Congressmen Confirm That Boehner Will Either Resign Speakership Or Be Forced Out
Cybercast News Service.com ^ | 1/2/13 | Ron Meyer

Posted on 01/02/2013 5:08:45 PM PST by drewh

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.

You vastly overestimate Newts impact on USA voters in the 1990s.

He was an ass back then, and he is still an ass today.

Will the “American Spring” happen this year or next?
I'm betting on next year.

Issa just told Greta Boehner would be reflected. Not sure it was a live discussion.

Riddle me this Batman, cuz I really don’t know how that would work.

If I drop kick my registration, spray kerosene on it and light it up? then switch to Indy.

Will I be able vote in the primaries?

Thanx in advance.

Newt’s ex-wife would definitely not call Calista nice. The affair began while Newt was married.

Hmmm, so what you are saying Gingrich is an egomaniacial celebrity? Guess your right. I miss Reagan. He was an actor, but not a fraction as narcissistic and self-centered as Gingrich. Gingrich truly is the Lindsey Lohan of the Republicans. Hope he becomes a Dem someday soon.

Elvis has done more to advance the conservative cause in the last 20 years.

LOL. You everyone has a personality conflict with New.

You are willingly denying his accomplishments???

You cannot be reasoned with if you are willing deny facts. But hey, you are entitled to whatever reality you decide you want to live in.

I like Trey Gowdy, not afraid of anyone it seems. A good match up to zero.

Trey Gowdy - He would be an interesting choice. Love listening to him speak.....wonder how he would be in organizing the Repubs. I could see him being able to handle the media.

If we're going outside the current House, how about Thad McCotter?

(Seriously.)

Cheers!

He lost Clinton, you mean. How do you Clinton power strokers think ole Bill & Hil’ felt in 94, Newt ushering in a majority House,after 40 years in the desert? How about when Newt introduced himself to wannabe Marxists on the democrat side of the aisle, by single handedly dogging Jim Wright out of office, you idiot. With his Ten Point Plan, Newt out shucked the master blabber in the White House, pretty much a first. How fond were the Clintons’ and their Lefty pals in congress of ole Newt, when he wrapped the budget around their neck and rammed Republican establishment types to vote as told and on time, and who despise him today?

I like who Newt’s enemies are. They live in dread of him. This includes all the useless Republicans. That’s a plus for us simple folk. Dream on.

This is all a bunch of BS unless it is known that someone will run against Boehner and solidify support behind them. Who is this mystery candidate that is going to get a majority of votes in the House?

My guess is this is just a setup to get Tea Party folks even more ticked off
