I have confirmed with a group of Congressmen that House Speaker John Boehner will not be reelected Speaker tomorrow.
He will either resign or be forced out tomorrow.
Only 17 members are needed to block Speaker Boehner's election tomorrow. A Speaker needs an absolute majority of all votes cast for a specific person.
If no one has a majority, the House is speakerless. I've confirmed these rules with the House Parliamentarian.
I totally agree- He would probably be the best choice. While I sort of prefer Newt, he does have a great many detractors.
No excuses, no reasons matter when we need a giant head banger as Speaker. Don’t worry, we’ll get Boehner back, or his establishment clone, Cantor. It’s the RINO way, don’tcha know, and all RINOS and socialists despise Newt. Then their come the unforgiving Puritans, and the anti-Catholics who are worse than the unforgivable Puritans, so what’s to worry. I like who his enemies are, because they are mine.
Don’t let the door hit your ass on the way out Bonehead. What a disaster as a Speaker.
LOL!
At least apply “spell check” before you post.
I already know you won’t apply logic, reality or reason...

I'm giving this some thought, we have the same system here, yet I am thinking of going Ind., just for the scare factor, then change back just in time for the elections.

Cool.
With Moe gone, who’s going to take over: Larry or Curly?

An inconvenient fact too many Newtbots are willing to overlook because he talks a good game.
I’m a Freeper fer Cries sake. I don’t read anything I post and I don’t know what spell checker is. /s
We should all take a step back from this. we are so PO’d about Boehner and Cantor we are feeding on our own and you are a good person.
I apologize for my previous rant and making it personal.
Right, and who will run for Speaker???
No one!
The whole thing is silly, no one wants that job.
Of course Cantor is the same. He just does the Kabuki dance.
How about the Boy Wonder Ryan?? :)
It may only take 17 right wing repubs to block Boehner, but It only takes 17 left wing repubs to install Bill Clinton as Speaker, or Michelle Obama, or Hillary Clinton, or god knows who else.
The “blockcade” republicans need to be very careful how they play their hand.
The Constitution does not say this. It’s a House rule.
Methinks we are all being played by the inmates of the soon to be opened Washington D.C. Federal Penitentiary an Museum.
No one suggested Sarah, she was once the favorite fantasy here.
