This is the email I received from Yoder's office as an explanation for his vote. Typical! Time for a 3rd party.

“I know that many Kansans did not support either of them for Speaker, but there was simply no viable alternative.”

BS! There was no viable backbone among the broader membership.

[9YearLurker]

Same excuse Mia Love gave, as if Pelosi had been at risk of winning.

[bigbob]

well you didn’t really expect him to come out and admit he was afraid to vote against Boehner for fear of retribution if it didn’t work, did you?

[tennmountainman]

Another fraud and fake conservative exposed.

[House Atreides]

Blah, blah, blah .... .... GOPe Talking Points. They’re becoming more and more like the ‘RATS.

[demshateGod]

Yes. Time for a third party. But better than that, we should start a Kansas Conservative Party.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

Disappointing but not surprising.

On January 6th, 2015, the House of Representatives voted to elect the Speaker of the House for the 114th Congress. As you may know, John Boehner was re-elected as Speaker. Speaker Boehner received a majority of the votes with 216 and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) received 164. No other candidate received more than 12 votes. As such, this vote was a choice between John Boehner and Nancy Pelosi. I know that many Kansans did not support either of them for Speaker, but there was simply no viable alternative. I believe that it is important for the Republican Congress to show a unified front as we move to stop President Obama's liberal agenda, and that is why voted for Speaker Boehner.

 

This is the same pukeage Mia Love repeated at her presser.

Apparently John Boehner's office gave all his new little bitches a canned reply to recite when defending their gutless choice to vote for him.

[Timber Rattler]

There are those words “viable alternative” again...funny how they keep popping up in these lame excuses.

[mulligan]

Another lying member of the corrupt GOP.

[iontheball]

Another dirty rotten coward, worthless pile of dung. Apparently, they continue to believe their flimflamming will still work. No alternative he claims? His cheap excuse is an insult to our intelligence. First he betrays, then he insults us.

[Rome2000]

This guy is a mental midget.

Compared to the statements of some of the other Reps who voted for Boehner, this reads like it was penned by a 12 year old moron.

“Like” me on Facebook indeed.

[DoodleDawg]

Yoder the Floater is a long time RINO.

[Moorings]

I believe that it is important for the Republican Congress to show a unified front as we move to stop President Obama's liberal agenda, and that is why voted for Speaker Boehner.

Actually Yoder, you just ensured that Obama's liberal agenda is NOT stopped. Boehner is now going to be teaming up with the democrats to further the important items for Democrats. It does not matter how many conservative votes you cast on upcoming bills. Boehner does not need your votes anymore as he has the democrats.

Why is it that Boehner does not feel the need to put up a unified front when it comes to spending, amnesty and other liberal issues?

Yoder, you just pissed on the voters who expected you to make a difference.

[Svartalfiar]

Huh. At least your Rep has bothered sending a form-response. I haven’t heard anything from Pete Sessions yet.
