Jan. 6 House Speaker Vote: Conservative Coup Against Boehner?

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.

Are there any Republican CongressCritters left who HAVEN’T been blackmailed to follow in lock-step with the NWO Cabal and their puppet Odumbo? My my the NSA’s been busy the past six years. PATHETIC.

It’ll never happen...

It is not part of the plan...

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...

Toss _it_ ; all of the RINO system!

[SunkenCiv]

after the white supremacy scandal that has rocked Boehner's ally, House Majority Whip Steve Scalise

Yeah, I remember the same people complaining about the racists, skinheads, Holocaust deniers, and other assorted trash that work or used to work for Ron and Rand Paul. Oh, wait, they *defended* that...

Slate Discovers Scalise Did Not Attend White Supremacist Event

[hondact200]

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.

For anyone who missed it, Jim Robinson just posted his first video to his YouTube Channel! Happy New Year, Jim! May it be as successful as your other ventures in activism.

[Jim Robinson]

Thanks, but I just posted it. I received it via email.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

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.

[VerySadAmerican]

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

[VerySadAmerican]

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.
