Replace John Boehner as House Speaker (declare the chair vacant!)

As my colleague streiff wrote a while ago, (alleged) Republican Speaker of the House Rep. John Boehner just pushed through a “clean” bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security and funded Barack Obama’s plan to grant amnesty to millions of illegals. Boehner has once again flipped the bird to the conservative base and shown his cowardice in the face of the Democrat meanies who threaten to throw a fit about a shutdown.

John Boehner must go. He must be replaced as House Speaker. He does not represent the interests of the majority of Americans who voted for a Republican House of Representatives and Senate and whose clear message was “oppose Barack Obama”.

Boehner and his cowardly GOP compatriots (seen in non-italics here) must be booted from the House during the next election season. As far as I’m concerned, Boehner should be campaigned against in the next primary AND the next general election, should he survive the primary. In the interim, the 167-some GOP House members who do possess some semblance of courage should immediately begin the process of removing Bohener as speaker. It’s time for the GOP representatives to shake the fear of retribution from Boehner and his co-conspirators and fight back. Committee assignments are not worth the damage that House and Senate leadership are doing to the Republican party and to the country by continuing to tolerate Barack Obama’s patently unconstitutional behavior.

I encourage you to write or call your representatives and demand that they work to remove Boehner as Speaker. The cowardice of the GOP leadership must stop now.

What a filthy lying Obama wanna be. I bet Obama said you can have your Netanyahu speech but give me a clean DHS bill. Miserable scum....

[molson209]

Boehner has picked a side and it’s not the Republican and Voters side

[ought-six]

Can his sorry a$$.

[Politicalkiddo]

Miserable creep. Hope his future misery is worth this betrayal.

This is what happens when so called conservative congress critters
talk a good game, but do NOTHING to replace Bonehead.

They are as much cowards as Bonehead is.

[FredZarguna]

Well, I think Boehner is as ineffectual as the next guy, but this entire debacle is entirely Mitch McConnell's fault. The House voted correctly to begin with, but once McConnell refused the nuke option and allowed the Democrats to deny a conference, there was virtually nothing the House could do. Once that happened, under the rules the Dems could bring the vote to the floor with only a few dozen RINO votes to pass it.

This is all on the Senate.

I think these two are mutually at fault across the board. No backbone whatsoever. None. If the House wanted to stand strong, they would challenge the House. Instead, one goes along with the other every time to meet any White House demand.

[fatnotlazy]

It IS the Republican side. This is what the Republic Party has become. The old days are gone.

[Logical me]

Bonehead doesn't give a shit how far this King has gone. Now King Obama says he will raise taxes by executive action. That did it for me. King Obama must be impeached, and NOW. Damn Bonehead for being a coward and the GOP for be so damn anti American that when the civil war starts I'm ready. We are being destroyed for within and these damn idiot Republicans are letting it go.

[Hardens Hollow]

I resigned from the Republican party the day Boohoo was reelected speaker.

I’m done with those traitors.

[dadfly]

stay or go, it doesn’t matter. i’ll wager he stays because he’s doing exactly what the GOPe want’s him to do. if he goes it’ll just be more kabuki theater: he’ll be replaced by his GOPe stand in. meet the old boss...

what needs to happen is a mass resignation from the GOP by the rank and file conservatives at the state and local levels. they can form up into independent conservative groups and wait for an organizing national party to develop.

[OKSooner]

+1

[Logical me]

This is all on the Senate.

And the damn America people who are so damn ignorant the have no idea what is happening. McConnell is a damn fool and no doubt about that. He needs to go also.

[molson209]

If Boehner thinks the Court will save him ,forget it , The Court will say Congress Voted to Fund Obama’s Amnesty ,OK it’s Yours

[hosepipe]

DUH!.... he was just re-installed as Speaker by more than 95% of the House..
re-upped... re-elected... CONFIRMED... sanctioned.. supported.. given a BIG HURRAH..

ALL those people conservatives just elected confirmed him..
Sang ditty for him... like Alfalfa..

The only way to make these liars feel the pain is to start a Third Party. There is no difference between the GOP establishment and the RATS, so why bother giving them our support.

[Paladin2]

Either idiot could have stood firm. In fact they could have defeloped together Plan A, B, C, D, etc. that would have eventually won (even if it was 2 years of DHS "shutdown").

But no, they went Stalagmite.

[taildragger]

"This is all on the Senate."

I knew Boehner and McConnell would stab us in the back, but their have been 3 totally unconstitutional acts by Obama, Amnesty, The AR rounds and Net Neutrality and as Tony Soprano might say we get ohgots out of our 2 meat-heads, they haven't done **** about any of them.

They took the power of the purse and impeachment off the table and we are sitting here watching Rome metaphorically burn.

Don't just replace Boenher, we have to replace Mitch as well...
