Boehner, Establishment Leadership Retaliating Against House GOP Rebels [+video]

The Kentucky Republican voted against returning John Boehner, R-Ohio, to the speaker’s job and opposed an effort by GOP leaders to avoid a standoff with President Barack Obama over immigration that threatened to shut down the Department of Homeland Security.
In the first three months of 2013, Massie reported $46,000 rolling in from tobacco, trucking, health care and other industries. During the first quarter of 2015, Massie has collected just $1,000 from political action committees, which funnel contributions to candidates from business, labor or ideological interests. That money came from the conservative Eagle Forum.
Massie and some other conservatives say the reason their business contributions have fallen is simple: GOP leaders are retaliating for their defiance . . .
Conservatives point out that leadership has targeted them before, and they cite Boehner’s removal of some rebels from coveted committee assignments. In March, an outside group allied with GOP leaders ran radio and Internet ads accusing some House Republicans who opposed efforts to end the Homeland Security impasse of being “willing to put our security at risk.” (Read more from “As Contributions Fall, House GOP Rebels Blame Party Leaders” HERE)

Boehner may hold the upper hand now, but I predict the real retaliation will be by true conservatives.
I for one am tired of RINOs ignoring the will of the people. For example, Jeb Bush has a set of brass ones to run pro amnesty after the 2014 election.
Fondling hands
Bipartisan agreement… that is when the Democrats and RINOs agree to slightly remove their fondling right hands from each other’s front pants pockets, under the table, so they can reach further with their left hands to lie to, control, fleece and screw the American public with bigger government and more control over everything we do.
Meanwhile the lame stream media throws a blanket over their laps to hide all the hand jive.
The snakes of the GOP (so called) leadership is rearing its ugly head, their attitude as stated by a former presidential candidate “team player, go along to get along” times up for those of the Boehner sect and the McConnell folks, no more of this should be tolerated.
Next election, we should throw their collective asses under the conservative bus like they have done to us and those that are really following their elected mandate.
