Texas Republican Louie Gohmert said there is “real intimidation” happening in the fight to determine who will be the next speaker of the House of Representatives.
Gohmert announced Sunday that he is running for speaker to unseat John Boehner (R-Ohio). Glenn Beck warned him Monday that if he doesn’t win, his political future is over.
“If you don’t win, you’re toast,” Beck said. “And that’s exactly what they’re going to be saying [to those who don't vote for Boehner]. That’s what Boehner is saying to everybody right now. ‘Listen, you don’t vote for me, you don’t play ball with me now, you’re not getting on any committee. You’re not going to be heard from again.’”

Agreed...As much as I’d like to believe Boehner will be shown the door for the Speakers position it’s a longshot but I’m happy there are some that are coming forward to show him for what he is.
Maybe we’ll get lucky.
Worse yet...mine is Anna Eshoo.
We already know who Boehner’s chief hit men are-—McCarthy and Scalise.
The committee assignments are about campaign cash from the industries regulated.
Like so many others, Rohrabacher used to be a stalwart conservative. Not any more, and he is reliably for Boehner, I predict.
I don’t know, I haven’t seen one either. That’s another reason that it’s so important to get rid of the Boehner cabal. Conservatives will be openly driven out if this doesn’t work.
Duh! I have to stop letting him living rent-free in my head! Don’t I feel stupid!
If Louie Gohmert doesn’t win he needs to be the first member of a new party because he has a ton of supporters all over the country who want him to remain in Congress.
Why is there no secret ballot to elect the Speaker?
Watch as 3 quarters of the GOP stay home in 2016 John. One way or the other your political future is Tost, the only question is will you bring the whole party down with you.
He is a corrupt pig, and i got a feeling our voices will only get louder and more resolute as the year goes on and John Betrays the large majority of the Republican base all the more.
He will be villified and we will have the foundation for a 3rd party.
Got you ALL BEAT.
The zombies here in Broward county, FL voted in alcee hastings as my “rep”.
I’m in his district and emailed him yesterday. Hopefully he does the right thing. Otherwise, I might have to file papers to run against him in the 2016 primary.
Ha! What goes/ around comes around
Pointing out the backlash that Louie will get served to show the depth of his commitment. The fact that Louie is willing to risk it all shows he cares more about the Constitution than he does the cocktail parties.
The Freshmen REPS need to start RECORDING ANY AND ALL THREATS AND INTIMIDATION and release them to the MEDIA immediately.
Expose the back scene shenanigans and the sunlight will drive the RINO-pires away
[ Why is there no secret ballot to elect the Speaker? ]
It’s EXACTLY LIKE and G_DDAMED UNION THUG ELECTION...
