Boehner taking revenge on Republicans who voted against him as speaker

(snip)Boehner moved swiftly to boot two of the insurgents from the influential Rules Committee. That could be just the start of payback for the speaker’s betrayers, who might see subcommittee chairmanships and other perks fall away in the coming months.

(snip). The removal of Florida Reps. Daniel Webster and Richard Nugent from Rules was meant as a clear demonstration that what Boehner and other party leaders accepted during the previous Congress is no longer acceptable, not with the House’s biggest GOP majority in decades.

(snip)So consider the signal sent on both sides: Boehner faces increased rebellion from his caucus. But that rebellion may come at a cost. In short, a recipe for Republican discord.

Discord couldn't happen to a better group.

1. First they binged, and now they purge!!!

The Nail That Sticks Up Gets Hammered DOWN!!!!

Let that be a lesson to anyone else who thinks about stepping out of line....!

That drunkard Boehner runs a tight ship!

I think hoping for continued signs of discord might be premature. These jerks have to run for office every two years, and Boehner controls the money. He can turn off the tap if he doesn't like someone's attitude--and he's signalling that he will. They either have to eat his shit or risk disapprobation in a big way, to the point that their seat is at risk. The only way that discord could take hold is if a significant minority of GOP "rebels" (what better word for them?) with an ability to entrance the easily-led media goes rogue--and I don't think they have the numbers to sustain that kind of uprising. Two, or even four schmucks crabbing just aren't enough.

2. HAhaha! Nicely stated Madem.."Binge & Purge"

Thats a hilarious post.
9:42am and I am laughing. Gee thanks

You know they won't get it right after all the postering & uniting behind a few rebels believing They would be the new sherrif in town, & Boehner would be left crying in his scotch... (Gomert & his 3 votes)
I am predicting a clusterfk.

3. No one hates Republicans like other Republicans

they know exactly what each other is like. This new congress is going to be petty, hateful, vain, and massively damaging to America. Woot!
