Hugh Hewitt: What Speaker John Boehner should say at the Republican Party retreat

Hugh Hewitt · January 6, 2013 5:00 am

In this Jan. 4, 2013, photo, House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio, walks to a strategy session with GOP members, on Capitol Hill in Washington at the start of the first full day of business for the new 113th Congress. Republicans in Congress who took the politically risky step of voting this week to raise taxes now find themselves trying to fend off potential primary challenges next year from angry conservatives. These lawmakers wasted little time in attempting to deliver an explanation that would be acceptable to the tea party and the GOP's right flank, and, perhaps, insulate themselves from a re-election battle against a fellow Republican. They've started defending the vote as one that preserves tax cuts for most Americans, while promising to fight for spending cuts in upcoming legislative debates over raising the nation's borrowing limit.

Talk of GOP primaries follows ‘fiscal cliff’ vote

Thomas Beaumont · January 5, 2013 5:00 am

In this photo provided by the Office of the Governor of New Jersey, Gov. Chris Christie speaks at a news conference at New Jersey's State House Jan. 2, 2013, in Trenton, N.J. Christie, blasted his party's "toxic internal politics" after House Republicans initially declined to approve disaster relief for victims of Superstorm Sandy. He said it was "disgusting to watch" their actions and he faulted the GOP's most powerful elected official, House Speaker John Boehner. The Republican Party seems as divided and angry as ever. Infighting has penetrated the highest levels of the House GOP leadership. Long-standing geographic tensions have increased, pitting endangered Northeastern Republicans against their colleagues from other parts of the country. Enraged tea party leaders are threatening to knock off dozens of Republicans who supported a measure that raised taxes on the nation's highest earners.

Any ‘fiscal cliff’ bill would violate GOP’s ’72 hour’ pledge

FILE - This Dec. 20, 2012 file photo shows New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie listens to a question in Belmar, N.J. Florida Gov. Rick Scott, who made a fortune as a health care executive, long opposed President Barack Obama's remake of the health insurance market. After the Democratic president won re-election, the Republican governor softened his tone. In New Jersey, Gov. Chris Christie also has walked a careful line. Both Republican governors face re-election in states that Obama won twice, Christie in 2013 and Scott in 2014. (AP Photo/Mel Evans, File)
