House re-elects Boehner as speaker over tea party opposition


WASHINGTON (AP) -- The House has re-elected John Boehner to be speaker in the new Republican-led Congress, despite opposition by tea party lawmakers that underscored party divisions.


The Ohio Republican garnered the votes of 216 GOP lawmakers as Congress convened Tuesday. That was enough for him to win a third two-year term leading the House.


But in an embarrassing slap, 25 Republicans voted for other candidates or voted present. They consider Boehner to be too accommodating and not conservative enough.


Their repudiation of Boehner was an awkward display of GOP schisms at a time when party leaders want to show voters that they can govern effectively. They want to show they won't be forced by tea party legislators into unwinnable, unpopular showdowns with President Barack Obama.



Tea Party is dying. McCain is purging them from his campaign committee. Dummy, he followed along with them during his first presidential campaign, including his choice of running mate.

I predicted this in 2010.

The Tea Party was merely a "holding tank" for Republicans which gave them a place to hide from the abject economic failure at the end of the Bush administration. They herded righties into a safe house called the Tea Party. Ron Paul started it as a largely anti TARP Libertarian group, and Fox News promoted it as part of the GOP's grand rebranding effort.

Righties sucked it up and hid there, till now.

The Tea Partiers are being shot and kicked in the ditch politically because they've completely saddled Obama with everything wrong in the universe, and now they are of no use. Hitler did the same with his brown shirts.

This was all preplanned

Thanks God he kept his post and a Wee tee partiers isn't in their running the show. Then we'd head for a pure plutocracy.

Which is exactly why Trey Gowdy called GOP voters stupid after the last election. Even after they were told by no less that their MessiahRushie after the Cochran primary that the GOP was just using them and if the GOP kept the House and took the Senate it would be seen as confirming Boner's plan to keep as many in the Tea Bag Brotherhood off the ballot as possible as the best way to win in 2014. Yet the idiots still voted GOP rather than stay away and defeat Boner's plan, and now Boner was rewarded for his successful plan.
SUCKERS!

RUSH:
They can't believe at TheHill.com that anybody would challenge Boehner.
And do you know why? Do you know why they can't believe that? Because if you read -- you don't have to go very far -- halfway into the story you find out at TheHill.com it is John Boehner who gets credit for all of the new House Republican seats. I kid you not. It is the most amazing thing. And these people think that they are a cut above, they're smarter than everybody else. This is their business, not ours. They know it; we don't. They're sitting in there and they're writing -- and TheHill.com is typical. It's not an outlier. They really think, why would these Tea Party types, why would these Republicans be upset with Boehner? Why, he just led to unprecedented victory for Republicans in the House.

RUSH: Yeah, they [the GOP] make a play at party unity, but as you say, it's a one-way street. They will not in any way, shape, manner, or form support a Tea Party idea or candidate. But they want the Tea Party to think so. This is the great trick that they're trying to perpetrate here. The establishment wants the Tea Party, even after this debacle in Mississippi, to think that they're in support in some ways.

November 03, 2014
RUSH: They've [the GOP] attempted to diminish and impugn the Tea Party to the point now we've got a Politico story, which says that the real thing the Republicans are gonna celebrate if they take the Senate is not taking the Senate but vanquishing the idea that the Tea Party is needed for Republicans to win.

January 06, 2015
RUSH: The Republican Party is doing everything it can to dismantle its own base, as identified by the Tea Party. It's doing everything it can to impugn them, to join the Democrats in mocking and making fun and to render their base, their own base impotent

Interesting take. Feed the lemmings to the lions.

Boehner was never in danger. Teaper propaganda and nothing more. They want to destroy the GOP...thank God the GOP took a stand today.

Just opening salvo on John...........time to do opposition research on every area of his life......every donor....every person he pays off every favor he collects

In addition to other disasters caused by the TPM, such as the sequester, the credit rating downgrade, and the government shutdown.

The TPM isn't dying, unfortunately, at least not yet; but republican leaders clearly understand that siding with the TPM is a losing proposition.

We're sure to see a lot more of the same from them. Its all they've got.

If we're very lucky, we'll get to see Cruz read another children's book.

The message that there would no automatic cave-in to Boner's "follow the Democrats" appeasement was sufficiently clear.

Boner is a sellout.
The Tea Party is just a group of citizens that want to end the massive spending in Washington.

For this they're called terrorists.
