch, and the Undocumented one.

Webster and the other punishees need to band together in a Conservative caucus and make life miserable for JB. Simple rules:
1. Object to any and all unanimous consent requests.
2. Raise points of order at every opportunity.
3. Put forward amendments that delay, delay, delay.

JB wants fight, give him a war.

boner is obviously a leader in the socialist fifth column. Most republicans are.

Letting net recipients of redistributed plunder vote on how much plunder they get is idiocy.

Democracy is the first stage of socialism.

Iron-fisted U.S. House Speaker John Boehner should read:

Limp-wristed U.S. House Speaker John Boehner

One of the worst crimes in politics is to shoot at the King.

However the very worst crime in politics is to shoot at the King and miss.

John Boehner just guaranteed the Democrat will win the 2016 presidential election. Now maybe they can leave all of the commercials off the TV...

I guess House ethics committee would be off limits as well?

A. Obama is an enemy of the Republic.

B. Boehner supports Obama, giving him what he wants.

C. 216 Republican Congressmen support Boehner, giving him what he wants.

Therefore, yesterday’s vote confirmed 217 enemies of the Republic.

Act accordingly, my FRiends.

'My philosophy,' Webster told reporters after he heard the news that he had been bumped from the committee in a vindictive move, 'is don’t burn any bridges, don’t make it personal.'

The real leaders and real representatives of the voters are those with the courage to vote for someone other than Boehner. If all Boehner has is to withdraw party support and refuse to schedule legislation for vindictive reasons, then he may not be in control. He certainly is not carrying out the wishes of his voters.

In decades of voting I have never wondered about what committees the candidate served on, or legislation that was passed. The question I asked myself was is this candidate a good man or woman who put forward an effort to do the right thing.

The implications of the anti-Boehner votes is a sea change against corrupt and dishonest politicians who represent not the wishes of the vast majority of voters. Will Boehner lead or continue to follow?

It is plain WRONG to pass legislation without even reading it. Is there any difference between Republicans and Democrats--degree of corruptness?

That vote should be BLIND, it has nothing to do with legislation. Talk about intimidation. It is so corrupt up there it is sickening. Mark Sanford (R-SC) voted for Boehner...from a super-conservative district ...why? Go back to the primary and you will see Boehner endorsed him. There was the red flag and we missed it.
