WASHINGTON (Reuters) - John Boehner of Ohio won re-election as Republican leader of the House of Representatives on Friday -- 10 days after American voters turned over control of the legislative body to Democrats.
In a secret tally, House Republicans stuck with Boehner and rejected a challenge by Mike Pence of Indiana, an arch conservative. Pence had argued the party had lost its way in a year that saw it battered by the Iraq war, mounting federal deficits and congressional scandals.
sarcasm/ Yeah, House Repubs, that's the message the voters sent you: they want more of the same leadership that allowed scandal and earmarks and overspending and idiocy. /sarcasm. Sigh... time to get ready for President Hillary and a Dem Congress in 08. Stupid stupid stupid inside the beltway idiots. They got stuck on stupid. |
