RE :”Sickoflibs has been reminding us about #2. None of the “conservatives” in the House seem to want Boehner’s job, as SOL puts it “Obama’s b****.” And to be honest, for example, what would I do as Speaker if the only choices are .....”

Since 2011 MSNBC libs have been repeating the rumor (their invention) that Eric Cantor wants Bohners job and is a hero of conservatives, that he is their choice. So as this theme goes Bohner is worried that Cantor will take his job.
(I heard this a few times on MSNBC and recently a lib coworker repeated this same theory to me.)

I wouldnt hold my breath.

Bohner has two choices :
1) go along with the spending and be labeled as part of the problem, as well as disliked by many in his party,.
2) shutdown the government and be nearly universally despised, and in the end give in like Newt did.

So no-one wants that job. That is why a weak fool like Bohner has it.

Late last year for the last week of December I kept challenging Freepers to call their favorite House GOP hero and ask he to run as Speaker, I knew no-one would.
