Congressmen Confirm That Boehner Will Either Resign Speakership Or Be Forced Out
Cybercast News Service.com ^ | 1/2/13 | Ron Meyer

Posted on 01/02/2013 5:08:45 PM PST by drewh

I have confirmed with a group of Congressmen that House Speaker John Boehner will not be reelected Speaker tomorrow.

He will either resign or be forced out tomorrow.

Only 17 members are needed to block Speaker Boehner's election tomorrow. A Speaker needs an absolute majority of all votes cast for a specific person.

If no one has a majority, the House is speakerless. I've confirmed these rules with the House Parliamentarian.

“Dittos!!... No Eric Cantor!... He is too sissified and rino in elephant clothes.....”

There has always been something very womanly about him....Too soft-spoken to be feared by opposition....Even the picture on Drudge with Boehner which was the lead story today, he just looks like a, well wuss.......

Mark Steyn is not native born citizen.

I don't think that matters. What does matter is that he's not a citizen.

Pelosi is already in charge. 170 Rats voted for this sham bill last night.
Only 85 Rino Monkeys, from the MAJORITY party voted for it.
Now who’s in charge?

I’m not the biggest fan of McCain, but he doesn’t deserve that insult.

“Or R. Lee Ermey”

Nah, he doesn’t like maggots, much less lead a bunch of them! But he would keep order now wouldn’t he!

When I was crying, “fire Boehner,” I said no one can be worse than him. Leave it to the rinos to position the next possible worst candidate. sigh...................................!

Not gonna happen. He’s too useful to the slack-jawed sodomite in the White Hut.

Mark Steyn is not native born citizen.

So what - we are now in a post-Constituitonal period in American history. Baraq Hussein Soetoro is not a NATURAL Born Citizen which required TWO American citizen parents.

I vote for Mark Steyn because of this issue just to shove it in the RATS face.

Honest to God. Imagine for a moment.

If these morons can sluff a no account like JJJ or Shiela Jackson Mars, or Al Fruckin Franklin into office, I have to say: Why the hell not Nugent!?

Good point. Even as a GOP presidential candidate, he couldn’t contain himself. I wish Gingrich would just become a Democrat. He would finally be given the credit by the media he thinks he deserves. It would be a win-win for everyone.

“Mark Levin has been promoting the idea...his suggestion is Scott Walker for Speaker.”

What all of this dialogue is saying is that there are any number of qualified people outside the House that would make an excellent Speaker. The flip side of that is that these a$$holes, left to their own devices (and a broken “seniority system” that isn’t found anywhere in the Constitution) elect the biggest turd in the punchbowl every time! It’s time to sh!tcan the “it’s my turn” mantra.

I know. I do have to call foul on that, though. Saying FDR is the greatest president of the 20th century isn’t “bashing” Reagan. Even though I feel Gingrich felt that way towards Reagan, technically, the headline is not accurate. (I know it’s not yours) We don’t want to be like Rather - “fake but accurate.”

So far, I have offered facts, you have offered nothing.

Your facts are irrefutable...in your own mind. I take Flomax and don't want to enter some sort of contest with you. I just wanted to say that your idea of "facts" differs from mine. That's all.

OH MY! The sky is falling!!! Over and over for months the same ole dribble. Get it, people do like Newt. I guess we can't have a pinch for his past wives (Grow up). I rather have him sitting by Nancy vs. Romney giving gay marriage the green light in his state or his blueprint to Obamacare/Romneycare. The jive doesn't get it. Seriously.

Please do not put Canter or another RINO in. Choose a real conservative like Allen West.
