I believe that Boehner will either win big or lose big. Most members will not have the courage to vote against him unless they are convinced that they will be on the winning side. Some, including my own representative, may pay a price for being a fence sitter. Of course, if they vote against Boehner and he wins, they will pay both a personal and political price.
As of this moment, I predict that Boehner wins, but the ultimate winners under that scenario will be the Democrats.
I disagree totally. If they back down on the promises they made to voters for their own personal convenience, they've sold their souls and backed down on principle. It isn't about them, it's about representing constitutional conservative principles.
If they don't see that, they were never on our side to begin with. If they vote for Boehner they're worse than Democrats. With the dems, we know which side they're on.
They need to develop a thick skin like Louie and be willing to take their cause to the people. I'm tired of the Dems and the RINOs.
“I believe that Boehner will either win big or lose big.”
Why would Pelosi’s caucus vote against Boehner? He supports their agenda. I keep hearing we need 29 votes? Think what we really need is 129. If we can get more than 50% of Republicans to vote against Boehner, he will have to step down.
