Ron Meyer Jr., spokesperson for the activist group American Majority Action, Appeared on MSNBC with Martin Bashir where he said that he is hearing rumors form reliable sources that House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) will resign the speakership tonight.
“We need a new Speaker,” Meyer said. “There are serious rumors that at the conference tonight, at 5 o’clock, John Boehner will announce to the conference that he is resigning as Speaker of the House.”
Bashir said he found that hard to believe, to which Meyer replied that he also found it unlikely. Bashir pressed and asked if there was any evidence to back this up or a candidate who is seeking to replace Boehner as speaker. Meyer replied that he thought Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA) was spearheading this “coup,” but had no evidence to back that up.
“I’m not going to name names, just watch tonight,” Meyer said.
I heard JimRob wants to nominate Romney....
hehehehe.....
Well,,,,,,, It’s 7:15.
Soooo soon?
(snark)
I think I’m going to cry. Bye!
That’s the biggest risk of getting banned I’ve taken.
but, it was too good to pass up.
With Meyer essentially stating here that even he doesn't trust his own source, it's a safe bet that nothing's happening.
lol.... will not happen
It would be the honorable thing to do.
and the media will go crazy praising him for sacrificing his Speakership to thwart the “mean conservatives” on the ‘Fiscal Ckiff’ LOL!
Oh, the scripts the media has...
The time is nigh, this could be series.
So how "reliable", then, are these sources?
Since it doesn’t have to be a sitting Legislator, somebody should nominate Allen West. It’s kick ass time and there would be none better unless Sarah would agree to do it. But, of course, it’s not their “turn”.
Why couldn’t he have resigned last night??
Well, since its way...........past 5pm so....
bump!
5-7PM eastern?
(HOWEVER, Breitbart is reporting the same, so there is a faint glimmer of hope!)
I’d rather see Boehner horse whipped.
