On the heels of Texas Republican Louie Gohmert’s announcement Sunday that he’s officially a candidate for Speaker of the House, conservative activists have launched a website aimed at getting present Speaker John Boehner voted out.

The FreedomWorks website explains its position under the title “Speaker Boehner Has Got to Go”:

It’s time for a new Speaker of the House.

John Boehner has been Speaker of the House for four years. And in those four years he has betrayed conservatives and cut backroom deals to give President Obama exactly what he wants.

We can’t accept a Speaker of the House who continually surrenders to Obama’s radical agenda.

Now is the chance for Republicans to elect a principled leader – a leader who will stand up to Obama and the progressives.

The page provides a form that can be emailed to representatives, urging them to vote against Boehner for Speaker of the House.

Along with Gohmert, Rep. Ted Yoho also threw his hat into the Speaker ring.

Somebody put up a decent Louie Gohmert for Speaker Facebook page also.

Freedomworks is straight up Ron Paul revolutionary Libertarian these days. They got on the anti Boehner train late. Conservatives in North Carolina and Texas have been fighting this battle to oust Boehner for a long time, and their wish may come true.

[who knows what evil?]

Conservatives have GOT to learn how to use ‘social media’ as effectively as the commies.

Boner has got to GO!

Unfortunately my House district was one of the very few to change from red to blue this election. I’m sure my new representative, the egregious Wendy Graham (yes, spawn of the uber-liberal Bob Graham)is enjoying the intramural GOP spat.

The paulbots are trying to capitalize on conservative dissatisfaction with the establishment party, and sneak in the rough the back door.

we need to keep our eyes open for this crap.

[God'sgrrl]

You are absolutely correct.

"Conservatives have GOT to learn how to use ‘social media’ as effectively as the commies."

Conservatives have GOT to learn how to motivate their base as effectively as the Paulistas.

Agreed

Call your Representative and tell him he needs to be a patriot and NOT vote for Bonehead. Then call all the other Representatives in your state.

We can do this, but you can’t sit on your hands!

This is just a fundraising page for the FreedomWorks moochers. Big deal.

Freedom Works has just announced (2015-01-05) that they're getting involved with the "FIRE John Boehner" movement.

Wonders never cease. (/sarcasm-off)

Some argue that Freedom Works is a despicable organization, starting with the "top" .... Matt Kibbe ...

After being a member of $$$ contributor to Freedom Works for some time, I "personally" contacted Matt Kibbe and over Twelve of Freedom Works executive staff about participating in the 2015-01-03 rallies against Obama Amnesty and to FIRE John Boehner.

They never even replied.

Freedom Works boasts over 8,000 "public member groups".

They could have easily made a difference, but choose not to.

It's another case when "hidden agendas", "leadership egos" and the $$$ financial lechery of so-called "Patriot Groups" is KILLING the American Tea Party movement.

Some argue that groups like ALIPAC and Freedom Works only got involved in the FIRE John Boehner activity (after it had been "massively" nationally broadcast at Free Republic and Facebook (for over a month) ...

because it was a "fund raising opportunity" ...

and because they were so damned embarrassed to be "behind the curve".



Freedom Works is disgusting similar to other "Conservative Patriot" groups ...

where we are asked to Sign a STUPID Petition (that goes straight to the trash) ... and then send Freedom Works, WMD, Eric Erickson (ad nausuem) a $ 25 donation.



For groups like Freedom Works the MOST ALARMING aspect of the 2015-01-03 national rallies was the organizer REFUSED TO ACCEPT DONATIONS.

Frankly, America is politically screwed if our "leadership" continues the "secret backdoor corruption" that's been the dirty little secret for years and years.
