Unfortunately, it won't be a good, reliable conservative (ala Louie Gohmert), and probably not even someone whose name we would recognize, and maybe not even someone very effective but it will be someone all sides (GOP & conservatives, or as we used to say, the Republican Wing of the Republican Party) can vote on, i. e. a Denny Hastert-type. Remember we do have to count votes and Debbie Blabbermouth Schultz and her band of terrorists get to vote also and they will never, ever support a conservative!

Someone a little "tarnished" so the big guys in charge know won't step out of line too far, but someone who doesn't have blood on his/her hands from stabbing conservatives in the back and removing them from committee assignments, so that probably means no one the current leadership will qualify - but they just might get enough RINOs and DNC votes to make it.

Sadly, it will take many more elections to separate the bad guys and gals from those honest people who go to DC to really represent the folks back home and We the People!

Those guys and gals found out, that's "just not how things are done in DC," they had to "wake up and smell the coffee."

Many did and returned home not to become part of the problem, others stayed to fight but they've fought alone without a voice.

Maybe, just maybe there's a chance in the future to really turn things around but it isn't going to happen in 2015-16.

What about Rep Meadows, since he’s been most in the news as challenging Weeper Bourbon, er, Boehner?

Attention: this just in from one of those "good guys" who fought against Boehner: "Dear XX,

Come November 1st, I will be in Congress and John Boehner will be gone. Time and again, the Speaker and his allies launched into personal attacks or simply ignored conservatives when we asked him to fight for conservative principles. When he could not control our votes, Speaker Boehner began to punish me and other conservatives who dared to dissent.

Even now, Speaker Boehner is joining Washington Insiders to fund the horrific actions of Planned Parenthood. This is a complete and total abandonment of our conservative principles.

And it has happened again and again.

So when Speaker Boehner announced his resignation today, my first thought is that it was a small victory for the American people whose voices have been ignored for too long.

But John Boehner's resignation is not enough. If we continue to turn Congress over to President Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, the American people will continue to lose. And just because John Boehner is not the Speaker doesn't mean his big money backers will stop attacking conservatives who want to stop Washington's stranglehold on the American people. The Speaker's Super PAC friends already ran slanderous ads against me because I would not support funding for President Obama's illegal executive amnesty.

They have already committed to fund millions of dollars of negative ads in conservative districts next year to try and defeat us."

....etc. His letter goes on asking me to donate again to his fight against Planned Parenthood and those donors who keep DC the cesspool it is, so I won't bore you with that but wanted to let you know what's happening behind the scenes where people are cheering the end of John Boehner - au contraire!
