Kansas Rep. Tim Huelskamp, one of the 25 Republicans who voted against Speaker John Boehner on Tuesday, says "My colleagues fully expect" retaliation for those votes. Which is good, because the retaliation against some of them has already started:
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.
Boehner’s allies have thirsted for this kind of action from the speaker, saying he’s let people walk all over him for too long and is too nice to people who are eager to stab him in the back. 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.
we are now seeing out front and personal the republican civil war they claimed didn't exist is now at least 2 years old happy birthday can we see the non birth certificate? i also wonder is this where Christie got the idea to gangster strong arm his political constituents hold what they want or have hostage if they don't support him? he ought to write a how to book for his party seeing as how his admin has been closed mouth about his involvement.

Beohner sacking up is kinda like a oxymoron given how every time he and Pres. worked out something he had to go back to the gangster faction of the party (the tea people) to get slapped down, so many tears so little progress. this is why it's so important not to let the opposition define so something Pres. failed at miserably and his admin seasoned politicians did nothing to pull his coat, but his remarkable achievements were virtually all his when your own party won't support you doesn't mean you are wrong just that they bought into the republican rhetoric and ran with their tails between their legs, all of whom are now staying home themselves.
