House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) today dismissed the effort by a North Carolina conservative to declare his seat vacant.
Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) has no co-sponsors listed yet for H.Res. 385, which was introduced yesterday and referred to the House Rules Committee.

Rep. Walt Jones (R-N.C.), a Meadows supporter, told CNN this morning that Boehner “has used too much force to intimidate, and that is wrong.”
Meadows was temporarily removed as chairman of an Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee in June.

At his weekly press conference, Boehner predicted “pretty smooth sailing” going into fall.
“Listen, because America has essentially a two-party system, each of the parties represents a pretty wide, divergent set of views. And as a result, it requires a lot more effort on the part of the leaders to try to work in a — in a unified fashion. We just continue to work at it every day,” he said. “You’ve got a member here and a member there who are off the reservation. No big deal.”
“Listen, this is one member, all right? I’ve got broad support amongst my colleagues. And frankly, it isn’t even deserving of a vote,” the Speaker continued.

It only takes a spark to get a fire glowing...
No Bonehead, YOU are off the reservation.
Get lost Bonehead. Nobody likes you or respects you.
>>> “You’ve got a member here and a member there who are off the reservation. No big deal.”
See? Almost all your representatives are “on the reservation”. No big deal for them nor for the speaker himself.
Boehner is aweful . any republican that supports him need to be primaried.
Way to insult Native Americans there, Boner.
This tells me there are far too many ‘Republicans’ who will knuckle under for Boehner’s moderate position. You Republicans were elected to oppose Obama’s disastrous reign! Boehner is nothing but an Obama lapdog. STAND UP TO HIM OR BE REPLACED IN THE NEXT ELECTION!
He either doesn’t see what’s happening or he’s pretending he doesn’t. Times they are a changing.
Agreed
For Whom the Bell Tolls, Johnny....
Just the latest of the young wolves in the pack, there will be more....you’ve shown your weak in the wrong places
Why can`t the rebels simply agree to support the rat candidate for speaker if the rats agree to help oust Boner? As far as I`m concerned, Crats or Rats, WTF is the difference?
Nobody blurts out a lie. Boner just blurted out that there IS a GOPe reservation....at least in his and a few of his fellow cretins’ minds.
What he let slip by replying as he did, was that he thinks they still have enough stooges on the plantation that a few escaping is no big deal.
Sorry for the mixed metaphors.
And EVERY ONE OF US needs to email our reps telling them to support Meadows in this or they will be primaried....I just did
Well Mr. Crying Cheeto, if it is not big deal then
Bring the motion to the floor and let em vote!
They have no clue they’re going to lose the House & Senate in 2016. The base is fed up with the “you vote us in we decide” attitude.
Yeah, like we elect our Representatives to go to Washington and serve the king of the Hill on a reservation.
