Only 16 Members Can Unseat Boehner, Group Says
Breitbart.com/Big-Government ^ | 12/05/12 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 12/05/2012 4:06:39 PM PST by Fred

The president and CEO of conservative group American Majority Action (AMA) is demanding Republicans band together to fire House Speaker John Boehner.

“Speaker Boehner has been an abysmal failure as speaker, and his latest purge is the nail in the coffin for conservatives,” AMA’s Ned Ryun said in a statement. “Boehner has never won a negation battle with the White House or Senate—and he’s been nothing short of an embarrassing spokesman for the Conservative Movement. It’s time for him to go.”

Ryun pointed out, too, that if conservatives want to unseat Boehner, they’d only need 16 members to abstain from supporting him in January.

As I recall it Nancy Pelosi is a lot different than Boehner. For one thing she’s had so many face lifts she has hair on her chest.

That's only because the members stick together to vote for one of their own. I don't know if it has ever happened in the US House, but occasionally state houses get minority party speakers when some members flip. Would Boehner need a majority of the House, a majority of the voting members or would a plurality do it? If enough Republicans abstain, could Pelosi get that plurality? Or would some RINOs even vote for Pelosi just to smack down the conservative representatives?

Precisely, you all listen and make this happen. Demand a no vote on Boehner.

Sola Veritas~:” I think Paul Ryan would be a serious slap in Obama’s face and send a serious message to Obama....to “knock off the arrogance and deal...you didn’t win a mandate.”

I agree !
Also , 49% vs. 51 % IS NOT a mandate !
OBummer has gotten confused : a mandate is what happens in the bathouse !

Considering the way Boner's been stabbing patriots in the back for quite a while now, it would be best to destroy him now, and deliver an object lesson to GOP-E scum that they can lose everything, too.

Loyalty goes both ways.

You bring up some good points. Unfortunately, Boehner only seems to get tough with his fellow Repubs, and NOT with the Dems. Republicans always seem to be their own worst enemies. Here’s more about Boehner’s tactics:

Okay if you get your sixteen votes, Boehner gets 217, and Pelosi gets 202.

Now what?

When Boehner lovingly pats The Problem’s arm...he becomes one with, and part of, The Problem.

Get a real conservative, no more of this anti-conservative GOP-e nonsense.

Might as well end the masquerade now. Boehner must go, if he wants Pelosi, then ignore and mistreat the conservatives.

It is past time to make a stand!

Yeah Baby, the Real Men are finally standing up, Twinkie his ASS, he is not deserving of Speakership. I still think it would be a Hoot if they Nominated Newt Gingrich as Speaker, or How about RUSH?? E ticket ride for sure.
