they can even vote for someone who is not in Congress at all!

And if elected I will not run! ;-)

“they can even vote for someone who is not in Congress at all! “.......

Want to shake up the whole world, vote Sarah Palin as Speaker and stand back, there would be a real explosion then. (It would be fun to watch).

Boehner has been the republican leader since 2006, that's 8 years. As minority leader and as majority leader since 2011, what do we have to show for it?

• "8 years older and deeper in debt" - budget lies about passing the buck to budget, no to spending limit, no to budget, no to spending limit.
• And who gets cut: military pay and veteran benefits
• on a socialist path to government control of our health decisions
• 2 victories by barack Hussein Obama
• a full partner in the chamber of commerce amnesty plan
• an underfunded military
• a military that's a freakshow social experiment
• The list could go on and on: foreign policy, education policy, disease, etc.
• THE VERY BEST REASON FOR GETTING RID OF BOEHNER: HE'S BEEN INEFFECTIVE. PERIOD.

  If John Boehner isn't losing a battle, then he's simply not gone to work yet that day.

It doesn’t work like this in actuality. The caucuses meet separately, in private, and choose their candidates. Then, the whole caucus votes for that candidate in the public floor vote.

You WILL NOT know how your representative voted in the caucus meeting unless they tell you (and you believe them). 100% of the GOP reps will vote for the same candidate on the floor.

What happens if 50 Democrats cross over to vote Boehner in as Speaker of the House?

Can we get the pitchforks out if that happens?

[elcid1970]

Just announced that Marty Stutzman will vote against Boehner.

29 needed to derail Boehner, 16 still needed.

Call Congressmen outside your district & let them know. I did since my Congressthing is James Clyburn who hates white people so no sense in calling his office.

What happens if 50 Democrats cross over to vote Boehner in as Speaker of the House?

If Boehner remains speaker due to Democrat votes he'll lose any chance he may have of controlling his caucus.

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.

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.

Go cry somewhere else.

[Triple]

He should have lost the caucus when he used Dem votes to pass key *Obama* legislation.

Why not use it now, and declare a truly bipartisan congressional session?

[RedMDer]

I like the way you think. LOL!

FReepers! Let's go!
Every donation counts!

113th Congressional Phone List

State by State and District by District too! 113th and 114th Republican members of the U.S. House

State by State and District by District too!

By my reckoning, there are only 14 with enough backbone to oppose him. Perhaps calls from the base will push this number up, but it does not feel like enough to push him out.

[simonjo]

The down side is..I could not remember who is my representative since I voted straight ticket and his name is not on the list of House members, only the departing member,the new rep is not on the list, yet. I did find him though and sent a message to him.

[freepersup]

Done!

[Let's Roll]

BTTT!

[Bravada]

One BONER too many!
