There won't be a coup. Too many of these congressmen were promised inducements, including committee memberships, to vote for Boehner as speaker. They are more afraid of losing their perks than they are of the voters.

We need to threaten Obama. If Obama doesn’t do what American wants, we’ll dump Boehner!

Hey! Stop all the “rumbling” or murmuring about it. Just do it. And if you can’t pull it off, get back to work and work with what you’ve got. Stop the “whiny stuff” ... LOL ...

“Stop all the “rumbling” or murmuring about it. Just do it. “......

I couldn’t agree more. It is time we had representatives who worked on REAL problems instead of all the back room deals, posturing and plane stupidity. The world is crumbling around us and these idiots worry who’s next chess move it is. Shut the hell up and get to work!!!!!!!!!!!

The man is feckless, probably compromised, and clearly unstable. He needs to be replaced immediately.

We don’t need to hear anymore bombastic rhetoric from these clowns. Enough of the empty talk. They need to put up, or shut up. Only results matter.

Does any one here really believe that John Boehner, or Mitch McConnell is running their fiefdom the way the people that elected them want them to? If you believe that, then I have a sea side property in Arizona that I’ll sell you, cheap. They got elected in their position with lies and subterfuge. It’s time for the real republican party to take their party back from these “ACCOMMODATING” republicans, whose only aim is to “COMPROMISE” with any one and every one.

Mitch and Boner lost when they funded the Obummer regime for the full year. They only had leverage when they could shut down the government.

Yep, the lame duck session was treasonous. On both sides.

DUMP BOEHNER,

With the recent revelations regarding SWORN TESTIMONY before CONGRESS from numerous Government OFFICIALS in the IRS,DOJ,... That are KNOWN TO BE LIES and the Speaker nor any of his lackies on ANY COMMITTEE have done Nothing but cover it up, If you believe the bought and paid for Trey Gowdy will do anything heading a “Select Committee” will do anything substitive, I have a nice bridge in Long Beach for sale. I think he should also be charged with CORRUPTION along with the rest of them.

If Boehner caves can assume ‘liberals’ have some serious dirt on him?

“Mitch and Boner lost when they funded the Obummer regime for the full year. They only had leverage when they could shut down the government.”

Shutting down the government doesn’t provide leverage. It has never worked and it never will. They passed the omnibus continuing resolution to avoid a shutdown they knew would be a disaster.

This is what, the third time Boehner has been challenged? How many will it take for him to just step down. His arrogance, like most “career politicians” is breathtaking.

We sorely need term limits. Article V. The term limits need to be implemented quickly. No 10 year phase in. Do it fast for our country’s sake.

Why are people surprised about this? Don't we all remember that Boehner tried like 5 times to cram amnesty through before getting slapped down by the base? He wants it, period. Executive amnesty means he gets to have his cake and eat it too because he gets amnesty without having to pass a bill.

He will fight like hell to get this through.
