There is a twist to this, that Democrats may actually cross the aisle to vote for Boehner, as they would prefer him to the other possible Republicans.
Democrats truly understand crossover votes, which they use in primary elections against conservatives, by voting for liberal Republicans and “faux” Republicans.
Paul Ryan.
No to Bonehead, Cantor or McCarthy!
Boehner should have the house pas a bill that both republicans and conservatives can be happy with.
Only the hose has the authority to originate this bill, and the House should not relinquish that constitutional authority.
Next, for speaker, conservatives should rally behind 1 candidate (I would prefer Lt Col West.), and inform the speaker that is where the vote is going. He can either get on board with the plan, or, risk losing all the chairmanships and to the Democrats.
Conservatives should hold firm - We can no longer stand for the the GOPe to be in a leadership position of anything. Boehner have proven to be the enemy of conservatives, and should be treated as such.
Gingrich!
I know the GOP-e will not allow this but there is no more qualified candidate.
Louie Gohmert of Tyler, TX would be a very good choice.
None of these candidates are well known which makes this harder. There can’t be three. There must be one. And then we encourage this candidate to run. If they won’t run all of this is futile. So a key factor in picking a challenger is who wants the job.
Tom Price.
“Tom Price, Jim Jordan, and Jeb Hensarling”
Any of these three gentlemen would be heads and shoulders above Boehner.
As a matter of fact, since Boehner is absolutely worthless how could it get any worse?
So, I vote for Mitt Romney.
Ron Paul, he says no to everything. *ducks*
Hensarling is the only name I recognize but don’t know how conservative or tough he would be.
Any help would be appreciated.
How about Darrel Issa? I wonder if he could still chair his important committee? If not, he could handpick his successor.
Issa would be great, IMHO. He seems to recognize what we are up against about as well as any of them.
Steve King, Iowa - MAJOR anti-illegal alien hawk! That’s why he’s the only person I’ve given $$$ to in the last 25 yrs!
Newt.
