What good does one vote for a Republican Speaker of the House do when all of her other votes, votes that affect US every day, are with the Rats?
When asked, she wouldn't even commit to saying she would vote for Boehner over Pelosi for Speaker
It's very simple. The Party in charge sets the agenda.
The Party in charge controls the legislation that is introduced on the floor.
The Party in charge makes sure that legislation that tramples on your freedom never sees the light of day.
Unless it's the 'crats that are the Party in charge.
