A different speaker isn’t going to make one damn bit of difference.
Do you know what you are talking about? Why did you say what you said?
That you, John? Or one of your K Street lobbyists?
Thank U !
We need to drive this K street scum and cantor and mccarthy and all
His pawns from power !
So what will make a difference?
It is about damn time!
Sounds good to me. A good shake up might be what is needed to get Boehner’s attention. It it were to be batted around between now and the swearing in of the new Congress in January, it just might make a huge difference in his attitude now toward those who truly give a darn and care about achieving what they were sent there to do!!
Boner should’ve been gone after the first tear fell. If he wants to cry he can do it in a support group for wussies.
If Boner is removed watch all the rinos caucus with the democrats. Hell, they may even switch parties.
Don’t talk about it. Just DO it.
hahahaha, was that slip? rofl That is so funny, and appriorate. lol
bttt
rofl, sure glad you didn’t add Boner to that. rofl.....
I just sent this to my representative Frank Lucas:
Mr. Lucas, I think this is the first time i’ve taken the time to write my elected representative in congress. However, I am what you might call a political junkie. I stay informed on issues through the internet... NOT cable news (which i cancelled over 2 years ago with no regrets) I very much like your voting record that I’ve seen so far through this website. I should spend more time here instead of on the political news forums. Shame on me for not being more involved. Obviously the election results and current events in congress has my blood boiling, and you are my representative... so here goes: I WANT SPEAKER BOEHNER GONE!!!! His attack on fiscal conservatives by removing them from key positions to further enable his cowardly cave-ins to the democrats is inexcusable. I’m Sick and TIRED of seeing him as the majority leader. He is doing the republican party NO FAVORS! We need fighters in Congress. I am dead serious about leaving the republican party for the conservative party if the GOP doesn’t start growing a pair. If Boehner remains, I’m gone! Thank you

Second, Boehner let Obama into a debate that should have stayed between the House and the Senate, giving Obama a national stage for him to "look Presidential" at a time when he was looking weak and on the outside.
Third, as Boehner was beginning to go wobbly on his resolve to play hardball with Reid and Obama, the Republican base was forcing Boehner to take a hard line. Then, out of nowhere, Mitch McConnell offers up his Senate compromise of giving Obama the power to raise the debt limit subject to Congress voting to veto it. McConnell pulled the rug out from under Boehner for what gain, to appear bipartisan? to appear statesmanlike?
All McConnell did was show how the Republican party does not coordinate tactics, or message, or anything else in a strategic way. Republicans act as if they are all independent players acting on their own motives.
As long as we allow "leadership" like that to continue, Republicans will never win again. Boehner is taking a harder stance with his fellow Republicans than he takes with Democrats. Didn't we just see that with the Primary Romney vs. the General Romney?

I suspect that Paul Ryan is situated to become the next speaker, assuming that Boehner is deposed. He seems to be the economic “idea man” for the party, and was good enough to be chosen as a VP candidate. Plus, Boehner has not treated him as a threat, at least that we know of.
Since by his latest action, Boehner created 4 of the 16 votes to depose him, the other 12 (or more) are where the head counts are going to be made. No doubt there will be some serious “horse trading” going on.
But there is not only very little that the leadership can offer, but they made some enemies in the last election, and this would be serious payback.
