[Jane Long]

Lots of Reps are *issuing statements* on their bonehead Bonehead vote. Sorry, no sale...not buying...cowards....

Mia Love issued a pitiful statement, as well....

“There were no qualified or notable campaigns for speaker within the Republican Party other than John Boehner,” Love said. “Casting a vote for a candidate who has not actively campaigned and does not have the support to be speaker is an indirect vote for Nancy Pelosi, and I will not vote for Nancy Pelosi.”

Love also reminded voters that she is playing the long game when it comes to fighting for conservative principles.

Either Mia is lying, or she's not very smart.

She is not a liar and she is very smart, smart enough to hold her fire so her powder will be hot when the time comes to shoot. You could learn a thing or three from a smart woman like Mia. Don’t let how much we all despise John the weepy Cheeto Boehner ooze over into those who do not deserve the contempt.

Mia is stupid or lying.

There was no way Pelosi was going to get a majority of the 408 votes of those present.

That is how it works.

Boehner would have been denied the majority and a new vote taken.

For Pelosi to win almost 20 GOPers would have had to vote for her, and that was not going to happen.

Way to go Mia—you lasted less than one hour in congress as a conservative.
