The tea party’s New Year’s resolution? Fire John Boehner [Dump Boehner!]
Washington Times ^ | December 28, 2014 | By Judson Phillips

2014 turned out to be the year the Republican Party had long waited for. Finally, the GOP took control of the Senate and set a record for the number of seats it controlled in the House of Representatives.

As we all know, it did not take the Republicans long to blow it.

A month after its incredible victory, the GOP squandered its mandate, surrendering to the Democrats. The GOP led House of Representatives did not proclaim its mandate and hold off on major decisions until the Republican majority in the Senate was sworn in. No, they went to the GOP position of preemptive surrender and gave President Obama and the Democrats almost everything they wanted.

Despite the pleas and demands from the base, the GOP did nothing to stop Mr. Obama’s executive amnesty. They even rewarded left wing billionaires who had spent millions to keep the Democrats in power by extending so-called “Green Energy” subsidies.

The architect of the Republican surrender was House Speaker John Boehner.

Mr. Boehner has no love for the tea party. The feeling is mutual.

I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade - and would also love to see cry baby given the boot. But....the solution is not to just get rid of ONE RINO. Congress is full of them.

The country needs an entire reset. We are heading to all out fascism and have been for some time now. It has been incremental, so we’ve just accepted each step, getting adjusted to that before the next one was taken. Look at all the taxes we pay - on every utility bill, state sales tax, property taxes, income taxes, all the taxes disguised as fees.

On top of that, we have the curtailment of our liberties. Also done incrementally.

It took just one tax for our founding fathers to decide enough was enough.

Calling’s fine. Writing’s better. I sent money to about a dozen different people in this past election all of whom won. Now I’ve taken up sending them all a short note “FIRE BOEHNER.” And I send it on the back of one of my Term Limits posters. A wheelbarrow full of fire Boner mail setting in the front office has to be motivational. I make it plain to each newbie that they have ONLY one chance to get it right.

It’s time for y’all to do a bit more than kibitz on FR.

I called and wrote, but the RINOs will just hand their dialectic ping pong paddle to another of his ilk.

Read Romans 1:25+

The only way out is through.

Nature will take its course and destroy that which has become a self-worshiping abomination.

After that, maybe He will raise something up out of America’s ashes... or maybe not.

As for me and mine - we will serve the Lord.

Publicly ignore and censure him before the nomination of the incoming conservative Congress.

Time to de-Bone the Speaker!!!

I see no problem with my rep, Huelskamp supporting Boehner’s ouster as he did before and the republican establishment tried to make him pay for that.

One thing, according to a KC Star article, was some rich Washington DC RINO, spent a ton of money trying to primary Huelskamp but it failed as we Kansans know, Huelskamp is the real deal. Funny, the KC Star never revealed who that RINO was who spent all that money to try to primary him.

Payback’s a b****, RINO establishment!

my wish for boner in 2015 is that he has unlimited time for his tan, and crying in private for a change.

Good morning, Jim! Happy New Year!

Maybe I’m stupid this morning, but I don’t see how standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Nancy Pelosi and Debbie Schultz to remove the leader who DECREASED Obama’s hold on the House in 2010, 2012 and 2014 helps America.

How do we know the “Dump Boehner” movement is not financed by corrupt Democrats, trying to “win back” their losses by post-election cheating?

Agreed — But I do not believe that is clear enough.

I think we should also rally around a named replacement for Boehner; someone who could provide a focal point for support.

My problem is I have no idea who most folks would agree on and I’m open to suggestion.

First rule of mutiny is that it absolutely HAS to be successful. If the king survives a coup, he is in a position to take revenge.

It would be ideal if the vote for leadership was taken in secret. I bet there would be a lot more votes against Boehner if individual representatives could vote there conscience without fear of reprisal.

Boehner should be replaced, but those who are throwing Steve Scalise under the bus in order to do it are dispicable.
