Another idea about how Republicans “Can get it done.” But, unfortunately, it won’t be. Again.
The baton will be passed to a RINO. Watch...
My bet is that Boehner will survive and remain Speaker. He'll do so by making backroom promises to conservative members, promises that he won't keep but will buy him two more years in power.
Ya know....it would help if this “Freedom Works” group knew who the new crop of Reps is going to be.
They sent my message to the outgoing Rep. who now has an address at the Senate.
Is voting by secret ballot?
I don’t hold out much hope that Boner will be replaced. Every congress person who votes for him on the first go round will never change their vote. So, on the second vote all he needs are some democrats and he’s already got them lined up.

Remember what Speaker Boehner did to Marty Stutzman. Lied to his face to get his vote on the Cromnibus. I think Boehner’s word is worthless. I smell blood in the water.
I’m betting on da judge. (Gohmert).
Boner decreed that leadership will turn over after 6 years, he should follow his own rule.
We can do this, but you can’t sit on your hands!
No....Voting is by spoken names in alphabetical order of the entire House of Reps.
Each Rep states his or her vote or votes "present"
The trick is to deny the crybaby in the first ballot, thus forcing second and possible consequent ballots with other candidates.
Voting continues for as long as it takes until a candidate secures 218 votes.
My first thought is the lofo’s. They won’t even be involved. There are truly many lofo Republicans! I think this may be doable. All my RNC email goes into the waste basket unopened. I’m sick of their BS too. My congressman, Lamar Smith was sent an email the next day after this ram thru of a budget.
If I am not mistaken, the 6-year rule was part of the Contract With America.
I’m sure the dirt they have on all the members of congress is at the ready to be released if the critters don’t vote for the bonehead.I will be shocked if bonehead does not remain speaker.
Actually, voting against Boehner, would be a resume enhancer for most republicans in the following primary.
Boehner won't be thrown out. He is firmly entrenched in his position. All these stories about a coup are silly. The powerful in Washington remain in power. Nothing will change.
