The second consecutive rout of the GOP in congressional elections has already claimed one member of the House leadership.
From the Politico.
House Republicans were on course early Wednesday to lose fewer seats
than many of them had feared, but the Democratic wave of 2008 has taken
its toll on the GOP leadership anyway.
Florida Rep. Adam Putnam, until recently a rising star in his party,
surprised leadership colleagues Tuesday night with the news that he
plans to relinquish his post as the third-ranking Republican in the
House.
Putnam told Republican leaders of his plans in a series of phone calls
late Tuesday, then followed up with a letter to the Republican
rank-and-file.
Putnam’s voluntary departure marks the first Republican leadership
casualty of the 2006 and 2008 Democratic House victories. But it could
also mitigate the GOP’s post-election drama – a drama that already
seemed to be losing its punch in the wake of less-than-feared losses
for the party, at least in the House.
This pre-emptive move clears the field for prospective challengers such
as Texas Rep. Jeb Hensarling, an outspoken conservative who quickly
becomes the frontrunner for the post.
The move that conservatives would like to see is replacing John Boehner to clear the way for true conservative to lead them.

6 Comments for GOP House Leadership Due for a Shakeup
AMEN re: Boehner and the rest of the “reach across the aisle (LACK OF) leadership”.
Due to the deaths of the GOP and the United States of America this week, I will not be available.

“Never apologize, mister, it’s a sign of weakness”—John Wayne, chastizing another cavalry officer in She Wore A Yellow Ribbon.
We need not apologize FOR or TO the RINOs who sold out their country in the name of “reaching across the aisle” or for their own lust for power. Most of them have gone, done in by their lack of PRINCIPLES; they would not walk the walk or talk the walk, and this is what did them in. Democrats, who in 2006 ,lied to the electorate by running as centrists, then cowtowing to Nazi Pelosi, were, to their credit, disciplined, but equally as unprincipled.
There are websites cropping up, like http://www.rebuildtheparty.com, that are calling for a newer grassroots leadership that works with 21st, not 20th century, technology while harking back to the ideas and ideals of the Founding Fathers.
All of us are now committed to a forward motion, as King Hussein and his Clinton Cabinet look backward to restoring Camelot. The better mousetrap must now be rebuilt. They’re bragging now, but it ain’t over. The real world, its problems, and the people who cause them, lie in wait, patiently biding their time: it will come.
As Bette Davis said in All About Eve, “Strap yourselves in folks, it’s going to be a bumpy ride.”
The GOP got just what they deserve. If they had run a true conservative instead of a liberal the may not have been so soundly defeated. I’d like to see most of all of them , both parties , be kicked out nad many of them serve jail time.
America was born on July 4, 1776; America died on November 4, 2008. cause of death: General; apathy
on the part of the majority of Americans. We allowed the Democratic Party to sway:
1. The youth of America due to their gullibility.
2. The minority Mexican vote who were not really
up or informed on reality.
3. Greed in most of us that we’ll all reap huge
savings, get money back, even if the person
pays no taxes.
4. the blacks, based on race alone;(Now who’s
the racist?)
There will be even more of a racial divide in this country, and dark days are ahead.
Get rid of the bums. we don’t need anymore reaching across the aisle to these unpricipled derelicts.
