HOUSE REPUBLICANS CIRCULATE PLAN TO OUST BOEHNER FROM SPEAKERSHIP
Brietbart ^ | 12,21,2012 | MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 12/21/2012 6:34:07 PM PST by HenryArmitage

Several conservative House Republican members are contemplating a plan to unseat Speaker John Boehner from his position on January 3, Breitbart News has exclusively learned. Staffers have compiled a detailed action plan that, if executed, could make this a reality. The Republicans, both conservatives and more establishment members alike, are emboldened after the failure of Boehner’s fiscal cliff “Plan B” on Thursday evening. Dissatisfaction with Boehner is growing in the House Republican conference, but until now there hasn’t been a clear path forward.

Good point. Perhaps formally they can’t do much but I still wonder if there is a replacement lined up or not? Without someone to step up and herd the cats all this is meaningless

Of course 201 Dems can vote for Boener, leaving the rebellion out in the cold.

It’s probably their smartest vote.

I don’t think he cares. He might even be glad if it happens.. Glad to NOT have to look at the evil monster . And be glad to not meet with the monster in person at the White Hut. He’s seen politicians come and go, so I’m sure he knows if it’s his turn to leave the Speaker position, then so be it.

Looks like its time for your boys to break out the Water Boards.
Mutiny is in the air. You and some others here did not see the backlash
developing against Plan B, I doubt u are capable of seeing the growing
backlash against these three stooges (bonehead, Cantor and McCarthy)
either.

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Conservatives!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

RINO Boehner NEVER understood that Democrats insist on two giant steps to the Left, then find some sucker like Boehner to vote with them in a Bipartiasan Cave-In, with the mumbled promise that the Democrats might consider, someday, maybe, to taking a slight shuffle to the Right.

Hence, the ‘Creeping Socialism’ from FDR to today, with the Democrats NEVER giving up ANY of their Socialist gains.

RINOs, such as Boehner are always proud to say “Well, we had to get something done. The American People expect us to get something done. We were sent here to get something done. Etc, etc, etc.”

BTW Boehner, we, your “American People,” are about as done as a flaming, charcoal-encrusted goose!

>>Since there are 233 Republicans heading into the next Congress, only 17 Republicans would be needed to unseat Boehner.

Another way to look at it is that Boehner only needs the support of 17 RINOs to keep his seat if the Dhimmi’s back him. It depends on how badly the communists want to keep Weepy on the other side of the negotiating table.

Long past time for the Weeper of the House to be gone. Spineless RINOs have done far too much damage.

Henry
Thanks for posting this article. Great read and doable plan.
I hope this doable plan gets put into action.

K-Street Money Changers and Trent Lott are pissing on themselves.

Makes you wonder what Pelosi could do as Speaker with the majority voting against her every time.

IF they would vote against her every time.

Oh and BTW, even though he was defeated in his last campaign...

The Constitution does not require that the Speaker be an elected Member of Congress, but no non-member has ever been elected to the office according to Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution states, “The House of Representatives shall chuse (sic) their Speaker and other Officers.”

Boehner had his chance. He’s great at some things. But being a conservative leader is not one of them.
