If Boehner Breaks Hastert Rule over CRomnibus, that Frees ALL Republicans to Support New Speaker

Boehner needs to go! We need to start a campaign now to get a primary challenger.

Nothing stops a majority of House members from electing a new speaker any time they damn well please.

Additionally I believe there is no requirement that the Speaker also be a member.

Hehehehehehehehe! Good evening, NCN!

[Secret Agent Man]

Benedict Boner.

[nascarnation]

You too sir!

[SgtBob]

You, Sir, are correct...I nominate Newt Gingrich.

This action would be an activating cause. We'll see then who will step forward. It wouldn't be from his own circle, so it would have to be someone who thought they could get broad support from the remainder of republicans, less Boehner's cronies.

Here's a start: Republican Reps. Justin Amash (R-MI), Michele Bachmann (R-MN), Dave Brat (R-VA), Mo Brooks (R-AL), Paul Broun (R-GA), Louie Gohmert (R-TX), Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Tim Huelskamp (R-KS), Walter Jones (R-NC), Jim Jordan (R-OH), Steve King (R-IA), Raul Labrador (R-ID), Tom Massie (R-KY), Bill Posey (R-FL), Matt Salmon (R-AZ) and Steve Stockman (R-TX) held the line and voted no.

Anything that is acceptable to a large number of Democrat Congressmen (not to mention President Obama as well) can't be any good.

The point of removing Bonehead if this disaster of a bill passes wil be mute.
Bonehead would have done his damage and probably retire or
join Trent Lotts DC Lobbing firm.

Yet the bill will stand and nothing can be done about it.

Boehner won with 63%.
Better than Wasserman-Schultz but not nearly as good as Pelosi.
I think he’s pretty bulletproof ‘cause he brings home the bacon for the fine folks of Cincy.

[tennmountainman]

So true.

[odawg]

Boehner barely squeaked by as Speaker two years ago.

[fieldmarshaldj]

She appears to be not guilty. Boner, on the other hand, is guilty and should be nuked from orbit just to be sure.

[warpsmith]

Sob.

[Not now, Not ever!]

If they shit can boehner the bawler, which should be a forgone conclusion, maybe yertle over in the senate ,might get the hint.

[Vendome]

I know!

LOL

Did you catch her in that fetching red outfit, erhhhh nighty?

[Vendome]

Saw that ass hat this morning.

Looks like a lech and a slob, the way he kept locking his lips was creepy and I thought “Must be a lizard in there and this Boner gig is just some costume”

[SaxxonWoods]

Well done and coherent. Would have been improved by not using Arnold. His story ends up overshadowing the main point, that Boehner has not acted in the interests of the majority of his constituents.

Whether that is distressing to a majority of Republican House members is a very different and important matter. House members work with Boehner all the time and will tend to look at the totality of his actions and his actions as they help or hurt the individual member in question.

There will be some new members very soon, and things will hopefully get more interesting then. It won’t take too long to find out what if any effect the new members are likely to have.

I keep hoping that some day someone like McConnell will reveal that they have been a closet conservative just waiting for their day to strike. He did come aboard as a conservative.

Wishes, dreams, and pixie dust.

It’s the preacher in me who has been taught inductive preaching....begin with a story and use stories/events to have points realized rather than making points and then using examples to illustrate them.

Do you think writing is better served by points and then illustration?
