Of course. The only thing they understand is getting your money and your vote. Having gotten these two items, you are useless to them. Until the next cycle.

There is nothing left in the GOP to hold onto or reform. Time to get out and deprive them of both money and votes. There should be a list of those who voted against Boehner. All the others must be defeated at all costs in 2016. Why hasn’t someone announced their candidacy against Boehner already?

“Why hasn’t someone announced their candidacy against Boehner already?”

Because the effective control of our Legislative bodies is held by the “monied few.” Occasionally you get an election result like Brat winning in VA, but that kind of event is an outlier today. Only when the country finally crashes will people make changes in their elected reps (maybe). I used to believe in free enterprise, but I have come to the realization that guys like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet must have limits placed on them by society because they do great damage with their accumulated wealth no matter how honestly they originally came by it. Having millions (or even billions) to spend as you see fit in the political process puts very big thumbs on the political scale to our collective detriment. I would start by breaking up the media companies because they are doing the most immediate damage.
