Write your congressman.
This is the kind of power play that can be stopped by constituents.

The so-called leadership is tone deaf. Maybe they really don’t want to win in November.

Possible Rules Change Could Punish Boehner Dissidents Of course, the public vote on election day, could always go against GOP-E RINOs.

This happened to my Congressman already. David Schweikert was removed from the Finance committee after acting too Conservative. He has his Bachelors in Finance and his MBA, too. Boehner has been punishing ‘rebel Conservatives’ anyway. I guess he just wants to make it official.

This kind of sham will only serve to depress a portion of conservative
voters in the coming mid-term elections.

Even if the first proposal is adopted, Republicans would still be allowed to vote for anyone in those closed-door internal elections, during which members choose their leadership officials for the next Congress. But once a majority of the conference has voted for their candidate as speaker, that decision will be final. When the House holds its chamber-wide vote for speaker on the first day of the new Congress, all Republicans will be expected to support the party's nominee. Then why even have a vote if the outcome is expected to be 100% for the nominee? Venezuela style elections.

House Republicans are quietly discussing a proposal that could fundamentally alter the way future speakers of the House are chosen Kinda like changing the rules for electors in the 2012 RNC to favor Romney?

Not that this is directly related but the “conservative” GOP candidate for Maine’s 2nd district (Bruce Poliquin) is bringing in Boehner for a fund raiser. That’s worse than LePage (who I like) bringing in Christie. Twice no less.
To: HOYA97
I’ve been saying it. They are ridding themselves of us ... the Tea Party. This is to “keep us in our place”.
If it’s not a Tea Party Candidate, I will not vote for them. No more GOPe. And save that “I support harry Reid” BS. If you believe that, you are GOPe too.
To: HOYA97
Boehner already did that once, IIRC. Don’t know why they need a rule.
In the long run, it is all about not humiliating the crybaby.
To: HOYA97
Let’s not forget that the Speaker doe not have to be a Rep. Anybody can be elected Speaker. How ‘bout Allan West as Speaker?

Interesting concept. You can vote for or against someone for leader in the conference
but can’t do so on the House Floor.

The rule tweak began as an informal discussion but has morphed into a concrete proposal
that is beginning to circulate in the House. According to people briefed on it, any Republican
who votes on the House floor in January against the conference’s nominee for House
speakerthat is, the candidate chosen by a majority of the House GOP during its closed-door
leadership elections in Novemberwould be severely punished.
Specifically, sources say, any
dissenters would be stripped of all committee assignments for that Congress.
