I have no faith in a party
that cowers under feather light pressure from any quarter. These feckless GOPers in Washington are a
collection of Jellyfish that quickly sell out conservative principles at the
drop of a hat. Re-electing a disgrace
like John Boehner only reaffirms to the world that the Republican Party is dead
and the ruination of this country under President Obama’s policies has no
resistance in Congress whatsoever!
Only God can save the Republic! The Republican party is a non-factor!
The House
narrowly re-elected Speaker John A. Boehner
on Thursday to lead the chamber into the 113th Congress after a
rebellion among some fellow House Republicans fell short — though not without
drama.
Nine
Republicans defected, three didn’t vote and one voted “present” — which brought
Mr. Boehner
perilously close to having to go to a second ballot against Rep. Nancy Pelosi,
Democrats’ nominee. But he earned 220 votes, or three more than needed to claim
the speakership.
Mr. Boehner said
the new Congress,
like the last one, would be dominated by trying to lessen the debt burden that
will be passed on to future generations. And he said that will require tough
decisions by the members.
“So if you
have come here to see your name in lights or to pass off political victory as
accomplishment, you have come to the wrong place. The door is right behind
you,” he said as he took the gavel for the second Congress in a row
from Mrs. Pelosi,
who as minority leader by tradition hands the gavel to the speaker.
“If you have
come here humbled by the opportunity to serve; if you have come here to be the
determined voice of the people; if you have come here to carry the standard of
leadership demanded not just by our constituents but by the times, then you
have come to the right place,” he said.
