“We have no plans to impeach the president. We have no future plans,” Boehner added.

Boehner should be voted out because he no longer represents the citizens of the United States, but the Corporations.
He supports Amnesty at the behest of the Chamber of Commerce over the wishes of the Citizens of the United States.
In short, he is a Traitor and should be treated as such.
Glad to see I'm not alone in wondering that. Though not just with him. There is a disturbing pattern of 'lack of candidates' succeeding to rise to the occasion, as well as those seemingly 'disgraced'...in addition to those that act like Boner.
This is typical of the inchoate reasoning of so many conservative absolutists.
(I define absolutists as anyone who thinks someone is a RINO if they don’t agree with the absolutist position 100%. And of course every absolutist has their own standards for setting the bar on what is a ‘true’ conservative)
The same people who would vote Boehner out would also prefer that non-absolutists candidates for the Senate lose(example: Senators like McConnell, Cornyn, and Pat Roberts)Of course that would only extend the Dems power in the Senate on appointments.
This would insure that the impeachment would never approach the requirement for 66% of the Senate vote for conviction.
And another failed impeachment would destroy any chance that the country would turn more conservative before the Democrats have a chance to further, and perhaps irrevocably, destroy the country in the future.
It’s all well and good to stir up anger with arguments like “he only supported conservative issues 85% of the time,” but actually taking over control of the levers of power by elections is more difficult than rabble rousing.
Fortunately, the voters in his district don't vote for speaker...your and my congressmen vote for speaker.
Mine has never voted for Boehner.
If I had enough influence, I would recommend the following:
If we are confident we will have ample majorities in both houses, vote against Boehner and McConnell. Let the dems have those two seats in trade for blocking the GOPe’s puppets from controlling legislation. The houses could still install yet another GOPe puppet -or- they could vote for a more conservative majority leader. I’ll take that coin flip as we can’t do much worse than another Boehner/McConnell and we could do *much* better.
If we are **NOT** confident we will have ample majorities in both houses, then re-elect Boehner and McConnell and pray that enough tea-party/conservatives are also elected to thwart the GOPe string-pulling.
FYI, Smedley Butler was a far left socialist.
Given that Smedley Butler was a near-commie, this poster might be some kind of absolutist, but not necessarily the conservative kind.
Impeaching Obama would be massively counter-productive. All it would do is let him play the “attacked by GOP” card, and there’s no way the Senate convicts him.
The only way Obama is impeached is if the Democrats lead the charge.
I'd be just as happy if Boehner keeps his HOR seat and suffers the humiliation of losing to a real conservative for speaker. If they wimp out again, we know the whole HOR conservative thing is a fraud and they're playing us.
I had no idea that Smedley Butler was a real person. Upon investigation he is an unusual fellow indeed.
He was a two time winner of the Medal of Honor who became less than enamoured of war and wrote a book alleging that business interests were responsible for much of the gunboat diplomacy he had enforced during his career.
I wouldn’t call him a ‘near commie’ but maybe a military prototype for Ron Paul.
