The GOP can spare one House seat in 2014 election, and what better seat to lose than Boehner's? This would send a message to the RINOs that they are unwanted in leadership positions and that just because they survive their primaries due to big piles of money, that the Tea Party can still reach out and touch them in the general election and bump them out of leadership roles if they won't resign them.
This of course means that Republicans in Ohio's 8th Congressional District would have to vote for the Democrat (Tom Poetter). The 2014 election is looking like it will be a Republican blow out, and if Boehner is defeated, it will be obvious that this was done by conservatives and the Tea Party and it will send a message.
This is something we can do and should do. Defeat Boehner in the general election and send a message to the GOP that we want the border closed to illegal aliens and ebola and that we want Obama impeached.
Boehner should be voted out because he is spineless.
Unfortunately, I fear that the majority of voters in his district are too proud of the fact that their rep is the speaker.
That is the mentality that is destroying our nation.
Comrade obama may need Boehner to protect him from demRats.
Welcome to FR.
No.
Boehner should be voted out because Boehner is bad for America. Failure to impeach a lawless dictator is only one reason.
No ones’s going to impeach President Teflon.
“Impeached” as in removed from office, or as voted on as a political statement by the House? The GOP doesn’t even have control of the Senate, much less 2/3 majority who would remove him from office. Removal from office is not going to happen, no matter how much we might wish it so.
The whole “leadership” of Both parties are like bile.
They just keep coming back up and won’t just go the hell away.
Worthless dirtbags all.
A lot depends on what happens with Ebola, terrorism, healthcare, and other wild card events in the US and how Bone-head responds. Public outrage is getting close to critical mass. This is Bone-head’s chance, and the campaign trail might revitalize him.
[But I doubt it. I suspect that President Ebola has goods on him as well as Justice Roberts. They are acting the way other GOP members did when the Clintons raided 900 FBI files.]
Yes
And impeachment...get over it...it will never happen.
He’s incompetent.
That would be a hat-trick for the TEA party. Cantor, McCockle and Boner.
Boehner should be voted out because he no longer represents the citizens of the United States, but the Corporations.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.
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.
