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.

Saw no mention of firing Bonehead on that twitter feed page :(
Of COURSE he will survive. Too many gutless wonders in the GOP.
I meant for us to tweet Republicans in Congress to get rid of boner . I am tweeting them. I just put a link to their twitter accounts
YES!
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.
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?
Will “Weepy Boner” “Survive”?
Weepy Boner...
I prefer to call him: Bawling Ball-less Bone-less Bone-head!
Did your beeber go off too?
ALL PELOSI HAS TO DO IS RELEASE 20 DEMOCRAPS TO VOTE FOR HIM!!!!!
Uhh...West couldn’t win his own district. Maybe he should try for dog catcher.
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.
I would respectfully recommend dealing with reality and not with fantasy.
BTTT!!!!!
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.
until you realize nobody of quality will run against him.
we only have a few kook paul types.
Number 7 Jadeveon Clowney for Speaker of the House!
Hey, I don’t even know his politics but we need more than Wimpy right now.
I fully expect just enough Dems to vote for him to keep their useful idiot in power.
"South Carolina, what's up?"
