I have confirmed with a group of Congressmen that House Speaker John Boehner will not be reelected Speaker tomorrow.
He will either resign or be forced out tomorrow.
Only 17 members are needed to block Speaker Boehner's election tomorrow. A Speaker needs an absolute majority of all votes cast for a specific person.
If no one has a majority, the House is speakerless. I've confirmed these rules with the House Parliamentarian.
The Democrats love the guy. Who else but Speaker Crybaby could be more ineffective and on more than one occasion snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. The road to recovery for this country is no sure thing as long as liberals dominate the debate but having a clown like Boehner just continue to roll over for them is too much.

Dude, you really need to lay off the crack.
Those of us, sane and over 21 and paying attention, who were sober, not on drugs, and gainfully employed remember no such thing! Newt was the mastermind who brought about the republican majorities in both houses. It would be wonderful indeed to see Mr. Newt in the speakership again.
Nice us not a word usually used to describe her.
You should be thrilled with Boehner now that he has restored the top tax rate to where it was when Noot was Speaker. I really do not see a bit of difference in the two. Obama rolls Boehner just like Clinton rolled Noot.
dang I am already getting the feeling it may be cantor because the folks here do not want him
If you had a clue you'd get your head out of your a$$ and quit using movie slogans favored by the fatally hip clowns who also DON'T have a clue.
I submit that many are missing the point while arguing about rearranging the deck chairs.
The Republican party is run by an entrenched group that will protect it’s power at all costs. There will be no Speaker elected who will change anything.
The party is rotten within and is enabling decades of decline and possibly a major societal meltdown. This party hasn’t had the courage to stop the madness for many years, look at the record. We have passed the fiscal tipping point anyway.
Register independent. Your occasional primary victories in states with closed primaries aren’t helping either, don’t let those stop you.
Do this one tiny protest. You can still vote for any Republican you find worthy of your support in general elections.
The old ways are gone. You must scare the party by defecting until it changes direction.
Besides, you’ll really help screw the polling up.
Boehner is compromised. No question.
The dark side has something on him. No question.
Newt’s compromised. West and Palin are lightning rods, but have the guts to call a spade a spade.
Chaffetz.
Full bore Tea Party. Break the bank!
Gingrich may be the Speaker of our dreams, but how about the Representative who nominated him this time around - Gohmert.
Gotta love Louie.
May God guide our course.

I don’t want Noot’s solutions. I want someone who will implement a flat tax rate, actually cut spending, and defund/repeal Obamacare. Newt has shown that he will not do any of these. We need someone who wants to lead - not someone who wants to pontificate in front of the media. Noot is a proven loser.
