Lord of the Flies Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Ca. insists those who didn't vote for Boehner must be punished. Mr. Nunes: Elected representatives of the people don't belong to you or the Speaker. They travel to the Beltway so the people will have at least some voice against massive, coercive government force you obviously favor. You should resign or seek counseling

"All of us think they should have retribution"...
 
1/7/15, "GOP Tensions Escalate After Speaker Vote," National Journal, Daniel Newhauser

"Even if Boehner is keeping a cool head in public, it is clear that he and his allies are infuriated by Tuesday's public insurrection, and a larger backlash could still be forthcoming against the 25 members who voted against Boehner.

"I think the majority of the conference would like to see…something done with them, because they put the conservative agenda at stake with their wanting to be on television," said Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes, a close Boehner ally. "...They don't realize the speaker's not one of the guys who wants to do it, but all of us think they should have retribution, and it tells me how weak they are if they're getting up there whining about having retribution against them."

And Rep. Peter King said that if this had happened in New York state politics, the consequences might have been more severe. "Guys take on a speaker and lose, they're never heard from again," he said.

The calculation now for leaders is how to retaliate against the members without alienating more colleagues. The response could come in subtle ways, such as denying members sponsorship of key bills or suppressing their advancement on committees important to their district. The National Republican Congressional Committee could withhold financial support, jeopardizing their reelection. But any response will likely happen slowly and calculatedly so as not to create martyrs...

Still, punishment enough is that members who voted against Boehner are spending Wednesday in limbo, unsure whether they will be directly retaliated against, and even more unsure of the subtle ways their vote could come back to haunt them in the form of damaged relationships."...

LEVIN: The entire summer, while he was leading these reelection efforts, so forth and so on, he was working a backroom deal with Obama to pass to biggest spending bill in American history, and to fund every penny of ObamaCare. Do you know what the Boehner legacy is, Sean, in the last four years?  He’s been the biggest spending, biggest borrowing, most profligate Speaker in American history and that includes Nancy Pelosi. ""

=====================

Comment: John Boehner has never allowed a standalone, up or down vote to defund (not repeal) ObamaCare to come to the floor in the 4 years he's been able to do so.
 
Politico says Boehner doesn't want to defund ObamaCare because he says it's “the law of the land.”"...

Jan-Feb. 2015, "The Prisoner of Capitol Hill," Politico, Glenn Thrush, "Can John Boehner save House Republicans from themselves?" 
 
Page 5, paragraph 1:

"Earlier that year (2013), Boehner, this time united with Cantor, had counseled his conference to negotiate a quick deal out of the budget impasse before the government was set to run out of funding October 1. But then Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, the Tea Party darling, crossed the Capitol Rotunda to whip up the right wing of Boehner’s conference, demanding that any deal include a quixotic plan to defund Obamacare completely—another rebuff of Boehner, who had said that the health care act, while infuriating to them, should now be considered “the law of the land.”"...

====================

Comment: Devin Nunes is either mentally incompetent or dishonest and he desperately wishes we would shut up.
