WASHINGTON – One of the tea-party leaders in Congress believes the days of Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, as speaker of the House of Representatives are numbered.
Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, told WND he predicts Boehner will no longer be speaker “by next January,” regardless of the outcome of the midterm election in November.
The Texan doesn’t think it will take a coup to remove Boehner, believing the tide is already moving in that direction, and saying, “I think people are ready for a change.”
And Gohmert would see that as a change for the better, because, he says, “We’ve got to have someone who is smart enough to realize” it was (Sen. Majority Leader) Harry Reid (D-Nev.) who shut down the government, not the GOP.
In addition to predicting the downfall of Boehner as speaker, Gohmert also told WND:
* He believes the majority of GOP voters have tea-party values
* He approves of GOP primary challenges to establishment incumbents by conservatives
* He suspects the establishment GOP is at war with the tea party because of “fear”
* He feels it is realistic to believe a tea-party candidate could win the presidency

I say Louie should be appointed as Speaker of the House. He’s a true conservative AND he ticks off libeals all the time.
Woo-Hoo!
GO Louie!!
He is correct, the typical GOP voter has Tea Party values.
Voters in this country have Tea Party values, or Socialist ones. The ones who hold the values of the GOPe can all fit in one ballroom where the Chamber of Commerce holds cocktail parties.
Gohmert is one of the good guys.
Gohmert as Speaker and Gowdy as whip?
That’s good news. I just hope we are still united states by then.
Good Riddance, Bonehead! Not a second too soon.
That is so like, 5 years ago.
Good but...... Why wait so long? LOL.
Good news, however, if his replacement is Cantor, we’ll get more of the same.
Louie Gohmert nails it! Replace Boehner and other GOP-e leadership.
Rove can GTH.
He sure is. Louie Gohmert is a true Christian, a genuine Conservative, ex-military, former Aggie and a native Texan (Pittsburg -- without the 'h'). Plus I hear he likes Blue Bell.
I like this guy, a lot.
I agree
Probably likes Whataburger too.
What about Trey Gouty (sp?).
Yep, the RINO’s know their ruse is up and most of us see them for who they really are.
Best move the House could make. Dump this trash bag.
