Breitbart ^ | 3 Jan 2013 | by Matthew Boyle

The Speaker of the House will be elected today and some conservatives believe they have the votes necessary to oust John Boehner. In an appearance on CNBC, American Majority Action spokesman Ron Meyer said there are more than 20 House Republicans willing to vote for someone other than Boehner on Thursday when the 113th Congress convenes to elect a Speaker. Another source from a different organization has similarly confirmed that more than 20 have planned to oppose Boehner.

There are certainly 20+ rats that will vote for the lush.
He’s actually better for rats than pelosi, destroys the GOP even more (if that’s possible) while furthering the progressive agenda.

"Um, you do realized that Allen West was defeated in November, right?"

Do you need to be a member of the House to be speaker?

Do you need to be a lawyer to be on the Supreme Court?

I know there are some rules like this...

Right...I get it. I’m just disappointed that there’s no mention of it (firing Bonehead) - when I clicked on link. Wish there was an overwhelming stream of FIRE BONEHEAD tweets.

Yes of course, his "defeat" was gleefully covered extensively in the drive-by media.

You do realize that the House Speaker does not have to be a sitting congressman or even an elected member of that body, right?

1 Will 20 republicans oppose him?

2 Will he then step down rather than let the democrats put him in office?

Who knows, it’s a mess but the guy is a pr disaster. A total bore who has no sense of talking to the nation.

Look, he is an honorable man and a fine soldier, but he is no longer a Representative!

I would respectfully recommend dealing with reality and not with fantasy.

My Rep's office just said that someone has to run against Bonehead, for him to be *voted out*. At this time, no one is running against him.

If our Reps abstained from voting for Bonehead, according to this staffer, then Pelousy would become Speaker. So, because we have no one brave enough to step up and put their hat into the nomination it looks like Bonehead lives on as Weeper.

I fully expect just enough Dems to vote for him to keep their useful idiot in power.
