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.

We also need someone with substance and not bluster.
Gov. Chris Christi was a first class SUCKER. Obama played him like a marionette. Now Chrisi just pisses and moans over HIS OWN failure. IOW he chose badly.
At this level we need a person who can walk the walk not just talk the talk. (BTW telling Reid to go copulate with himself was a nice start regardless)
He’s a conservative for 2 days a year when there is a vote on him coming.
I hope nobody is fooled by this.
LOL!
“Maybe he should try for dogcatcher”.
West would be an excellent choice and would be great for our country. His brass ones are big enough to call out the socialists & at the least try to stem the tide against our us.
Boner has to go.
Dogcatcher?
What a dumb thing to say.
Yes, I have read Article 1, Section 2.
You do realize that your Freeper campaign to whip up support for the defeated Allen West borders on "The Crazy" - right? Not only has no non-member of Congress ever been elected Speaker, but if you think a member who was defeated 2 months ago is going to be elected to the position, bless your heart.
There, fixed it. If Boehner really moved to the right, he would be telling Obama right now that there will be no increase in the debt ceiling for 2013.
Wrote them a note of non-support and put it in the postage-paid envelope.
A pox on all their houses.
I think some Democrats will vote for Boehner if it goes to a second ballot.
This is no joke. We are cursed in Texas with a state Speaker, Joe Straus, who stays in power in just this way.
Rhetorical questions for $200 Alex.
You got that right. After four years in power, Pelosi was unable to raise either the top income bracket rate or the capital gains tax rate. Yet Boehner got them both raised after only two years.

I prefer West over any sitting member, period.
I don’t much care what you think of my choice, sweetie.
conservatives can be so naive
exactly
The RINO-Dem coalition is strong
Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution only provides that the House choose a Speaker, it does not specify that the Speaker must be a member of the House (though all have been).
darn right
