Opposing John Boehner for Speaker Could Come With Repercussions

Conservatives planning to buck the status quo and oppose the reelection of John Boehner as House speaker have received a warning shot. Sources on Capitol Hill say dissenters could be stripped of their committee assignments should they fail to support the two-term speaker.

There haven’t been any public challenges to Boehner, though reports have surfaced that Republicans who vote against him on the floor would be punished.

The process will play out after the Nov. 4 midterm elections when the Republican conference holds a closed-door vote for majority leader, majority whip and conference chair. Those roles are currently held by Kevin McCarthy of California, Steve Scalise of Louisiana and Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington, respectively.

Republicans will also select a nominee for House speaker.

When the 114th Congress convenes in January, all 435 House members will gather to vote publicly for speaker.

 House Republicans have issued a warning shot to conservatives, who could face consequences for voting against John Boehner.

To dissuade conservatives from opposing Boehner, congressional Republicans are reportedly discussing a rules change. As first reported by National Journal, Republicans are threatening to “punish” lawmakers who buck the conference’s nominee before the whole chamber.

Conservatives buck the leadership, THEY WILL BE PUNISHED!! Moderates buck the leadership and vote with the democrats, why that's just fine.

Larger repercussions for the country keeping Boehner as speaker.

Just a replay of what happened before. This asshat is going to be the speaker as he was before so we get more the the same: ruminations from a drunk.

[Sgt_Schultze]

Then what is the purpose of a vote? Isn’t the proper word coronation?

[Arm_Bears]

Boner should keep in mind that a man who has nothing to lose is a very dangerous adversary.

...Republicans who vote against him on the floor would be punished

Those who vote FOR him will be punished in the next primary election cycle. We are far from done cleaning out the Augean stables of RINOism. Those who self-identify through supporting Boehner will be the next targets.

The only time this douche bag gets tough is when he is fighting conservatives! The rest of the time he is Obama’s fluffer

[mcshot]

Agree! Bye Bye Boner for the good of our Republic. Many need to leave with him.

[drypowder]

if bonehead remains as Speaker one can bet obozocare isn't going away

[Author Mike Carnegie]

Better to rebel against Boehner than to sell out. History will not look kindly at the GOPe quislings.

F John B. Move aside and allow the party to move forward.
The only one who would be sad or crying to see him gone would only be John himself.

NO MONEY, bleed them till the old guard steps aside.
Also pester companies that hire political turds by activating actions against companies that would hire them in retirement.
