Today, members of the U.S. House of Representatives elected Ohio Republican John Boehner to his third term as speaker of the House.
Boehner won 216 votes of the 408 votes cast.
The nominations for the top House post from Republicans were Boehner, Ted Yoho and Daniel Webster of Florida and Louie Gohmert of Texas. Democrats nominated Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California.
“As speaker, all I ask is that we disagree without being disagreeable,” Boehner said after being elected. “It’s a real work. It’s a grind. The battle of ideas never ends and frankly never should. We Americans never quit. Let’s once and for all prove the skeptics wrong.”
We Americans never quit. No you don’t quit, you just capitulate. Loser!@#0
