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 can say it 100 more times but it will happen. He has lost support of his inner circle. Have you ever watched a school of sharks start a feeding frenzy?

Matthew 5:22

But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell of fire.

Don’t worry, the Republicans will be able to find an equally liberal speaker within their own ranks.

The qualification for the Republican Speaker of the House is someone who can go along to get along and must be able to be tricked easily by Obama.

I’m sure they will get a speaker that meets the qualifications cited above. After all, they got a real prize this last time.

No matter what they do, the republicans absolutely will not represent any conservative position or voter.

“Can you explain to me something? Why do Gingrich fans call him by his first name/boyhood name? Adult males are called by the last name. Gingrich is still called by his first name like he’s in pampers or something. He’s almost 70, isn’t it time for him to man up and start acting like an adult?”

You’ve been around a while and should know.

Also, Newt doesn’t have a lot of respect here, and deservedly so, for the reasons many posters here have said, and also for playing with the Whore Pelosi.

Please catch up to what’s going on. Newt has been out of favor here for about as long as Ann Coulter has.

Perhaps I misunderstood.

“He’s almost 70, isn’t it time for him to man up and start acting like an adult?”

Yes, but it’s too late. Newt reached across the aisle at least one too many times.

I would say an ex that got her man the very same way has little right to say doodly. Live by the sword, die by the sword. Besides the rumors were that what’s her name was out before latest came on the scene.

Publically or politically Callista has no record of being anything other than a conservative.

Either she needs to tone herself down a LOT or stay in the background.

Lastly, I am wondering where the heck it became necessary to drag one’s spouse into major national politics. First Ladies are best in a background supportive role, like Laura Bush.

I would love to hear the discussion in that room. Given the licking the pubbies have gotten under the speaker's leadership and the his failure to honor promises made, I find it hard to believe he could be reflected.

We’ll know in a few hours, but unless it is a very quiet coup, Boehner will be reelected. There needs to be a visible conservative campaigning and running against Boehner and there appears to be none.

I'll go one better - although I doubt he'd take the pay cut:

Tom Delay?

Works for me.

Personally, I’m more than ready for a Rambo as Speaker. I just prefer Newt’s savy, arrogance and smash mouth on the job.

I understand your reasoning, but many Constitutional scholars such as Mark Levin, as well as many before him, disagree with you. I was a rather young tyke when I first heard this discussed in the 70s, so it is certainly not a new concept.

Re. Alan West: The Speaker of the House does not have to be a current member of the House of Representatives.

Good luck with that!

West was defeated. Period. He will not be Speaker. The people spamming this board with that false hope would be better served fantasizing that a videotape of Obama and Reggie Love caught in the act on Air Force One will magically appear.
