John Boehner was the face of this farce, with his “voice vote unanimous” approval of the rules, while a large number of the delegates jeered at him.
It reminded of years ago, when Tip O’Neil pulled the same stunt at the Democrat convention, of ignoring the delegates and pronouncing what the leadership had decided.
But I think this time there should be a different outcome.
Boehner thinks that the House will make him Speaker, after all the stunts he has pulled. They *have* to, because that is what the *leadership* wants.
But there is now a big bloc of Tea Party congressmen, and many of them are fed up with Boehner and his antics.
So we need to send these congressmen a message, that they should not just roll over and do what the leadership wants.
Find someone who will be a conservative Speaker of the House, and tell Boehner that he is just a congressman again. Not a committee chairman. Not a powerhouse. Just a congressman.
It is called payback. And Boehner deserves a heaping helping of it.
This is the same crap the GOPPERS used on the Ron Paul rebels, also similar to the techniques used by the Obama creeps to take down the Thigh Master’s bid for the WH.
