Tea Party Nation leader Judson Phillips called on House Speaker John Boehner "to go" and be replaced by a "Tea Party Speaker of the House" in a blog post Wednesday morning, the same day that Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder of the Tea Party Patriots, said that her group was looking into the same idea.
"Now Boehner is in the process of surrendering again. He is surrendering not to [President] Obama, but to the status quo in Washington," Phillips wrote. "The House passed Cut, Cap and Balance, which would cut $111 billion from the budget. It would cap spending and set a good course for the future."
Martin sounded a similar theme at a breakfast sponsored by The Christian Science Monitor, saying that in a just-completed poll of their members, four-fifths are not satisfied with Boehner and nearly three-quarters would like to have a new Speaker of the House.
"Maybe we should see about a different Speaker right away," she said.
Philips was more strident in his criticism. "Boehner has no real interest in solving the problems this country faces. ... He worships at the altar of massive spending," he wrote. "We need a Speaker who is a leader. We need someone with courage and vision. Boehner has none of those qualities. He is not a leader."
Phillips urged readers to call their legislators and advocate for Boehner "to go" and be replaced by a "Tea Party Speaker of the House."

Well, I must say I have been saying this for several months, and they should add McConnell to that list as well.
Spine Boehner, spine. Believe me. You are running from ghosts.
If you stick to your guns, you will be hailed as the hero that saved our country. Otherwise, you will be know as the Pontius Pilate that caused America’s crucifixion
As a side note I think the democrats are not going to pass or sign anything, they are going to let everything crash and blame the republicans and finish the coup of America.
Who are these fools?
Boehner is right.
Add Senator Mumbles to the list...

I get 4 or so e mails from Judson every day. I agree!!
And take that ol fossil McConnell with you, Boner!
The bottom line is the gop needs to say STOP IT NOW! And then recess and go home to ticker tape parades.
I love it when all these self-appointed, unelected “Tea Party leaders” emerge and make pronouncements that are splashed all over the place by the press.
Second the motion. The bill passed by the House was actually very modest. Few of the things that really need to be done, like abolishing the Department of Education and the EPA. And it only goes a little way toward balancing the budget.
But at least it’s a start. Boner’s plan is very little different from Harry Reid’s. More spending, more entitlements, more power to the Communist/Muslim president, and basically nothing toward fixing the problems that have put our country on the road to destruction.
If it’s hard to balance the budget now, how hard will it be after another year of uncontrolled spending?
Otherwise, send Joe Walsh or Michele Bachmann to the leadership, immediately!
Spiked your tea?? Be real please.
Who the heck is this “JUDSON” guy who speaks for the “tea party?”
Speaker Boner is useless waste.
Default is imminent, and it was brought to us by both of our garbage political parties.
“How long have they been there trying to clean up democrats mess,by my figures it has been only around six months..”
How about six decades? The sad truth is, the Republicans know what they are up against. No matter what they do, the spin will be against them, that is just the way it is.
Question: I thought that the “tea party movement” has no leaders?
Besides, who can do the Speaker of the House job as far as GOP is concerned? Cantor, Ryan?
