I want Louie Gohmert to take Boehner's place

[ThePatriotsFlag]

Time to start burning down the phone lines....dialing...

[originalbuckeye]

GREAT idea! How can we do that? They’ve already voted for Speaker for this Congress, haven’t they?

[ROCKLOBSTER]

219 members—216 of which were Republicans

I want to know who the three were that caught it, and why they aren't new leadership.

It needs to be brought back up for reconsideration by someone that was duped.

[Raycpa]

We have 216 reps who can be tricked to vote against their principles?

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

NEW LEADERSHIP. Or I should say LEADERSHIP. Because now there is none.

[Banjoguy]

....a pack of lying lowlifes!!

[Vendome]

Near as I can this is just a “House Resolution” and not passage of a new law.

Recall S.R. 511 declaring John Sydney McCain to be a true and “Natural Born Citizen”, of two American Parents and such is eligible to become president.

It carried and has Zero, Nada, No force of law.

[TexasFreeper2009]

listen the newly elected guys havent even assumed office yet, can we please knock off these endless rants about how they have already messed up!?

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Gohmert said most members had no idea what they were actually voting for...

Well then...abstain until you get a chance to read it and understand what you are voting for. Seems like pretty simple logic. A lot simpler than just voting for something that Boehner told you to vote for. Morons.

[TomGuy]

... they did it all in the name of pushing a bill that they told Republicans ...

What???

That would indicate the Republicans, like Democrats, are NOT reading legislation before they vote on it.

[Sadly, that is probably more true than we or they care to admit.]

Gohmert said most members had no idea what they were actually voting for

What???????

Do we have another load of House and Senate members who either cannot read or will not read legislation before they vote on it?

How do you fix 'stupid'?

[Ghost of SVR4]

Procedurally, how can Boehner be removed at this point. TO me, there should be 216 pissed off rep’s ready to oust him. Boehner is obviously compromised at this point and could care less about doing anything right FOR the country. He’s playing to keep his own skin in the game.
I truly hope some hard investigative journo (a real one) can dig up dirt on this guy and disgrace him out of office.

[Cheerio]

ABB, Anybody But Boner.

The only peopl ebeing tricked is anyone who believed that any republican was tricked.

"Someone on the Rules Committee?"

.....,,and the Rules Committee consist of whom?

I'm very familiar with rules committee tactics and I can only say they are never in the interest of conservatives, especially when the leadership is not!

That's why they are "appointed" to the rules committee in the first place!
