It's being discovered that these members appear to be Paul-ites.

Just as RINO ROMNEY’s ONLY long term enemy was
conservatives, so it appears to be with Boehner.

For example, one of them would not vote to deprive Planned Parenthood of funding.

And a couple want deep defense cuts.

They have obviously made the decision that it is the conservatives and Tea Party people within the party that caused the GOP to lose the election.

These are Ron Paul people...not conservatives. More libertarian.

The GOP is the “relief valve” party for the NWO. It is there to give us the illusion of choice.

Without serious budget cuts there will be no balanced budget. Boehner is purging those who would cut back the Federal budget so he can have more same-ol-same ol. These are TEA Party people, many of whom believe one way to a more balanced budget is less government.

I think the poster claimed the GOP has a prob with the Tea Party and Conservatives driving away the same constituency.

As far as I’m concerned, the recent election losses have little to do with the Libertarian Party; a group that is largely liberal and likely cost the Democrats more votes. This group, btw, is not exactly libertarian.

Boehner and the Ruling Class Establishment GOP are merely the Judenrat for the MarxoFascists.

Conservatives need a divorce from the GOP or face the ovens by the hand of the very people they thought were on their side.

Maybe one day we can elect a citizen-legislator Congress and hold these guys who “served” during these troubled times accountable — that is, get the ones who caused the trouble.

Why should he care about conservatives? He knows that conservative principles dwindle during election cycles. No reward for weakness.

This group, btw, is not exactly libertarian.

2 of them endorsed Ron Paul, the 3rd got most of his campaign money from libertarians, and the 4th took a position which continued funding to Planned Parenthood.

Yes, they are libertarians.

Party before country. Holding onto the office before country. Sounds like the democrats.

VitacoreVision ~ from the article : “ Judging by Boehner’s choice of targets, one of those factors is the failure of conservative Republicans to put loyalty to party above loyalty to their oath of office to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

Then it is clearly evident that Boehner’s time has come and gone as our voice in government ; the position of minority leader is that of the ‘leader of the loyal opposition.’
There is nothing loyal about Boehner when he puts party loyalty before loyalty and responsibility for the country.
The ‘fiscal cliff’ is little more than kabuki theatre made into politics; it shows up every January and like a can in the road , it always gets kicked down the road.
Boehner is no more loyal to the country than is grandma Pelosi.
It’s time for a change !!
Enough of contrived crises !!
