The Texas delegation needs to back Gohmert.

“.......Texas has 25 Republican House members, the largest GOP delegation in Congress, a number that increased by one in the incoming Congress. Former CIA operative Will Hurd of San Antonio, the first African-American Republican from Texas, defeated Rep. Pete Gallego, D-Alpine, in the 23rd Congressional District.”

More candidates equals less chance of change.

With 25% of the GOP saying they won’t vote in 2016 if the GOPe foists another loser onto the ticket, ousting Boehner may be the Republican Party’s last chance to survive.

Let the fun begin. Louie would make the news fun again, but would incite Bammy such that the military would have to remove the Won.

In a lengthy interview couple weeks back, Cong Louie Gohmert (Rep-TX) exposed how House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, and Majority Whip Steve Scalise strengthened Obama’s executive amnesty with procedural trickery. A video shows Cong Gohmert on the House floor explaining why, as the bill's co-sponsor, he voted No.

Rep Gohmert is one of Congress' most astute patriots---his circumlocution is formidable. Rep Gohmert is the only lawmaker to issue a high alert as Obama announced his amnesty plans----"by law, people in the country illegally are not permitted to work, " Gohmert said.

==========================================

And there's Gohmert's eye-opening exchanges at 2014 House Judiciary hearing on immigration.....w/ Obama's hand-picked USCIS factotum---Leon Rodriguez.

Cong Gohmert set the trap for the oily Rodrigues. He nailed the mealy-mouthed Rodrigues to the wall.

CONG GOHMERT: WRT drug cartels paid $6,000-10,000 to "guide" the hordes over the border---"Would you, as a former prosecutor, call them criminals?," he nonchalantly asked Gonzales.

The smirking Rodrigues stepped headlong into the trap as Cong Gohmert casually hoisted him on his own petard.....making the point that if the hordes were coming here to escape drug cartels, why is it they consort w/ the criminals, and pay the violent breed to get over the border?

========================================================

Keep in mind, Obama told Americans that illegal criminals would be weeded out under his E/O.

At the same immigration hearing, Patriot Cong Randy Forbes stated Americans need to know if violent gang members are strolling across the border, and whether they are walking our streets. Forbes asked Obama appointee to USCIS (A DHS agency) Leon Rodrigues---whether the agency asked applicants about gang membership---and when they invariably reply no, how does the agency know whether it's true or not?

Forbes insisted on knowing "do you even ask them if they're gang members." The calculated Rodriguez would not reveal information to Republicans as he glibly responded to Democrats.

====================================================

NEED TO KNOW---ARE OBAMA/RODRIGUES/DHS SELLING US CITIZENSHIP TO (a) MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS-(b) ISIS TERRORISTS---(c) CONTAGIOUS ALIENS ?--

In an earlier statement, Sen Charles Grassley (REPUB--IOWA) said ICE identified key vulnerabilities in EB-5 visas

1) Export of sensitive technology/economic espionage.

2) Use by foreign government agents/espionage.

3) Use by terrorists.

4) Investment fraud by regional center.

5) Investment fraud by investors.

6) Fraud conspiracies by investors and regional center.

7) Illicit finance/money laundering.

==================================================

Rodriguez's confirmation hearings revealed he was a board member of Casa Maryland---a latino-centric advocacy group---pushing for unlimited immigration, and has connections to nationwide immigrant groups.

... his bid — or other Republicans’ bids — for the speaker position don’t create a serious risk that Democrats could slip in a victorious candidate.

Actually this would seem to be possible. I think many of us could use a short tutorial on the mechanics of the vote.

So if there are any experts here in FR-Land:

Is the vote timed?
Can you change your vote before it is finalized?
Things like that.

Gohmert’s announcement comes as Boehner’s approval from conservative voters sags

How can it sag if it is already at zero?

I LOVE Gohmert!! He is a real conservative. That bastard Boehner needs to go and Gohmert would make a great speaker.

JUST TWO MORE DAYS (Jan 6) BEFORE THE VOTE.

The timing for this announcement is good. Momentum is building to overthrow Boehner, and the more who publicly throw in with the rebels, the better chance they can defeat him on the first ballot.

My concern was that nobody would dare run against him, since the GOP-e will likely immediately put forward someone even worse than Boehner. But with this announcement, conservatives finally have someone to rally around.

VERY INTERESTING how people started announcing opposition to Boener the DAY AFTER this poll came out, telling everyone what the REPUBLICAN BASE thinks of him:

http://www.nationalreview.com/campaign-spot/395614/new-poll-shows-tepid-gop-support-boehner-role-speaker-jim-geraghty

I don’t remember this type of polling in either 2010 or 2012, and I’m wondering if there would be any announced opposition at all had this poll not been done.

It’s almost like the key House Republicans ask their ‘trusted’ advisers (most of whom are gay, by the way) what kind of support Boener has - and the ‘trusted’ advisers (mostly gays, by the way), like a good 5th Column, tell the Republicans not to waste their time trying to take on Boener under any conditions, as he’s ‘really popular’, so they listen to the ‘advice’ and simply stay put.

Of course they also get non-stop phone calls from angry voters, but those same ‘trusted’ advisers (most of them gay, by the way) tell the Republicans to ignore those calls, as they are being pushed by Rush Limbaugh and others and don’t represent the country, or even the Republican base...so they ignore the calls and keep supporting Boener. (and by the way, Rush hasn’t directly pushed people to call in about 20 years).

If this isn’t going on, then WHAT IS GOING ON?
