A Senior Republican leadership aide described the mood as "chaos for the leadership ranks."

"We're absolutely stunned. Honestly, we really can't believe it," said the aide, who likened it to the 2004 election defeat of Tom Daschle of South Dakota, who was Senate minority leader at the time.

Outstanding agenda. It should be on everyone’s day planner.

You forgot a little after-dinner commentary of FR; a nightcap and prayers before bed.

The media have been full of stories recently, that the Tea Party was dead, and had jumped the shark.

It appears that this is not the case, and that the Tea Party is alive and well.

"But now, who the hell would be the next speaker?"

Imagine. The Republican Party may be forced to take an action that isn't based on "whose turn it is".

The horror.

Allow no sentencing discretion, period.

The guy that was booted will have to find another job by which he can serve the corporate elites in reducing American taxpayers to poverty.

The fine is $10,000 now. They just never prosecute anyone on this charge.

This is bigger than Daschel’s defeat. This is a primary!

That’s even funnier than your comment on the illegal under-aged moochers going over your place to weed your garden as a form of play. {Note to others: I reported the border agents got a solicitation “toplay with the border jumping kids.” Not process them or deport them; to “play with them!}
