I Wonder If Some People Want Their Vote Back

Posted on by

The Representatives who voted against John Boehner as Speaker of the House are facing retribution. This may be the way things are done in Washington, but I wonder if the people who voted for John Boehner consider this acceptable behavior.

Yesterday the Daily Caller reported:

Reps. Daniel Webster and Richard Nugent are both losing their seats on the House Rules Committee, Politico reported Tuesday evening. Both Florida Republicans voted for Webster instead of Boehner earlier in the day.

Such moves seem to contradict recent statements made by Boehner and his office.

Asked last week if any Republicans who voted against Boehner would be punished, spokesman Michael Steel told The Daily Caller by email: “Boehner has said publicly that there will be no retribution for ‘no’ votes.”

John Boehner lied to Marlin Stutzman (R., Ind.) in order to get the $1.1 trillion cromnibus funding bill passed (rightwinggranny). Now John Boehner is taking action against those who voted against him after saying he wasn’t going to. It is becoming more difficult every day to remain a Republican. I know there are good men in Congress, but unfortunately their numbers are few.
