Agreed. Since John Boehner has proven himself to be a traitor to the Republican party by repudiating the Hastert Rule on more than one occasion, he must be removed from his Speakership.
But what if the anti-Boehner Republicans in the House are not willing to stand together to try to depose him and replace him with one of their own? Then the entire Republican House membership will be exposed as a corrupt group of snake-oil salesmen who deceived their voters into electing them on false pretenses.
But the fact that not a single House Republican has made the slightest effort to challenge John Boehner for the Speakership makes it appear that the House Republicans are, in fact, a group of frauds and traitors to their own constituents.
I AGREE with you so much.
Last February's betrayal should have had Boehner recalled. I assume the upcoming election could have been a reason the Republicans did not want a major intra-party war at that time.
But, they have no excuse if he takes this to the floor without a majority of Republicans supporting it. And to lock the incoming Congress into a bad deal that they can handle so differently once they have control of the Senate is to APPEAR to be sleeping with the enemy.
There is obvious justification for replacing Boehner, and there's a new Congress. Boehner's betrayal SHOULD open the door if some brave soul will step through it.
Well stated
“But the fact that not a single House Republican has made the slightest effort to challenge John Boehner for the Speakership makes it appear that the House Republicans are, in fact, a group of frauds and traitors to their own constituents.”
Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.
