OK then - where were we?
Ah yes - the fabulous Freeperati. (I almost posted a movie review or a recipe before I remembered what my gig is).
Well, them Duke tabagger boys had gotten themselves into a terrible fix with Boss Sob, or was it the other way around?
(caution - if you have an election lasting more than 4 hours, see a physician immediately)
First there was this:
Congressmen Confirm That Boehner Will Either Resign Speakership Or Be Forced Out Cybercast News Service.com ^ | 1/2/13 | Ron MeyerPosted on Wednesday, January 02, 2013 7:08:45 PM by drewh
I have confirmed with a group of Congressmen that House Speaker John Boehner will not be reelected Speaker tomorrow.
He will either resign or be forced out tomorrow.
Only 17 members are needed to block Speaker Boehner's election tomorrow. A Speaker needs an absolute majority of all votes cast for a specific person.
If no one has a majority, the House is speakerless. I've confirmed these rules with the House Parliamentarian.

tweet Republicans , tell them get rid of this creature or else we get rid of them

To: drewhIt won’t matter if the GOP-e just nominates another reliable RINO. It might be why Alan West was gerrymandered out of his district.

To: drewhI believe Congressman Louie Gohmert himself would make an excellant(sic) Speaker.
To: drewhThe fact that people are even talking about this means they are not
afraid of Bonehead.
The issue seems to be who will replace him.91 posted on Wednesday, January 02, 2013 7:55:31 PM by tennmountainman

There has always been something very womanly about him....Too soft-spoken to be feared by opposition....Even the picture on Drudge with Boehner which was the lead story today, he just looks like a, well wuss.......

What drama: Bachmann, Garrett, Blackburn wait till LAST MIN to cast vote for Boehner, bring the vote from 17 defections down at final second— Robert Costa

To: PerdoggPathetic. I expected better from Bachmann especially.
The Republican Party no longer needs my vote, evidently, so it no longer has to have it.

To: KevinDavisYou got that right...let us now throw Bachmann under the bus as a RINO.
Time to ask Doug Hoffman from NY-23 to form a new party!
The circular firing squad is in full force. Let the democraps have it all.

To: Lexington GreenBachman has betrayed the Tea Party. Like Fredo, she is dead to me.
Oh Lord. Get a grip. She is one of the best in Congress. We need her and just because she voted for Boehner does not make her a traitor. Big woop. Nobody would have fought the tax increase. Hell even Paul Ryan voted for the mess. No wonder we are losing everything. You are a “zero tolerance” type....Mr. or Ms. Goodie Goodie who has to have their own way. Well grow up and start supporting conservatives like the GREAT Michele Bachmann who I hope and pray will be our President someday!!!!

To: WilliamRobertThe smartest thing we can do is work hard at growing Tea Party influence.
To: Norm LenhartBut it’s getting closer by the day to saying to hell with it, and just living the rest of my life and watching it all burn.Most of the old guys, Vietnam vets and such are too old to do anything but take up space. I resigned myself to this outcome before Obama was even elected, because I could see exactly what was happening.
We have no where to go except home.
To: Norm LenhartFree republic is becoming a joke.
When I joined up here years ago, I was so inspired by the opinions of my fellow members. We stood for something and had convictions. Now its like a lot of freepers just go with the flow and spin and explain away everything that goes against our core believes. Very disappointed...
To: PerdoggThe fact that Michelle was one of the votes absolutely breaks my heart.
We are alone.

They are shimmering mirages in the desert. They give you hope, but when you come to it, nothing is there except thirst and despair.

To: exit82; newzjunkeyWhen did I ever mention the constitution party? I said our own party, a party for conservatives.The key here is "our own party". Because that is what will happen when each of us insists on the Highest Standards of Purity in our chosen political party --- we will realize that the only way to be completely true to ourselves is for each of us to create and play in our own POOP (Party Of One Person). We must refuse to associate politically with anyone whose entire set of political stands doesn't exactly match our own.
For example: Does your wife agree with you 100% on immigration, gun rights, taxes, govt spending, gay marriage, Big Govt, Big Labor, Big Green, defense, capital punishment, and the Constitution? But she mistakenly believes life begins at implantation while you know it begins minutes earlier at fertilization, making you more ProLife than her? Then NO WAY can she be allowed to join your Very Own Political Party Of One and dilute its purity! She must file papers to establish her own POOP.
Remember those ancient words of wisdom:
"Have you ever noticed how anyone who drives slower than you is a jerk, and anyone who drives faster than you is a maniac?"
That is soooooo true! Nobody else drives exactly like you do, therefore you're the only Pure Driver in the world; and never forget that! This same valuable lesson applies to Political Purity as well."United We Fall, Divided We Stand."

"But she mistakenly believes life begins at implantation while you know it begins minutes earlier at fertilization, making you more ProLife than her?"
Yeah, she mistakenly believes in the biological reality that implantation actually triggers pregnancy! The stupid woman actually thinks she has a clue about the female reproductive system!
(And it's "days", not "minutes", but I suppose I should give him credit for acknowledging that there's a delay between ejaculation and LIFE! at all, huh?)

Oh, Hilda. Even when Michelle was on your side, you were still alone.
By the way, does one of the tag lines up above make a reference to www.siameserescue.org? I'm astonished. This must be the first time a Freeper post has had a tag line that references an act of kindness instead of being stupid, mean and/or deranged.

Welcome back.
I'll ask the dumb question: Just who is the drewh, in the first item posted, that he has access to how the various House Memebers are gonna vote ?
I know the reich wing can have their delusions. But this sounds so much like one delusional person making a claim which gets picked up as "fact" by the conservative radio pundits.
Posted by: MapleStreet | January 07, 2013 at 18:11
That's why Tommy installed all those new bleach sprayers and pool filters.
What bravery. They waited until it was already decided, then voted with the winner.
or:And the new Freepathon is on. Up to 6%.
