It's Still Speaker Boehner

Every 2 years, Freepers get their hopes up that the GOP leadership will change to someone more fringe-y. This time, they say, is the last time. It's the proof the GOP is dead to them. It's the end of America.

In other words, exactly the same as it always is.

sand88 says the same thing every week, I'd bet.
The fascistic government will continue to grow and abuse it's citizens -- it will only reverse course when a total collapse occurs.
Diana in Wisconsin is adorable!
@#$%^&*! Uni-Party! Grrrrr!
martin_fierro is srs.
Changing my party affiliation to “Independent.” Srsly.
FR_addict will keep this up for all of 1 day, I'd bet.
I think I'll call his office every day and ask him to resign for the good of the country.
tennmountainman is one of many noting that a rising GOP star abstained.
Trey Gowdy is a coward and a fraud.
A fake conservative.
I'd get excited, but Freepers have raged against Cruz for a day before returning to luv.

CodeToad calls Boehner an extreme left-wing liberal.
Since they elected an extreme left-wing liberal as speaker, they can do without my vote; State, local, and federal. No eGOP candidates ever again. I won’t feed the beast that is destroying my country.
Hetty_Fauxvert got his hopes up again!
I hate these people.

And I’m pretty annoyed with myself for thinking there was even a chance
bayliving - America is over.
We're truly done as a constitutional republic when those men and women whom held themselves as virtuous defenders of the constitution, refuse to do what is right.

Each man and woman has their price. It only took 30 pieces of silver to condem Jesus. The price has gone up a bit since then but the outcome will still be the same.
BigEdLB thinks Democrats shouldn't be allowed to vote for speaker.
By my count (I may be wrong) 25 members didn’t vote, 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????
Catsrus just makes things up.
Boehner is in celebration mode from dawn to dusk. He doesn’t wait until evening to do his “cheers.” He’s an all-day drunk.
Poor Mariner still has hope!
It was a valiant attempt. Now there is a crack in the dam.

The next blow will be Boner trying to put the votes together to fund DHS.

Of course, he could ask the Dems for support, and likely get it.

On this one.

But his days are numbered and the politics erode and reform daily.

Eventually the mere mention of his name will be POISON and the primaries of 2016 will have his name and image everywhere.

Boner and the Chamber know this.

They will do enormous damage on their way out.
That narrative sounds exactly like what they said about Obama in 2011.

  1. If the Repubs really wanted to overthrow Boehner, and not just send a message, they would have gathered behind someone other than Louis Gohmert.

    Louis Gohmert is considered to be a kook even among most conservatives.

    The tastiest part of the election, though, is not the tears of the freepers ... it is the repudiation of Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and the myriad of other right wingers who threw their endorcements to Screwy Louie.

    2. The tastiest part will be as Boehner retaliates against the rebels. Watch those committee chairmanships evaporate! Heh heh heh

  3. Louie would have been pure entertainment as Speaker. We missed an opportunity here. :)

    It's not like anything will get done in the House anyway, they haven't done squat for 6 years.

  4. Whoops... I think you meant to post this on Freep itself, right?

  6. ...adding, that this comment is funny in that for a long time, the Internet Tough Guy party line on Muslims was that they were The New Hitler...you know, "Islamofascism" and all that. Under that paradigm, the typical call to arms was for a new Allied force to arise and defeat their Mohammedo-Hitlerian tyranny.

    Granted, the fringier types might call for a new Crusade, or for nuking Mecca, or even for outright genocide, but to date, "we need a new Hitler!" has generally not been seen as shrewd messaging among members of the He-Man Muslim Haters Club. Probably because for one thing, it tends to turn people off, and for another, it's impossibly fucking stupid (so, a new French Hitler is gonna "take charge" by invading and annexing neighboring countries in order to exterminate their Muslim populations, or something? Good luck with that.)

    tl; dr: Obvious troll is obvious. And probably well under the age of 18.

  7. Well, I work with some, and I've dated one.

  8. If it ever comes to that, I am going to guess the gays and feminists will turn out to be a lot tougher than the fat old wrinkle bags of FR and the conservative right.

    As for moderate muslims, this morning's terrorist action has already been roundly condemned across the islamic world ... but I guess Rush Fatbaugh and the ditto head right forgot to mention that.

  9. ..roundly condemned.. lol that is all they do they don't turn in the culprits or go after them or turn them out of their mosgue...just anon condemn..while winking

    So?? walk down a European suburb spouting anti Islam crap and see what happens to ya.

  11. No amount of condemnation is good enough for you RWNJs. The fact that you even think that another Hitler is a good idea is reason enough to dismiss you as a kook.

    And as far as walking down a European suburb spouting anti Islam crap, how many European suburbs have you actually been to and personally experienced any negative effects of doing that?

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    I have been to Europe and you would not live spouting anti Mohammad stuff in muslim enclaves.
    ..but you can spout anti Christian stuff in the US in a church and nothing will happen o you except you will be shown the door or at the worst be arrested for disturbing the peace.

    You are all nothing but useful idiots for muslims..

    All the western country leaders came out yesterday condemning the attack in France but notice all the leaders from muslim countries were silent?

    ReplyDelete
  13. So you don't mean all Muslims, only the violent ones.

    Sounds similar to the rhetoric-cum-backpedal thing you do with blacks.

    You really enjoy brandishing a broad brush, but then narrowing it as people call you crazy.

  14. @anon1,
    Kind of the same way you wouldn't want to go through any black neighborhood, poor or rich, yelling the N-word?

    ReplyDelete
  15. So you think you should be able to yell the N-word around black people without any repercussions? That says a lot more about you than it does about me.

    ReplyDelete
  16. 1. What's good for the goose is a fallacy, not an argument.
    2. Cracker is nowhere near nigger.
    3. I agree with you that the extent of what's fighting words in a lot of Muslim communities is far too broad. But that does not mean it's mass deportation time.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Nor does it mean it's time for another Hitler.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Right. I'd forgotten about the genocide bit at the start.

    Yeah, explicitly citing the Holocaust's techniques approvingly is extreme even for about 90% of Freepers.
