Pro-amnesty, bailout supporting RINO Paul Ryan, a favorite of the GOP establishment, was elected as the new Speaker of the House on Thursday, replacing the outgoing John “Bendover” Boehner, who shocked the world by suddenly announcing that he would resign from his seat in Congress after pressure from conservatives in the House.
Ryan received 236 votes for speaker, while California Communist Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, the speaker prior to Boehner, received 184 votes from Democrats. Paul Ryan did not vote.
The nine congressman who stood on principle and voted against Paul Ryan voted for Daniel Webster (R-FL) and could act as a short-list of the most principled conservatives in the House.
Dave Brat (R-VA)
Louie Gohmert (R-TX)
Paul Gosar (R-AZ)
Thomas Massie (R-KY)
Bill Posey (R-FL)
Randy Weber (R-TX)
Ted Yoho (R-FL)
Curt Clawson (R-FL)
Walter Jones (R-NC)
