At this point, it appears Boehner did not realize what he had done and is simply pursuing it because he is trying to save face.
Same attitude Obama has with telling lies - he will never admit wrongdoing or backtrack.
Boehner is wealthy, and has to financial worries. He’s at the tail end of his career. Boehner is doing what his financial masters have told him to do. Boehner will prosper no matter how this all turns out.
I sure hope so.
Not "might", or "could" or "perhaps"..
But I sure don't want Cantor taking over either..
This is not an act of hot-headedness. This has been brewing. It appears Boehner is callously stepping all over his members and has no apparent regard for their opinion when it comes to immigration. So, if it takes removing him from the Speakership, then so be it.
It is time to act with boldness. The time for incremental behavior is over. There is too much at stake!
I agree 100%.
This is perhaps the solution to several problems.
This would avoid the GOP breaking into smaller competing factions in the run-up to the next election.
Boehner is obviously strongly for more illegal immigration.
That is not consistent with a leadership role.
Stand down Boehner. And for the GOP, replace him, whether he does or does not.
Call your congressman and demand that the Republican caucus give a vote of no confidence to Boehner.
Boner already gave up the gavel to Pelosi once. He shouldn't had a chance to do it again.
They need to get those damn GOP amnesty ads off TV!!
They are losing votes every time that ad airs.
But who will run against him? Cantor? I don’t see anything really changing.
That must have been one helluva GOP Summit they held last week.
"two-thirds of the House rank-and-file is opposed to what the leadership in the House is trying to push"....Rush
Tweet Trey Gowdy and tell him to take his job.
This coup will be a heady brew when finally drunk - it's been brewing for so long it must be really strong stuff. On the other hand, with all those RINOs, I cannot see it actually happening.
For over a decade, the GOP has put more effort behind amnesty than any other issue. The leadership should lose their jobs.
Ya can’t fix oompah-loompah stoopid.
I will reserve my excitement until it actually occurs.
