My new rep Gary Palmer made the list. Not surprised at all. Gary could be a rising star IMO. Besides being conservative he speaks well and has good recall of facts. He is persuasive but is admittedly new to DC.

nd your post history proves it.

My posting history proves I have not been absent for weeks. I don't post on all topics, clueless one.

And in fact I have posted on some of the Speaker threads tho you are too clueless to have picked that up.

To Pelousey any CONSERVATIVE is cryptonite (sp?) — WAAAY beyond evil. She’d do ANYTHING to prevent a Conservative Speaker.

I just made a phone call and sent an email to my Rep, Robert Hurt.

I hope it helps - and you know what they say, It can’t hurt...

And where were you for the post election when FR largely rejected everything you and the other lesser evil fan club pushed that got us Amnesty, inaction and more Obamacare funding?

Because you’ve said over and over we had to stay on the plantation. You put party over country in practically every post you make. All GOP all the time. And many of us know it. The rest need to read up on your act before trusting anything you post.

Tomorrow.

I think it is unlikely Boehner will be unseated as speaker, but I am hoping for the best.

Nothing.

And that is why he probably will not be unseated.

I never said "we" had to stay on the plantation. You are always lying about what I say. Here's another example.

you went missing after the election for weeks

Another lie.

I think conservative chances are best when we’re solidly united behind one strong candidate with a strong message and a strong appeal.

This, btw, also applies to the presidential primaries as well.

To: Jim Robinson; All

I’ve been on the phone this morning calling every California Congressman. I’m telling them that the voters are looking for someone with enough backbone to vote against Boehner since he is no different than Pelosi.

Hope it is doing some good.

Get on the phones everyone. Let them hear from us!!!

Except anyone an read your post history for the last couple years and see clearly you doing exactly that, getting called on it and then denying it. Like now.

Go ahead and state for the record you never campaigned to elect rinos, told people to ‘keep their powder dry’ and simmilar nonsense and made excuses for NOT tossing RINOS from power in the elections. It is you and those like you that are the reason we are where we are today.

Has anyone been fired, retired, gone to jail over what Gowdy’s Committee
has discovered?

I agree. The conservative republicans should [quickly] get together, each setting aside ego and personal ambition, and settle on a single candidate to challenge Boehner, with all others dropping their names from consideration.

Hey, it COULD happen, right?

The Texas delegation is in hiding.

Tomorrow’s vote on leadership will expose the fake conservatives.
And the conservative nation will be taking names.
