If he is undecided, hes no one needing to have the job. Or A job.

A big Boehner win means it is time to leave the GOP no matter the cost.

Sadly, I think you are correct. Have been wary of the third party idea, but what't the other option? I don't think we want to go there yet. . Will it come to that in the end?

How about the American Party?

[demshateGod]

JB will be the Republican nominee. Elizabeth Warren will be the next president. It would be the stupidest thing that ever happened, which is why it will happen.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Correction to myself. I had the date of the new congress convening wrong. It is 1/6/15.

Where are the men of honor we sent to Washington? Are they bought & paid for as they cross the Potomac River?

Wednesday I become an independent.

[2001convSVT]

I feel certain that you are right. I have contacted Ted Poe and request that he support Louis Gohmert for Speaker (to no avail). I was at least hoping that 29 righteous representatives would vote against Boehner to force a second ballet.

[LegendHasIt]

He used to be a good conservative; I really used to like the guy, personally as well as politically, but in the last year or two has been mostly assimilated by the Establishment Borg. I’m actually a bit surprised he is ‘undecided’.

I don’t know if he was bribed or blackmailed, but a little extra pressure from the folks back home might set him back on the right path.

I ain’t holding my breath, but it won’t cost much to send him an email or give his office a call.

[Norm Lenhart]

SJB and I have a running joke that really isn’t a joke about batting 1000. Because we and a few others hit this whole fiasco to the letter.

Nor because of ego. Because we simply paid attention and didn’t lie to ourselves. We were right on Romney, Right on the GOP running hard left, Amnesty, Bhenghazi, gay marriage, Trannies in the military, Obamacare funding. And that the GOP would help empower/protect it all.

When something is that easily predicted that some bitter clinging purists can nail it dead on and there are still people making excuses for it, the problem is the fact that we CAN predict it to begin with. Because of WHY.

[Norm Lenhart]

Once they turn, they ate lost to us.

[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

Even worse...Bonnie and Clod get back into the WH.

Up to their old antics...pardoning criminals....bjs in the Oral Office...cigars in the wrong places...animal house all over again.

[LegendHasIt]

Wow;
I never expected to run across someone who is even more pessimistic than I am.

[Norm Lenhart]

It’s realism, not pessimism.

[stephenjohnbanker]

The rather amazing(albeit disheartening) thing is that there are so few here batting 1,000.

[PrivateIdaho]

I just called Rep. Labrador’s office, it rang and rang and then went to a recording that said “leave your name, address and message”. When I went to leave a message, it said “the message box is full”... a good sign!

[Osage Orange]

I spoke with every Okie Rep's office's today.....

ONLY Bridenstine...is vocal about his support of Boner's ouster.

Sad day for Okie Rep's.......

I told them all....support from me will be drying up...And the GOPe can eat dirt...as far as I'm concerned!!

And this is OKLAHOMA!!!

We are so screwed!!

I'm SICK AND TIRED OF REPUBLICANS THAT WON'T FIGHT!!!

I told everyone who answered the phone that...

Cole will vote for Boner..as will Russell, Mullen, and Lucas....as of now!! At least as that is what I took and was told...from my conversations with their staff.

VERY disappointed...VERY MUCH SO!!

These guy's don't know how much $$$$ will dry up....

So when will they FIGHT!!?!?!?

When Pol Pot is re-incarnated into a charismatic...good looking black woman?

I'm done!!!

[novemberslady]

Rep Cris Smith

I do not want Boehner for speaker.

If you vote for him you are voting against not just me, but many others who feel the same way.

Just because they are busy trying to make a living does not mean they aren't paying attention.
They are.

[Norm Lenhart]

See my earlier comments to whats up who magically reappeared recently.

[WaterWeWaitinFor]

Just called Jim Sensenbrenner’s office AGAIN. His DC office said they’ve received hundreds of calls on this. AND says he hasn’t told the staff how he’s voting. I let him have it - politely - saying that is BS.

I pointed out several reasons Boehner must go and said “do NOT vote for him and DON’T CAVE - DON’T let us down out here”.

I said Boehner is over the hill and needs to go. Actually Jim should retire - but mostly a very good rep for Wisconsin.

[Osage Orange]

I’ll take “Yes” for $200,000,000.... Alex.............

[VerySadAmerican]

Doesn’t take long to turn them, does it. I have to wonder if they’re not only showed what they have against them. They’re also shown what they can make up. I simply don’t believe everyone of them is dirty.

[leapfrog0202]

Thanks Legend! More nudges can’t hurt!

I called, emailed, tweeted & Facebooked him! You can’t write directly on his FB wall, but I put my comment under comments from others on the latest post he made.
