My title: My NC Senator is John Boehner's Worst Nightmare

Breitbart

[ElainaVer]

Speaker ’s worst nightmare is on the rise here in rural North Carolina. Senator Mark Meadows is gaining steam as a clearly coordinated, highly orchestrated effort to remove Boehner as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives—and fix a broken Congress that no longer represents the wishes of the American people—comes into much clearer focus.

The American people spoke on Election Day 2014 WRT
Washington's back-door dealing, and power consolidated in
the hands of a few House members.

The 2014 "Dem Demolition Derby" and down-ticket
state wins have yet to be fully- mined, but this we know:

<><> REPUBLICANS WON STUNNING HISTORY-MAKING ELECTORAL VICTORIES

<><> midterms were a massive and awesome rejection of liberals;

<><> Southern Democrats control not a single governorship, US senator or legislative chamber,

<><> Democrat losses stretch from the Carolinas westward to Texas,

<><> 110 Of 140 Southern States election districts went Republican.

<><> GOP's House majorities are so huge and solid NBC's Chuck Todd says Dems can't recapture losses until 2022.

<><> Some pundits say Republicans have a 100-year majority;

<><> when the next US Senate convenes, 30 lock-stepping Democrats who voted for Obamacare are gone.

<><> Ark and Ill (Clinton hometowns) have Repub governors---important in a prez race b/c guvs control party machinery.

<><> Unprecedented MINN 6th Congressional district---every single House and Senate district went Repub

<><> GOP now controls the MINN State House.

<><> Ohio's historic GOP statehouse takeover (Gun Control is toast)

<><> Ohio's Gov, Lt. Gov, AG, Secy of State, State Auditor, State Treasurer--all R---Sup/Ct - 6 R/1 D

<><> Britt Hume sez: "latino vote is zilch"---"over-50" is significant 30% voting segment.

<><> Republicans unified control: gov/legislature in 23 states (Ntl Conference of State Legislatures factoid).

<><> Repub governorships: Florida, Tx, Ill, Ohio, Mich, MD, Wisconsin, NC, GA, Mass.

<><> GOP holds every congressional seat in Arkansas; first time in 141 years...

<><> Environmentalists fogged out---suffered huge losses.

<><> Gun Control Candidates blitzed.

<><> "War on Women" became a ntl joke.

<><> Clinton's labeled politically useless---most candidates they flacked lost.

<><> Montana, So/Dakota and West/VA Dems were forced to retire; no hope of getting re-elected,

<><> Arizona House recount race went Republican.

<><> AZ Republican McSally wins last open House seat (Dem Gaby Giffords seat),

<><> Repub McSally's win gives GOP 5-4 advantage in AZ congressional delegation,

<><> Repubs hold 247 House seats (Dems 188), the largest GOP advantage since the Truman admin after WWII.

<><> 73 percent of LA's white voters say told they "strongly disapproved" of the president.

<><> Republicans hold the largest House majority in 83 years.

<><> Republicans holds 68 of 98 state legislative chambers.

<><> 2015 Republican grip on state government has not been seen since the 1920s.

<><> Republicans hold or share control in nearly every state (7 states' legislature and Governor are Dem-held).

<><> 12 states, including Missouri, Arizona, Arkansas, NC will push income tax cuts and fiscal reform.

<><> Illinois’ new Repub Governor’s top priority is reforming its nearly-bankrupt public pension system.

<><> Vermont Democrats allied w/ VT conservative Repubs to ward off voter backlash

<><> controversial and seemingly incompetent VT Democrat governor did not get the requisite votes to stay in office.

<><> VT poised to install Vermont's first Republican governor in over four years

<><> Republicans now control two-thirds of the state legislatures.

======================================

The Republican wave did not end in November 2014. Last week, Republicans expanded their majority in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives in the 170th district. Expanding a legislative majority in a blood red state that twice voted for Barack Obama.

Now you think it is funny to boot.

[wastoute]

I was wondering how a Senator could introduce a House Resolution.

[wastoute]

Boehner and McConnell will rue the day they let the Klown refer to us as “teabaggers”. I knew I would live to see the day all three of them wished it was only a tea bag they would one day gag on.

[FreeAtlanta]

John Boehner is;

"Louche, alcoholic, lazy and without any commitment to any principle."
- Sid Blumenthal to Hillary in uncovered emails.

[Liz]

Heh-—yep. Conservatives’ winning is gonna be hard to swallow. LOL.

[Calpublican]

We hope Boehner will soon have more time for his passions:

Alcohol, golf and Obama

[867V309]

...and can get past the yuuuuuge mistake I made this morning.

No soup for you   :)

[Calpublican]

“Louche, alcoholic, lazy and without any commitment to any principle.”
- Sid Blumenthal to Hillary in uncovered emails. “

And you know the Republicans knew all this when they elected him! Why? Why did they do it?

By that I mean when they elected him to be Speaker...

How is a Senator allowed to have any say in the affairs of the House?

[Soul of the South]

“How is a Senator allowed to have any say in the affairs of the House?”

Mark Meadows is the representative in the House for the 11th NC Congressional District. He has served in the House since January 2013. He is a Republican and defeated Democrat Hayden Rogers.

North Carolina is represented in the US Senate by two Republicans - Richard Burr and Thom Tillis.

The headline is incorrect. Mark Meadows is a “Congressman”, not a “Senator”.

[ElainaVer]

Soup Nazi . . or is it Word Nazi? lol

[ElainaVer]

Well, I might want ‘to boot’ a few commenters off this thread.

[ElainaVer]

It would be a stretch.

[ElainaVer]

Haven’t you heard? I made a big mistake in my posting today. It has been the talk of the thread. My abject apologies to everyone who has never been down a similar road. For those who have trod it often, as have I, I will try to do better next time and learn . . as evidently most of you have already done.

[grumpygresh]

Well, anything is possible today. The president can make laws via EOs, Supreme Court can rewrite God’s law.

Yes, we still have a Senate and House. But, the pretty much function like they did during the reign of the roman emperors.

[CPT Clay]

The List... Bump

[bert]

democrats will vote for Boehner and he will prevail

there is inadequate support for the coup to prevail

[contrarian]

Many in Caldwell County support removing the drunk cheeto so we can get about the business of removing the stain of gop-e and democrats (though I am being redundant here).Hang in there elainver ..
