The glaring embarrassment known as Andy Harris (MD-1) is not on the list, of course.
To: Jane Long
Love, Mia (UT) - Boehner.
Very dissapointing.

I’ve always been non-affiliated. :) I never wanted them to think that they didn’t have to win my vote.

Really disappointed in Tom McClintock. What did he have to lose?

Tom McClintock (R-CA) I thought was a good pro American conservative but his vote for the bonehead says otherwise, a huge disappointment
To: ExCTCitizen
Poliquin is from Maine. Thanks! I’ll have the corrections on my final tally.

The Fact that most of the Republicans reelected this rat that pushes the Administration agenda..... when the Administration was overwhelmingly defeated in the election last November tells us everything we need to know about the Republican party.
I am DONE with the Republicans. They will never get a single vote, penny, anything from me this day forward. In the past at least I supported the conservatives candidates. The conservatives left in the Republican party CANNOT get the votes or any job done.
All Boehner is going to do to push the Leftist Agenda. He is a Democrat with an R by his name. That just got reelected by the majority of Republicans. That clearly tells us everything we need to know about the Republicans.
Oh and that “Brilliant Strategy” of the defeat the party within has been a collisional failure.
The only way this mess will get straightened out is through another party. The Republicans are a joke!

Why did I not see Mia Love and Jason Chaffetz on the list?

25 men that I bet would join a Tea Party.
The Republicans are finished. Stick a fork in them. They are Democrats with Rs by their name.
They are going to push through the Administrations agenda. Now you know why Obama is so confident. He knows they are completely compromised and neutered.
To: Triple
Hold on a second. I got him mixed up with someone else.

As of just a few minutes ago, I am no longer a registered member of the Republican party of 40+ years. Just changed it online to non-affiliated.
Liberating, isn't it? I would imagine that it feels like a wife feels, after finally leaving the abusive husband. Today was the litmus test determining which Republicans stand in opposition to liberalism (although there may have been some kabuki votes). Tomorrow is the litmus test determining which Republicans can lead the opposition -- any conservative who does not have the courage to lead conservatives in a new direction, away from the Republican party, are not leaders, and do not deserve our support.
The alliance between Republicans and conservatives is now over.

Yep....BIG disappointment from Mia.
She was endorsed by Col West and FreedomWorks.... they can’t be thrilled about this (FreedomWorks finally came out against Bonehead for Speaker.)

Non-affiliated is where I started and now I’m back’.

I agree, why would Tom McClintock back stab the conservatives?
