Jan. 6 House Speaker Vote: Conservative Coup Against Boehner?
thenewamerican.com ^ | 12/30/14 | Raven Clabough

Posted on 12/30/2014 3:12:39 PM PST by cotton1706

Conservative members of Congress are frustrated with House Speaker John Boehner’s (shown) leadership and are expected to opt for a change on January 6, when the official speaker’s election is held. While this vote is typically just a formality, conservative lawmakers are hoping to use the opportunity to remove the Ohio Republican, who has served as speaker since 2011.

After the November elections, Republicans had decided behind closed doors that they would be nominating Boehner (R-Ohio) for speaker and did not offer any other nominees.

“Rep. Boehner was selected as the House Republican Conference’s choice for Speaker last month,” Boehner aide Michael Steel wrote in an e-mail, “and he expects to be elected by the whole House next week.”

But some of the more conservative members of Congress are not on board. Fox News reports that some "disaffected conservative House Republicans" intend to "rebel and vote against John Boehner for speaker of the House" next month.

“Right now, I’ve been meeting with a small group, and we — about 16, 18 — and we’re hoping to have a name of a sitting member of Congress that we can call out their name,” North Carolina Rep. Walter Jones said in a local radio interview before Christmas.

And while most of those planning to vote against Boehner have remained quiet, some have subtly made their points. Representative Tom Massie (R-Ky.), for example, posted a photo of a sign on his Twitter that reads, “Next Speaker Please.”

Likewise, some newly-elected Republican members of the House campaigned on a pledge not to vote for Boehner and have indicated that they will stay true to that promise.

The vote in the republican caucus already happened, shortly after the election.

I’m a fan of conservative Marsha Blackburn for Speaker.

She can play the female card against both Boehner and Obama, AND she would be an awesome voice in a highly visible role speaking against Hillary/Warren in the 2016 campaign.

The vote in the republican caucus already happened, shortly after the election.

I wondered, though, if that vote was binding -- given that none of the new Reps had been seated. Obviously, it wasn't -- if as many as 25 GOP Reps are talking about not voting or Boehner.

Moreover, under the circumstances, does Boehner want to be embarrassed by a public vote? Wouldn't he want "a test of strength" behind closed doors first?

I would imagine there will be another vote by the caucus...

The possibility of Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) replacing a FIRED John Boehner was discussed a week ago in the many announcements for Free Republic's "National Day of Reckoning" rallies across the nation ...

What's going to ENCOURAGE the GOP House Members to FIRE John Boehner ?

A "massive" tidal wave of protest for this Saturday's rallies across America.

That means that "every" Patriot Man and Woman needs to ANSWER the CALL.

That means "You" and "I".

Be a part of the LOCAL spontaneous rallies taking place in over 265 U.S. Cities and Towns and Overpasses this Saturday.

GATHER YOUR own Local Rally team ! Use that Patriotic drive and God-Given intelligence to communicate an HISTORIC message to Washington's GOP political Aristocracy.

Get this Done !

Below are listed "nine" easy steps to planning a rally. Even Jimmy Carter could figure it out. So can you.

HOW WILL YOU FEEL ... Free Republic Patriot ... "if" John Boehner escapes FIRING because of a single GOP House vote ?

You'll feel ROTTEN. MISERABLE.


So ... in the SPIRIT of Mississippi's Chris McDaniels ...

I personally CHALLENGE every Free Republic member to "Infantry Up" and get involved this Saturday.


Don't you DARE coming whinning in January about John Boehner's Machavellian political treachery ...

Boehner should be tarred and feathered. maybe than he would get the picture he is nothing more than a chicken. Since he has no balls and no backbone. Obama is using the tar baby, Brer Rabbit is the Republican leadership under Boehner he goes to punch the tar baby and gets all gunked up with tar and there are Brer Bear and brer Fox just enjoying the republicans going at a tar baby.

One answer to Boehner and his incompentency/stupidity is for all the pro-Tea Party members of the House to drop out of the Republican Party to the point that the GOP only has a one or two vote majority over the Democrats.

Let the Tea Party caucus become the power player in helping the remaining GOP faction to pass legislation or to join the Democrats in opposing it as a way of both punishing the House’s Boehner/GOP clique and as a way to assert their bargaining power.

The last thing Boehner wants is a third party faction in the House because they will have him by the balls.

It would really be fun to watch boner cry over being kicked out of the speaker’s chair.

I’ve been saying the same thing. FORCE the rinos to vote publicly for and with the democrats. The bottom line is either the rinos want the majority or they don’t. If enough conservatives form a third party the democrats will have the majority. If that’s what the rinos want then make them say it publicly.
