That’s exactly what I meant. Call his bluff. Tell him he stops screwing them over or they hand his speakership to Pelosi. He thinks they wouldn’t dare do it. Let him call their bluff and see what happens.
It could not be worse to have Pelosi back in charge than to have a Quisling in charge. We ARE getting screwed over right now.
Basically, it’s the Third Party nuke option and it’s time to deploy it. Boner’s had way too many chances to shape up.
Ship the bastard out.
Do you think Ohio will really toss him out? Some States might, but not OHIO, being on the rustbelt edge, too many like Boehner’s goodies.
“Basically, it’s the Third Party nuke option and it’s time to deploy it. Boner’s had way too many chances to shape up.”
It is time for a third party. If there is a 2016 election Hillary Clinton will be elected. Women will turn out in record numbers to elect the first female president and the rest of the Dem base will be united behind her. Anyone who believe Rubio, the Cuban American, at the head of the Republican ticket will draw the primarily Mexican American Hispanic vote from the Republican Party is kidding themselves. In any even it looks like Jeb Bush is preparing (like Dole, McCain, and Romney) to take the fall for the party in 2016 in that the establishment knows no one can beat Hillary. I’m expecting them to run Jeb at the top of the ticket and Rubio as VP. This sets up Rubio for 2020.
Of course the RINO establishment will expect the conservative base to turn out for the Congressional elections and will once again tell us they are better than the alternative. However, since 2010 they’ve done a good job of proving they are not better than the alternative. Instead they’ve shown they are willing collaborators with the Dems.
The only choice for Conservatives is to form a new party, thereby splitting the Republican Party. This likely means Democrats in control of both Congress and the White House in 2014 and 2016. However, if the nation is going to have a chance to pull out of the down spiral, the majority of the people have to hold the Democrats accountable for the condition of the country. Due to the ineptness of Boehner, McConnell, Romney, Rove and the rest of the establishment, Obama, the media and the Dems have gotten away with blaming the economy and the malaise on the Republicans who are actually compromising at every turn.
Splitting the Republican Party may actually turn out to be a better thing than the current situation. Lets say in 2014 the Dems capture 49% of the vote in the House, the traditional Republicans capture 35% and the new conservative party captures 16%. Pelosi becomes Speaker by getting 3 or 4 RINOs to vote with the Dems. Now the Dems are accountable but Pelosi will have to struggle to put together coalitions with either the Republicans or Conservatives to secure majority votes. If a number of traditional Republicans go all in to help Pelosi, they’ll face strong opposition in 2016 from a real Conservative candidate.
Look at history. The Republican Party went from newly organized to winning the White House in less than a decade. In a decade a new Conservative Party can be built and offer a real alternative to Democrat socialism. The current Republican Party will never offer that alternative and the Bush/Romney/Rove power structure will not cede power to conservatives internally. The only hope now is for a third party.
When the only difference between Boehner and Pelosi is the speed getting to the end result of the erosion of my rights and the country’s sovereignty why let the RINO Boehner stay in charge?
