Congressmen Confirm That Boehner Will Either Resign Speakership Or Be Forced Out
Cybercast News Service.com ^ | 1/2/13 | Ron Meyer

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.

Typical reply from the follower of a communist leader with an IQ of 70. Gingrich portrayed himself as an intellectual wile he wrote “history” but were written at the third-grade level.

Great reply. Here's a thought I haven't heard yet....

Suppose that the Democrats want to keep the ineffective, meandering, milquetoast Boehner as Speaker because it helps Obama and the Democrat Party to have him as their whipping boy. Then what's to stop House Dems from voting for him? They have a minority anyway - but they can't run the risk of a real effective Speaker emerging if the House Republicans want Boehner out. Is there anything that stops Pelosi from instructing House Dems to vote for Boehner and keep him where he is??

“Most of the Democrats will vote for him.
He will get a majority....”

Ouch. Probably right. *sigh*

Screw you, John, for screwing me over.

For me, it’s not a question of who, but what.

If there is a new speaker and that person doesn’t immediately draw up Articles of Impeachment and immediately launch major, non-stop investigations, then it’s just the same old Kabuki Theater.

The establishment is laughing as conservatives align themselves behind Cantor. Cantor is their choice and was given the green light to oppose the bill so conservatives would rally behind him.

That’s a no-brainer for the Dems. John Boehner was able to do last night what Pelosi has been unable to do for four years - raise income taxes and capital gains taxes.

I wish it could be Newt. He accomplished so much before as the speaker.

There's no one with that guy's intelligence and can balance many tasks to reform our government.

If it's Cantor, he will be weak. They all have to present this to go along but we are getting clobbered as the socialist agenda marches ahead. I don't care about the person's past or wife or other. Just get a fighter who does not give a crap what the democrat media says because the people will support that person when he/she does the right things. Stay with the basics. The person who does that will be the hero! The person needs to go on TV and make a pledge to follow the constitution and if they fumble, they promise to step down.

No one believes that the Chief Justice of the United States can be someone other than a Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court

Let's ask John Roberts about that!

Just cannot happen with this bunch of representatives. At least two years away from that happening. And even if O were impeached in the House, so what? Ask Bill how much that bothered him.

Cantor would keep it in the GOPe’s domain. Same old, same old. Where’d y’all think Cantor got his creds? Being a Tea Party radical? Hell no.

Hell no!

Mark Steyn could read me the phone book all day and I’d beg him to read the Greensheet too.
