Where were those votes just a few short months ago? He’s always been what he has been. Nothing has changed.
Thanks, I just threw up my supper.
Lol!
I’ll have to use that image :-)
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The alcoholic, golfing, spray tanned, idiot may be having a come to Jesus moment
QUIT JOHN QUIT
The Cantor defeat and Boehner voted out of the speakership would/should send shockwaves through the GOPElite establishment.
It will take a lot more, however, to see any real changes inside the GOP.
But, it would be a start.
It might make McConnell have an I-saw-the-light revelation.
BWAAAAAA!!!BWAAAAAA!!!BWAAAAAA!!!BWAAAAAA!!!BWAAAAAA!!!BWAAAAAA!!!BWAAAAAA!!!BWAAAAAA!!!BWAAAAAA!!!BWAAAAAA!!!BWAAAAAA!!!BWAAAAAA!!!BWAAAAAA!!!
There are 25 members who voted for a Republican alternative at the beginning of this Congress, and now there are plenty more who are disaffected with the tactics of Boehner and his allies in leadership. More members, those who want to replace Boehner suspect, will, over the course of the month of August, come out publicly against Boehner at town hall events and in interviews with media. Unless Democrats bail Boehner out in September or October, if and when such a vote for the speakership would occur, by that point there would be enough members opposed to Boehner’s re-election for him to lose his position.
Oh sweet irony. Boner's fate in the hands of the (D)ummycrats. Of course this means that we have to watch even more closely because he is likely to find it necessary to make more deals with them to secure their votes. The vicious cycle he is already in picks up steam, like a drug addict that steals money for more drugs, then needs to steal even more money ... ad infinitum.
He has no choice now. He lied down with the dogs and got up with fleas, now he has to bed the dogs again. Well, actually he does have a choice, Boner and those two lackeys McCarthy and Scalise ( and Ryan too ) could simply resign their leadership posts. Be as honorable as Nixon was guys! Do it for the country. Take one for the team.
“You look at the progression—look at a little over two years ago, how many members voted against him two years ago or 30 months ago? Then you look at how may voted against John Boehner six months ago. How many people voted against the rule [on Obamatrade], right? And you look at the punitive way they’ve tried to deal with these members including guys like Rep. Alex Mooney (R-WV)67% or Rep. Ken Buck (R-CO)83% who voted for Boehner six months ago.
Yep, that is a measurable decline, and it is the first I have seen of it. A week ago a lot of people tried to paint the Meadows strategy as a half-cocked mistake, but now we see there was some serious thought behind it.
You know the bureaucrats in the District of Criminals must be mad enough to chew Neutronium over this direct attack on their well-oiled machine. The last time I remember the peasants striking the royalty was when Gingrich and his team had the audacity to challenge and defeat a sitting speaker, Foley, in his local campaign. The comparison is appropriate because Foley (D) and Boner (R) are for all practical purposes, interchangeable.
That is hysterical. LOL!
LOL! You just inspired a splendid idea. I think it is worth a 49 cents stamp just to mail him a couple of tissue.
It is a big shame that Boehner was re-elected as speaker after the last election, by so-called tea party, conservative congressmen. They need to go back to their constituents and profusely apologize to them for claiming to be conservative, after that fiasco.
They did not boldly support those who stood up to the status quo. In other words, they were more concerned with protecting their standing with the gop leadership than representing their conservative constituents.
Elected by empty suits that refused to listen to those that put them in office.
I wrote to my rep, Glenn "G.T." Thompson hack in January, and demanded that Boner not be reelected as House Speaker... I was disregarded. The vote was had and many days later I get a canned response letter explaining how the Republicans need to stick together. FUGT! You are done, dude... if I have to personally run against you, I will... but you are OUTTA THERE!
When I look at that face I see the Cowardly Lion.
I saw a kid last weekend at the open house at the local airport... and he was wearing a 3%er shirt. I don’t see those too often.
Let’s not get carried away. Glad I could inspire somebody. LOL!
If by "the pathetic" you are referring to Boehner, he was elected in a complacent, fairly nondescript rural district in which insightful voters are a minority, and where he has not had a significant challenger in recent memory.
. His beltway disease has gone unchecked, not because of people voting for the lesser evil, but because of indifference and apathy. If you want to vent your spleen against the LIV, fine, but your rants are otherwise seriously misplaced.
Oh I don’t think so. He had people here screaming to elect him over the freshman powerless Democrat.
Then he had people bemoaning the last attempt to unseat him because ‘Obama is the enemy”. Sure Obama is the enemy. And thanks to the people that chose lesser evil, the Enemy has a man on the right that has 100% backed his play.
So no, my comments are not misplaced at all. They are fully accurate and in the place Bhoner was campaigned for and defended. Here.
