“28 voted against Boehner/Pelosi - By my count (I may be wrong) 25 members didn’t vote,m of which 23 were Dems. The Dems corrupted the process by not showing up and got Boehner re-elected. Is anyone out there? HELLO? HELLO? No one see this but me????”

We see it. They should have been able to get at least 50 without any problem. We just elected a whole bunch and most were supposed to be conservative.

Exactly. It is absurd to think of the GOP as a revolutionary party. It never has been. It reminds me a lot of the church I belong to. Very old. Slow to change. Patriarchal, hierarchical, bureaucratic, institutional, staid, prosaic, and lumbering.

In TX there is no way to change one’s affiliation until May 2016, when he can then vote in a Democrat primary. That’s the only choice out there. And who want to do that?

In North Carolina, you can still vote in either primary.

I can even get the form on-line.

I wonder if he can hear us better now though? Somehow I doubt it.

When on a plane YOU KNOW WILL CRASH:

What do you do, fly until you run out of gas or crash it best you can?

I say we all vote for the most whacked d-rats from now on and crash this thing as fast as possible. D-R NO DIFFERENCE.

If there had been thirty Republican votes against Boehner there would have then been 2 Democrat votes for Boehner. Reid was not going to permit his man Boehner to lose.

The new LA Rep. Dr. Abraham, may be a liberal plant or even worse than his predecessor, Rep. McAllister.

Bye, GOP.

Not nice knowin’ ya.

I agree, and I'm with you.

Let's start the "Free Republican Party"

"Free" meaning we're not owned by big business, chamber of commerce, billionaires, media personalities, etc, etc.

"Free" to do what's right for the country. "Freely" following the actual intent of the US Constitution.

Did you read my post? I said Gowdy has not “referred” one single individual
to the Justice Department. Do you even know what “referred” even means?

I noticed you avoided why Gowdy did not even vote on such an important
matter to conservatives across the nation.

You can have Gowdy and this corrupt GOP.

I’m done. Maybe you can find a Mexican to replace my vote,
because the GOP has not represented for some time.

Interesting comparison.
If you run the thing out of gas trying to go as far as you can, you are doomed to deadstick it into whatever's below you.

If you use your last gallons to find a good field and make a controlled off-field landing under power, your chances of survival are greatly improved.

Why? By words and actions, he’s proven himself a RINO. This is not the first time he’s shown his true RINO colors. Why do you keep giving Gowdy “the benefit of the doubt?”

This is the very reason why Boehner and his GOPe enablers can continue to do what they do. People who should know better keep giving them license to continue to destroy the country.

My hope has never been that the Gowdys of the world will change. They won’t because they’re getting paid money, power and influence to destroy the US. My hope has been that the people who are paying attention would wake up from their delusion. If the ones who are awake and should be paying attention are intentionally looking the other way, nothing changes.

We need an online petition demanding Boehner resigns.

Yeah, I thought he had some kind of Select Committee on Benghazi. LOL Somehow it went down the worm hole with all the other GOP fake committees.

They are all a big joke.
