The question for Kansas voters is: who did this guy vote for in November?
November was when the Repubs conducted a secret ballot to decide who their candidate would be. Certainly prior to that it was important for new Republican members to quietly/secretly select a better choice. That was a time of no risk of retribution by Boner.
Two things out of this are bothersome:
First, there was no effective or concerted effort with regard to ousting Boner in November; i.e., any winner probably would not have been suitably experienced or adept at outplaying the Dems. Ergo, we may not be in as bad a position as it appears.
Secondly, if anything happens to Biden, Boner with all we now know about his character and personal habits is next in line for the presidency. Imagine that.
Many have mentioned the November secret ballot as the time for replacing the worthless Boehner. Perhaps so, but it is important to remember that it was after this vote that he and the “leadership” rammed CRomnibus (funding Amnesty and fully funding Obamacare) down our throats in the Lame Duck session.
This was the first time that Boehner could be confronted, and the Republican Caucus folded up like a cheap suit.
Here’s a question for you folks. Why isn’t the election of the speaker done by secret ballot. The congress is fully capable of making its own election rules in this regard. I think the answer should be perfectly obvious.
