“During my years here when I voted, I had the eighth most conservative voting record in the Congress. ...And it does pain me to be described as spineless or a squish.”Got it? He's not spineless. You should know this now, because he told you. Oh, and he's not part of the GOP establishment, either!
“And I tell you what pains me the most is when they describe me as the establishment. Now, I’m the most anti-establishment speaker we’ve ever had. Who was the guy that got rid of earmarks? Who's the guy who believes in regular order? Me. Who believes in allowing more members to participate in the process from both sides of the aisle? Me. I’m pretty comfortable in my own skin and I’m going to do my best to show all of our members, Democrats and Republicans - and those members who voted against me - that I’m up to the job I was given.”So remember, everyone. When you see a terrifyingly tan John Boehner give Nancy Pelosi a creepy kiss on the cheek; you're witnessing the actions of a tough, not-squishy, not-spineless, anti-establishment conservative.
