Replace the Speaker

Republicans in the House of Representatives are preparing to support yet another increase in the national debt limit and they're not even trying to do anything to balance the budget or stop Obamacare.

Republicans are giving up because they know that winning is impossible when their leaders are determined to lose. These leaders have telegraphed weakness to the Democrats and sabotaged conservative efforts so many times that Republicans now have no leverage. There's only one solution.

John Boehner must be replaced as Speaker of the House.

Its impossible to achieve any of the goals we want. The Democrats hold the White House and the Senate and they have the full backing of the MSM.

But some conservatives refuse to be chastened by experience.

Just a rhetorical comment here, sent your way. Nothing accusatory.

As a people, we have become inured to politics as sport.

Instead of concern over the condition of our rights, politics has been reduced to airhead analysis of which party is on offense/defense, which is ahead/behind, and what next year’s player draft looks like.

There are going to be big changes very soon, for Marx cannot be indefinitely grafted on to Madison.

This is not “backing down”. This is taking the decision out of the hands of the Republicans and putting it to the Democrats knowing he’ll get all the dems and only needs 15 republican rinos.

It is siding with the democrats and the liberal republicans. It is the rejection of a republican coalition and turning to a democrat+15 coalition to rule the way he wants.

UNLESS someone whips every single republican into line and makes it impossible for Boehner to get the +15. If that were to happen, it would send the message that the House intends to fight. That’s why I don’t expect to see it.

We need a new speaker.

They can’t figure out how to combat Obama’s “held hostage” line. Amazingly dim light bulbs over there.

1. Our Constitutional job is to be responsible on spending. Have everyone say that. All the time. Everywhere.
