RE: GOP Leaders: Allen West for Speaker of House!
How does that happen when West just lost his election?
How can 20 members do that?
I’m not so sure Boehner has done anything so wrong under the circumstances, it appears McConnell put through something worse than Boehner’s “Plan B”.
But Boehner is an awful public persona for the party, no personality, no ability to win a PR war with Obama.
At least 20 House Republican members have gotten together, discussed this and want to unseat Speaker Boehner -— and are willing to do what it takes to do it, Meyer said. Thats more than enough to get the job done, but the one problem these guys face is they need a leader to coalesce behind.
So these 20 conservatives are so spineless that none of them will step forward as a leader? This goes no where.
I think ther are enough Democrats willing to go for loser Boehner
How sad. Bone-wad is the Speaker of the House. And he’s about as good as there is.
The job of the Speakership is not dependent on being a sitting representative. It can be from within the ranks or outside the ranks.
boner cut the original deal with reid, pelosi and obama behind closed doors... when he lied to us and said Cut, Cap and Balance was the ONLY plan on the table. He is a coward, a drunk, a liar and a progressive.

I understand that the Speaker of the House does not have to be a member.
Because the rules state anyone can be the speaker. They do not have to be a rep.
If true, then why did Pelosi relish it so much?
No, Boehner's troubles stem squarely from his propensity to fight Conservatives harder than he fights Obama and the Rats.
You’re right and should he resign, he’ll CRY while doing it....LOL.
Happy, healthy, hopeful, and very prosperous New Year to you and your precious family, my dear, sweet and cherished friend.
How does that happen when West just lost his election?
It won’t even though the Speaker doesn’t have to be from the elected group. The House hasn’t ever elected someone that isn’t currently an elected member to that position and isn’t going to start tomorrow. JMO.
Anyone have Uncle Newt’s phone number handy?
Now the RINOs are unnecessary to DemoRats, and will no longer be allowed to retain their positions. There are Rats that want those seats and they shall have them.
“How does that happen when West just lost his election?”
It happens because there is absolutely no rule that the speaker of the house be a member of the house. They could elect Kim Kardashian if they wanted to.
How is it that Democrats get to vote on who is to be Speaker of a GOP controlled House?
Happy New Year dear friend... may GOD bless you and yours! I did send you a freepmail before Christmas. A belated Merry Christmas too!
