I also heard Jamie Dupree this morning say that new rep Jody Hice will also vote against Boehner, but no confirmation yet.
We need to de-Boehne another 0 lapdog...
Good news and Mitch McConnell should be on the same list.
He is a rat that has been neutralized and compromised.
Nine have “publicly” declared against Boehner. Just think how many anti-Boehner votes are under the radar. I’m telling ya; this thing is doable.
I'm a bit disgusted even if Boehner is dumped. Why? The number should be at least 50 by now if their campaign rhetoric was anything but a sick joke to deceive voters.
House Republicans need to get this thing done and remove Boehner. He is a liar and not fit to lead anything.
Please Boehner, just go away and cry somewhere ya big damn gub mint RINO puke.
Good point. It seems that GOP voters have an endless capacity to accept being lied to and deceived. They keep voting for one thing only to get more of the same year after year. There’s a word for this.
Why are these Reps waiting until the very last moment to announce their opposition to Boehner? They should gotten this train rolling earlier. It takes time to begin building momentum and get the whole thing rolling at full speed!

I agree, but:
#1. Some of them are Freshmen just arriving and it’s prolly scary to go against one of the most powerful persons in D.C.
#2. I’m sure a lot of the incumbents, returning to Congress, are “flying under the radar” right now to protect their Committee assignments and
Assuming Boehner did lie to Stutzman as has been reported, it would be disappointing to see Stutzman continue to support Boehner. Equally disappointing is that more of the House majority aren’t joining in ousting a conniving liar from leadership.
Perfect illustration of what is wrong with Congress. Members prostituting themselves for positions of power.

My guess is that they’re keeping their cards close to the vest, so that the leadership couldn’t plan ahead. I hope that Cruz is helping them coordinate

Trust me R_D 232; there have been “goings on” behind closed doors for weeks. The momentum is with the “Dump Boehner” movement right now. This is the time to peak and it’s happening. We only need 30 Pubbies to vote for anyone but Boehner to keep him from getting the 218 votes needed, on the first ballot. This thing is doable. Let’s work our butts off today to keep the phone lines, to every Congress Critter in D.C., ringing off the hook.
That's exactly my point. Most, if not all, of those just arriving campaigned as constitutional conservatives. Independents and even crossover dems voted for them because their campaign rhetoric was to go to DC, get rid of the likes of Boehner, NOT compromise on the very issues Boehner sold them out on before they even got to DC.
If they can't do that one small thing...keeping their first promise....they're WORSE than Dems. Why? They've taken an HOR seat from someone who might actually have been a constitutional conservative and meant the promises that got so many elected.
My fingers are burning the keyboard, I'm so fed up. We shouldn't give these newcomers or for that matter anyone who campaigned hard for the conservative vote even a whiff of an excuse if they traitor us. I repeat, those that do are WORSE THAN DEMS. That's because that would mean they bare-*ssed lied to get conservative votes and stole an HOR seat from a true conservative.
Grrrr.....
You won’t get any argument out of me. If the newly elected Congress critters can’t run with the big-dogs, then stay on the frickin’ porch and we will Primary you in 2016.
neutralized = neutered
DITTO!
