...Rep. John Boehner has just been elected as the next Speaker of the House by the Democrats. Conservatives had mounted a campaign to block his election, and although they did get the 29 votes necessary to block his election, absentee Democrat members of the House who did not cast votes shifted the requisite number of votes Boehner needed by a sufficient number to give him another term.

John Boehner is the best friend Obama has in the GOP, and he has done his dead-level best to make sure Barack Obama has gotten everything he wants; the last thing the Democrats wanted was for a Conservative to be elected Speaker. They knew that someone like Louie Gohmert would bring all of that to a screeching halt, and chose instead to do their part in electing John Boehner to a new term of office. The vote has been taken, and the merger of the Democrat and Republican parties has been consummated and it looks as though Republicans were the ones on the receiving end. The question we must all now ask ourselves is, are you a Republican or a Conservative? You can no longer be both. My decision has been made....
