Fox News anchor Sean Hannity, also a nationally syndicated radio host, is tripling down on his calls to demand new blood in House GOP leadership.
In the wake of Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) rebuffing his call to run against Speaker John Boehner after the white supremacy scandal that has rocked Boehner’s ally, House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, Hannity is calling on every Republican member of the House of Representatives to reconsider whether Boehner is in fact an effective leader.
“Every Republican member needs to ask themselves if John Boehner is really the best person to lead the conservative movement at this important time in history,” Hannity said in an email to Breitbart News. “Are they voting for him as a leader or for the Committee assignments they have been promised? The American people expect and deserve bold and dynamic and inspiring leaders. The next 2 years are critical for the country.”
Hannity said that if Republicans return to conservative principles by rejecting Boehner and installing a replacement, they will be “rewarded” with political victories in 2016’s crucial presidential election.

Hannity also called on House Financial Services Committee chairman Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-TX) to present himself as a challenger to Boehner. Hensarling, a former chairman of the Republican Study Committee and a Texas conservative with establishment credentials, has long been talked about as a potential Boehner opponent...

You are the action guy alright... riding my back while acting superior, acting conservative, acting like you are acting... LoL!
Latest “plan of action” thread posted by Jim Robinson for you to avoid:

No, for Boehner to lose he needs to fail to get the votes, someone will step up for the second ballot if that happens.
I defended myself from you constantly belittling me.
You didn’t know I relish exposing and smashing GOPe Trolls.
TS for you, numbest nuttest.
Sadly, you sound bitter and full of pain. Why, is that? Life is too short for you to spew the vitriol that you do. I'm sorry you are unhappy, but please don't let things like politics determine your happiness. Focus on the things around you, such as a spouse (if there is one - you are blessed) or children, siblings or plain friends. There is so much you can do for others that will bring a smile to their face and let them know you love them. Cherish each day for it will never return.
Sorry to break it to you Dave, but I am not unhappy.
Thought I made that pretty clear by laughing at you.
But since you like to get personal with bringing family into this (oh no - you are not a Troll - LoL!) then let’s look at your real issue...
It is very sad that you have absolutely nothing in your life worth mentioning (Dave W hasn’t created an about page.), even though you have been signed up since 1997 (Btw - I seen Trolls from the 90’s get the ZOT).
Not even a single statement, quote, show of support, or anything that could be understood as conservative, I might add.
Seems fairly obvious here, that to fill the loneliness of your dreadful existence, you need to grasp at any chance to belittle others online.
May I suggest a pet kitten or puppy?
You know, something that is not capable of being put off by your smarmy GOPe superior attitude at its cost - just because there is no other way to inflate your self important ego trip that has driven everyone far from your life.
Btw for the second time you have been slapped down on your “facts”.
Don’t you have a response to post 93 or 103?
Or are you the Cop Out you insulted me with?
Or are you living with the wishful fantasy, that you belittled me with, that I didn’t notice those slap downs of you on the facts?
Sounds like a plan.
It was not meant as an insult, but it is obvious you can't handle it when someone simply disagrees with you and you respond in a way I would expect a democrat would, as a hate filled and very unhappy person.
I'm not going to stoop to your level, but I will repeat that on Tuesday, Boehner will be chosen as Speaker of the House. The main reason is that no one is running against him. If someone had announced their availability for the Speakership a few months ago or so and was working hard to secure support, then I believe there would be a chance - that it is possible. However, since no other republican has announced that they are running for the Speaker's job, it seems like Boehner is safe.
There are always a few members who vote present and those votes don't count against Boehner. I suspect there will be 5 or 6 republican members voting present, but those votes are not included in the overall tally. A member has to vote for a person - so let's say a total of 10 members on both sides of the aisle abstain by voting present, Boehner needs only 213 votes to win as opposed to 218 votes if all 435 members voted for a person. Trust me, those members know that voting present does no harm to Boehner's standing...now if they voted for you or Sarah Palin, then it would hurt Boehner. Regardless, Boehner is a careful politician and he knows at this moment, who is voting for him, voting present or voting for someone else.
Unfortunately, I have little expectation for Boehner to do much for the conservative cause, but I do believe there will be tremendous pressure on him to accommodate the conservative base. So we will have to see how Boehner performs, but he hasn't given us much to hope for based on the past, but we can always be surprised.
I wish you well.
Not knowing me personally didn’t stop you from stooping so low as to attack me on my relationships with my family.
Which is something so low that I can`t recall having seen it done before.
You are without a doubt the most nasty piece of work I have ever seen on FR and we could never know each other personally because I don’t hang-out with the GOPe, Liberals or Terrorists.
I am nothing like you. I posted in this thread giving encouragement to Jim Robinson and other like minded Conservative to get Boehner out while there is a chance to do so. No matter how small a chance, it is still worth the effort and even if failed - the political statement against him is important to make.
You have shown a distinct lack of political savvy in surrendering so quickly without a fuss, or you are a sleeper GOPe Troll, or both. I am going with both.
After I posted encouragement to fellow Conservatives, you came into the thread slinging daggers with the most belittling and superior attitude that you thought you could get away with:
“LOL...Where does this wishful fantasy come from?”
You obviously were seeking confrontation so you got it, then you doubled down with your insults:
“Implosion is not sufficient explanation and is a cop out. It smacks of wishful fantasy again.”
You are a GOPe Troll, not a very bright one and you got the confrontation your nasty inner drive was seeking. Only more than you expected as I had to sink to your level and then see you flame me about my family, which again is the lowest I have ever seen. Hope you are proud of that, David.
One of us came into the thread supporting Conservatives in an effort, no matter how small the chance.
The other came in like a real azzclown looking to Troll and ultimately insulting a FReeper about his family.
In light of that fact, your latest insulting and defensive post convinces me you are actually not normal, and even far from it.
