From the article.

After the meeting, he told reporters he may reverse the punishment against two lawmakers who ran against him Tuesday.

Let's see if this happens.

“We yesterday began a new era of circumstances, and one is that we have members who are going to solicit the outside in ways that they have not previously.”

Okay , I’m tired, maybe I just can’t read it, but WTF is he saying?

Pete needs to run for Congress where he now lives...with his new wife, in Florida.

“I called my rep and told him to vote against Boehner. He voted for him anyway”

Me too.

And yet, all those Representatives voted Boehner anyway.

And they’re really sorry they did that, but the vote is now over.

So shut your racist faces and go pay your taxes - your government is broke. :)

My representative lost my vote with her support for Boehner. I will not under any circumstances vote for her again.

He’s trying to blame the calls on ‘outside’ groups.
But the honest grassroots nature of the disgust with him was undeniable.

Wrong. They weren’t rattled in the least or they’d not have voted him back in.

Thanks! That felt good! The guy that answered my call seemed sympathetic and unsurprised.

People should prank call Boehner’s office every 5 minutes for the rest of the year.

Triangulation and BS. The gop wing of the uniparty is too busy laughing at the rubes in flyover country to be bothered with anything approaching reflection. The reporter didn’t mention how long the laughing fits lasted.

One thing to notice, and I’ve seen it twice, is the meme that the opposition wasn’t “planned” or “organized” and thus couldn’t be supported. So think about this for a moment. This bunch of lickspittles couldn’t vote for an opponent to boehner because the opposition didn’t have a good enough plan. So what precisely did boehner have to offer as a plan? 101 ways to capitulate? Was there some sort of powerpoint presentation on collaboration and betrayal?

“In two years, you will all fall in line. These guys know it.”

Thry’ve done the political calculus and decided that conservatives can be safely ignored.

And when a new party forms and they die out. We will get the last laugh. They are the new whigs.

“We’ve never been lobbied quite like that,” House Rules Committee Chairman Pete Sessions

This guy Pete Sessions is a worm. Is this why he ignored the calls.
