So are you ready to think outside the box? Conservatives are upset with Republican leaders in Congress and GOP candidates for not using all the tools available to them and not being creative in finding new solutions to stubborn and difficult problems. So are we using all our tools? Conservative activists need to be innovative, open-minded, creative, and persistent in finding the key levers of power and influence. Are you doing what you want our leaders to do?
I nominate, for the sake of discussion, Christine O’Donnell. I’m not optimistic she would do it, even though she has understood in the past the priority of saving the country. But if you have a better suggestion, let’s hear it. It must be someone with huge notoriety, so they would get news coverage and conservatives would donate. Most of all, it has to be someone who cares enough about the country to take real action. Too often those who are willing aren’t able and those who are able aren’t willing.
Simple, straightforward.
Boehner is bad for the country, bad for the caucus, and bad for your congressman.
Yes. Boehner needs a job he can handle. Maybe janitorial services.
Sarah Palin?
Pat Caddell conservative?
As much as I can’t stand Boehner, I can’t abide by carpetbagging.
“A big-name conservative should move now into Ohio’s 8th”
That makes A LOT OF SENSE. Just as the article mentions (or doesn’t, haven’t read it yet), even a little twit like Brat forced Cantor to “Act” Conservative, at least until he swatted Brat out of the way (which, of course, the reverse happened).
Have a conservative in Boener’s district pose a credible threat to him and he will become a LOT MORE conservative, especially given the Cantor experience. You can BET YOUR LIFE ON IT.
Activity to topple the Boehnheads in the primaries for the next elections must visibly begin now.
Boehner is not up for reelection till 2016. Removing him NOW as Speaker should be the goal.
We don’t need him removed from the Republican Party (although that would be nice), just remove his power.
Conservative Americans cannot afford to wait 2 years in HOPES of beating Boehner at the polls. If they don’t, should they wait 2 more years, rinse & repeat every 2 years until our country is an impoverished USSA?
The immediate way to depose Boehner is for 60 Conservative Congressmen threaten to change their party affiliation to Independent, leaving Boehner without a majority in the House, losing his Speaker’s job to Pelosi.
I seriously doubt Boehner would allow that to happen to the Party. I doubt the GOPe would let it happen, either. It could easily destroy the GOP & be the beginnings of a REAL conservative party. Dumping Boehner is a cheap price to pay to maintain the majority in the House.
This tactic would make it clear the House conservatives mean serious business, & there is little substantive Boehner could do about it.
If the House tactic is successful, the Senate Conservatives could do the same thing to McConnell.
The “wait until next time” (WUNT) crowd doesn’t seem to see the crises this nation faces financially, socially, & world wide. Frankly, I thing the WUNT crowd are really the GOPe trying to maintain their hold on power, regardless of what this does to Americans.
