This vote will show us Texan's who the true Conservatives are.

Ted Poe

Steve Stockman

Pete Olson

I've contacted this offices and said it was time for a change, and to support Louie Gohmert!

Politico tries to help Boehner so he can be an easy target for the Democrats. It’s in the tubes for them and readily figured out.

RINO’s voting for Bonehead is not a surprise.

What I will be watching are the GOP hacks who pretend to be conservatives. These fake conservatives will be exposed today.
And let the primary season begin!

I was never very optimistic....

Neither was I — but yesterday, I called my rep at both his local office and DC office and got through on the first ring. Told his toaddies that I wanted him to vote AGAINST Boner. I had high hopes for him. He was just elected to his second term — a supposed conservative and Iraq vet, but I heard this morning he was voting FOR Boner. I have voted Republican in every election. No more — I’m done.

Don’t take it personally. You were merely outbid.

(I agree with you)

I’ve called and emailed my representative, however, I don’t have a lot of hope.

Remember when Pelosi allowed “moderate” Democrats to vote against Obamacare once she had enough of a margin to secure passage?

Part of me wonders if that’s what Boner and the other GOP elites are doing.

I don’t have much either, but God calls us not to results but to obedience. The end of the thing is in His hands...

Since Democrats can skip the vote and raise the threshold needed, they don’t have to go on record supporting Boehner and it permits some Republicans to oppose Boehner, yet still permit him to be selected.

If that is the ploy, it may become apparent if any of those who oppose him are still seated on committees.

There is expected to be blowback for the opposition if he is made whip.

I was listening to Beck through an ear-bud as I walked the dogs, Chris Stewart called in and I embarrassed myself by loudly blurting an outrage before I caught myself. Chris Stewart sounded like a pathetic, little whining pansy! Sheesh! We’re so screwed.

This is 2011 all over again. Full of noise and fury, signifying nothing. But at least FreedomWorks will raise some cash off their lying emails: “We’re just 9 votes away from firing Boehner.” Idiots.

Amen!

We are NOT called to win the battle, that is totally in God's hands; we are called to march around Jericho seven times, blowing the horns.
