House Conservatives Have the Power and Should Depose Speaker John Boehner
redstate.com ^ | 12/16/14 | Erick Erickson

The “cromnibus” bill is soon to become law. The majority of House and Senate Republicans conspired with President Obama to fund his executive amnesty. Where do conservatives go from here?

Yes, we need to pick up the flag and force Republicans in February to actually fight as they are now promising when funding for the Department of Homeland Security expires, but there is an even more important intervening event that must draw our undivided attention.

The vote on whether Rep. John Boehner will be Speaker will occur in January, and 30 conservative House members can deny him re-election. It will be an actual public vote—not a behind-the-scenes, paper ballot vote. Although many would have you believe otherwise, Boehner has not yet been elected Speaker for the new term. House Republicans elected him as their nominee for Speaker in November, but the full House of Representatives needs to vote on his nomination in January.

House conservatives must summon the courage to oppose Boehner’s nomination on the floor in January. It is a moral imperative. You cannot consistently complain about Leadership’s many failures—and the treachery involved with a Speaker fresh off a successful wave election conspiring with President Obama to fund amnesty and enjoy a celebratory phone call in the aftermath—and then vote for him to continue in this role. To paraphrase Albert Einstein, that is the definition of insanity, and it is enabled by a vote for Rep. John Boehner

Since 2009 he has been promising that any bill coming to the floor would be put on line for three full days so voters could see what's in it. He has never done it once!

Dumping the liar John Boehner would be one of the best things the party could do for the country. Next best would be replacing him with Allen West!

Never trust a man with a year’round tan. He’s a liar and a drunk. Bye Bye Boehner!

Can you even find 30 good men (or women) in the House to do this though? That’s the big question.

AMEN! Corruption, cronyism, lack of character, and most of all a lack of support for our historic USA culture and traditional American values defines Boehner. Cantor was even worse.

Republicans have become puppets to big global bankers and business instead of conservatives that support Americans and family values. The GOP has become a Globalist Corrupt Corporate Party that has no resemblance to a conservative Party. The same thing happened to the UK, Australia, Canada, etc. Former conservative Parties became Global Corporate Parties that line up to sell out their own citizens.

Never trust a man who hiccups when he talks, must be belching up those martinis he had for lunch.

Firing Boehner is more important than the midterm election, because if he stays as Speaker the election was all for not.

getting rid of Boehner would require breaking

Reagan’s 11th commandment: Thou shall not speak ill of a fellow Republican.”

Thought it was stupid then, it’ll probably kill us now.

they won’t do it.

In order for Beohner to go, we need to stack the place with more conservatives that aint on the DC bottle.

And Keep yer powder dry or it will never happen.

Maybe we need to beat the BC drum some more /s

ABSOLUTELY!!!

The ENTIRE House leadership needs to be purged right now! The voters of Canter’s district were wise enough to do it themselves! The same should be done in the Senate.

They should make Senator Inhofe the Majority Leader!

Let me guess how the DHS funding fight will go.

Pukes: “We will stand firm against Obama.”
Obama: “ Republicans want to shut the government down and let illegals cross the border.”
MSM: “Cruz wants to shut the government.”
Pukes: “We will get Obama at the budget figHt in October.”
FReepers: “Cruz in 2016.”

We’ve got to make our voice known to our Representatives. Sadly, I have an Obama clown clone drone in my district so have no representation.
