Tea Party takes a hit.

Did anyone actually think it would turn out different?

If so? I have some ocean front property in Arizona you may be interested in.

Too bad Pelosi didn't win

Maybe the House could actually accomplish something

TEA party didn't run a competing candidate, Captain Strawman.

So all that smack talk from yesterday bites it huh?

 

[TNHarley]

Pelosi needs to be out of gov't. Period

 

[Avatar4321]

Would have been nice, but didnt think it was likely.

 

[SniperFire]

Put your butthurt aside, conservatives.

Boehner didn't fight a battle he couldn't win last week.

We are in a much improved position now, as evidenced by Obama running off the Hawaii and announcing he was going to refuse to negotiate from here on out.

 

[Sarah G]

Not much else could be done. Cantor would have been a sideways move and they didn't have anyone else that could do it.

Pelosi would have been interesting with a Republican majority..

Tea Party HATES Boehner.
Couldn't muster the votes in the GOP to oust him.

Still drinking the Vodka huh? New Years is over. He went back to Hawaii to celebrate the "rolling" and one of your Repubs said this morning...man you are delusional...

They could muster the votes, they just couldn't justify ousting him with nobody else in the wings. A lot of people hate Boehner right now.

six other republicans received votes.
They couldn't overcome him.

Tea Party smack down.

 

[mudwhistle]

In what way was Pelosi even an option?

You'd think they'd push a repug, not a Dem.

Apparently these people you refer to, are NOT in the House.

Write-ins don't constitute a caucus running a competing candidate.

You can't possibly be so stupid as to not recognize this....Or are you?

 

[mudwhistle]

Maybe we couild record Boehner wishing Strom Turman was president.

He'd be history then.
