Some questions come to mind:

1. Why would anyone expect Boehner to NOT use the power he has to punish Republicans who vote with the Democrats?
If he’s “bad”, he WOULD use that power. If he’s “good”, he SHOULD use that power.

2. Why would Meadows think that voting WITH the Democrats to block DEBATE — unless a pork-laden transportation bill is passed FIRST — would somehow “send a message”? How about eMail? How about debate? How about a face-to-face “message” delivered at, you know, a MEETING?


FRiend, you don’t seem to understand what is happening here.

Voting for the rule motion is basically the House version of cloture.

Boehner is bullying conservatives who do not support a bill (like TPA) into voting for the rule motion. Then the REPUBLICAN SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE does an end around the GOP caucus conservatives and uses DEMOCRATS to pass the bill.

IMO, if Boehner is going to use Dems to pass a bill he should have to beg Pelosi for some votes on the rule. He won’t do that because it’s hugely embarrassing for a Speaker not to have control of his party. It’s much easier for Boehner to browbeat and bully the few genuine conservatives we have left into supporting his actions.

I’m sad to see a FReeper approve of his bullying tactics, apparently.

Mark is the most articulate spokesman for conservatism on TV or radio. Better than Rush, Hannity, and others. As our eloquent fellow Freeper, Nathanbedford, has stated, Mark is part of the solution and not the problem.


Levin isn’t part of the problem but he spends way too much time focusing on Boehner and McConnell. The real problem is the rank and file GOP that elects them. The GOP caucus love Boehner & Mitch because they take the flak. I’d like to hear more about these beltway stooges from Levin. How they vote, who their donors are, etc.

I’m still p.o.’d at the media whore,Trey Gowdy, for not having the guts to show up for the Speaker Vote.

Levin is much better than Rush, Hannity and Savage, I’ll tell you that.

I’m one of those average American older vet WASPS with both lines of ancestry going back beyond the Revolutionary, Civil Wars, WW1 and 2, and Korea and beyond who themselves are constantly being attacked by relatively xxxxxing newcomer commie elites who hate everything about Christianity.

Neither my ancestry nor religion doesn’t make me special in America but it mean as much as the views of corrupt newcomers who would trash all others.

They have their personal media megaphone who constantly rag and hate on us as the perpetual bigots as if we represent everything evil about the USA. They are the bigots.

Maybe they should find another country to settle in and destroy. That’s what my very opinionated Uncle Joe Robinson would have said. We need leaders that unite us and instead most of them work to divide us. I support candidates and beliefs not Parties.

This isn’t the first time Gowdy has carried water for the corportists so I can’t say I’m surprised.

Gowdy put out an email defending his TPA vote but then said nothing about it on facebook or twitter. My Rep. DeSantis did the same. That seems to be the pattern with these “conservatives”. They cash the K Street checks under the assumption that the unwashed GOP base back in the district are not informed and the issue will be forgotten.

The only way, THE ONLY WAY, to get rid of Boehner as speaker is for Republicans to lose. Levin hasn’t realized that yet.

He’s been saying this for years. Where he makes his mistake is thinking the road to representation runs through the GOP.

Thank God Brat defeated Cantor. But, it is so difficult to defeat a long-time, entrenched politician and their gigantic campaign war chests. Something has to happen out of the ordinary scope of politics and Elections. Something like having a video of Boehner in bed with a dead girl or a live little boy. And not sure that would even work today.

He doesn’t want people to leave the GOP and be disenfranchised from the primaries, but the Republican primary voters keep making awful choices.
