"There was no encouragement to conservatives. The Speaker and Majority Leader, these folks knew there's money for abortion, money for the EPA to hurt states like Texas, Arizona. There's just all kinds of money in there for things we don't support. and, Sean, you and I know some of us had gone to our leadership and said, 'look, we can do this very easily. Let's do it together with conservatives. That's the bulk of our conference, don't make them take a wrong vote. Let's fund everything for two months.

The voice vote electing Boehner to a third term as Speaker came after he spent months on the road stumping and raising cash for GOP candidates across the country, from California and Iowa to New York and Maine.”—The Hill 11/13/14
