Vanity: Who do you want as Speaker?

[ConservativeMan55]

If John B's out then ANYONE could become Speaker of the House.

How about Col. Allen West?

Or.. a more serious possibility.. Rep Louie Gohmert??

Where do we call to lobby the voters???

We could freep them!

[eyeamok]

I want Action, I want Fireworks, I want all hell to break loose in Congress, I want the Media in a lather everyday, I want Hollywierd hot and bothered forever, I want to see the left lose their collective minds on a daily basis, it makes politics fun.
I WANT NEWT GINGRICH as Speaker of the House

Tom McClintock or Trey Gowdy.

Allen West, Trey Gowdy, Louis Gohmert, Michele Bachmann, Jason Chaffetz and Tim Huelskamp would all be high on my list. But I'd take any member of the Tea Party Caucus.

This is a time to draw that line in the sand and stand up for America. If we don't we are no better than Boehner the deal maker, McCain the deal maker, Dole the deal maker, or any of the other beltway insiders who have forgotten about the citizens paying taxes for them to live like royalty.

I look at it this way. The election for speaker is an open race. Normally, the minority party doesn't boither putting up much of a contest because the majority leaders have been busy making their back room deals since election day. I'd like to see the Tea Party Caucus (TPC) bring this to a bare knuckle fight for power. I'd like them to caucus and agree on a candidate, then hold the insiders' and RINOs' feet to the fire.

I'd wholeheartedly support the idea of the TPC saying we vote for our choice, or we don't vote. That would open the door to the idea of democrats running one of their own for the position and the ball would be in the majority's court. Either they get together and elect a TPC candidate, or hand the speaker ship over to the minority party for the first time ever that I know of.

Showing America that there are members in congress with courage enough to stand up for our country, our constitution and our heritage is long over due. I think it would inspire a great following. It would also bring the debate over Tea Party values to the fore in the media and shed light on their lies about racism and all the other crap they spew about that people like Boehner, McCain, and even Romney would never dare to confront.

I actually got to HUG that MAN.

[Nuc 1.1]

I suggest Mark Levin. Articulate, knowledgeable, and passionate. He would be a perfect speaker and would be the left’s worst nightmare.

[SeaHawkFan]

Michelle Bachmann said she’d shut down the Department of Education. That’s good enough for me since she’d do the same with a number of other departments.

[re_nortex]

Louie Gohmert would be perfect.

I agree 100% and I'll link to my post in another thread where I make what I think is a strong case for Louie Ghomert, a plain-spoken, fearless Conservative Christian, a Texan and an Aggie.

Polk!

Time for a refresher...

Article 1
Section 2: House of Representatives
Clause 5: Speaker and other officers; Impeachment
The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.

I'll second your Tom McClintock. He'd wrap Obama into an intellectual pretzel and let him twist in the wind for all to see. All in McClintock's calm focused down to earth style.

Clint Eastwood.

[blueunicorn6]

Then, have an empty chair up front with Eastwood. Eastwood takes a Pee Wee Herman doll and puts it in the chair. Every so often, Eastwood pauses and says, “I wonder what our President thinks of that.” Then, he bends over like he’s listening.
“The President says he wants his bike back.”

Darrell Edward Issa. Republican Party. He was formerly a CEO of Directed Electronics, the Vista, California-based manufacturer of automobile security and convenience products. Since January 2011, he has served as Chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

Fast & Furious, etc.....

[ConservativeMan55]

Issa said tonight he doesn’t see Boehner losing his speakership. Which kinda tells me he’s supporting him?

Issa refused to say that Boehner has done a good job though lol.

[Redcloak]

A vertebrate would be a nice change of pace.

[Politicalmom]

Tom McClintock!!

Tom Price would be great, too.

[Intolerant in NJ]

Unfortunately Col. West was defeated for reelection by a white male Democrat - oh wait a minute - that can’t be......

[ConservativeMan55]

Doesn’t matter. ANYONE can be Speaker if they are voted in. They do not have to be a sitting member of Congress.
