The great conservative hero Newt Gingrich is committed to seeing Boehner reelected.
245 republicans and they can’t even find 30 more to vote no
I believe that my congressman, Justin Amash, has already been stripped of positions because he opposed Boehner the last time. He hasn’t said, to my knowledge, where he stands, but I can’t believe he would support him this time.
"Listen, I'm a politician which means I'm a cheat and a liar, and when I'm not kissing babies I'm stealing their lollipops. But it also means I keep my options open. "
Like that stupid commercial:
PUSH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hasn't that already started? Isn't that the SOP of his reign?
Eric Bolling on The Five just claimed it’s the far right, and it’s not going to happen and little Miss Rino Bo Peep Bushbot Dana whats her face chimed in, too. They make me sick.
Hes keeping his options open.
In other words he’s waiting to see if Boner needs his vote.
So there are only 10 congressmen who stand for the Constitution’s separation of powers, while the rest of the cowards are worried about their stinking committee assignments!!! The vote tomorrow will separate those who talk the talk as conservatives from those who walk the walk. Those failing the test, must be primaried in 2016.
I would LOVE it if such a thing would happen, but I don’t see it happening.
Any politician, no matter how ‘good’ they are won’t go past that ‘event horizon’ when it comes to self preservation. If they go for getting rid of his sorry ass, if it doesn’t happen, their career in Congress is essentially over.
Then again, even if the effort fails, they could be remembered later as one of the few that had courage and made a stand!
“Even many of the most conservative Republicans who would be the most likely to vote against Boehner are playing it close to the vest, because, if the speaker survives the coup, he could retaliate by stripping lawmakers of prized committee assignments and chairmanships.”
In the You and I world this would result in criminal charges being filed. But in Washington it is just politics as usual. This is exactly How people like Boehner remain in power.
When you are plotting to overthrow the King, you are not going to talk about it on Fox News. If the plot fails, everyone involved will deny all knowledge. The exceptions are those who have gone public and they don’t need the Speaker or the Party to help them win reelection and aren’t expecting some juicy committee assignment.
Why would a Congressman vote to keep that sword over his head for the next two years, when they can simply end the House tyranny now?

Just step aside, idiot. Why do you even want a job at which you’re terrible? Try as you might, your ‘Rat pals love how you screw us over but they still hate you.
DUMP the Crying Cheeto!!! (per Lazamataz)
crappola
stupid pubbies will keep this RINO douschbag Boehner
It’s time for conservatives in Congress to grow a pair.
“Even many of the most conservative Republicans who would be the most likely to vote against Boehner are playing it close to the vest, because, if the speaker survives the coup, he could retaliate by stripping lawmakers of prized committee assignments and chairmanships.”
Well, now, nothing like running the nation with the best and the brightest for each committee. I bet a great community organizer would be able to put aside personal feelings for the good of the party, oops, I mean republic.
