[House Atreides]

COWARD!

[Da Coyote]

Speak to the hand, Muldorkvey.

You are a traitor.

No matter, though, thanks to you and your fellos spineless RINOS, the GOP is dead.

Now, go to the john, cram your head deep into it, and flush.

This’ll be a good prelude to your future life in the house of critters.

You are slime.

So help me; if Rush tries his same bull sh*t about how 3rd parties will never work, I’m through listening to him. If there were ever a time where a new party could emerge it is now! We’ve learned that working within the corrupt Republican Party is an abject waste of time.

I’m done being a team player in the GOP!

[mulligan]

What a bunch of political BS. You did and do what you said you would do yet America continues down the road to disaster. You politicians are all corrupt and care little about our nation.

[EverRight]

So glad he doesn’t represent me. Proud of my Rep., Walter B. Jones!

[353FMG]

The Weeper won again.

[Revelation 911]

First, I learned two years ago that people lie about how they are going to vote. And you cannot go into this kind of fight with people you do not trust.

ACTUALLY - voting according to your constituents wishes, with no regard towards other congresswads would be the ethical thing to do - but hey - we are expecting perfume from horse piles

"... what I said I would do when I came to Washington: fight to cut spending, stop bad legislation, work to repeal Obamacare, and hold the President accountable for his actions."

Well, you're doing a piss-poor job of it. Mission NOT ACCOMPLISHED.

In the private sector, spectacular failure is answered by termination. 'I tried real hard' doesn't cut it.

“Attempt to oust”. Why have elections at all, since boner clearly has some divine right to the post

That thread wasn't designed to be a pity party ...

So ... a genuine "thanks" for the Segway here ...



Several months in the future "Obama-Boehner Event ABC-XYZ" will require a massive public-political action ...

Question-1 : Should Free Republic even consider getting involved ? (Yes/No)

Question-2 : "IF" yes ... how should Free Republic be "pre-organized" for an EFFECTIVE response


2-A) "Free Republic Action Teams" set-up in advance ?

2-B) "Free Republic Action Teams" set-up in ALL fifty-seven (57) state chapters ?

2-C) "Information Infrastructure" (Congressional Telephone Numbers, Rally Locations) already be set-up and ready ?

2-D) Free Republic "coordination" with other Patriot groups ?

2-D-1) Red State (Erick Erickson) ?

2-D-2) Freedom Works (Matt Kibbe) ?

2-D-3) Overpassses For America (James Neighbors) ?

2-D-4) National Tea Party Patriots (Daveda Gruber) ?

2-D-5) Overpasses for Impeachment (Roger Ogden) ?

2-D-6) Stop The Busses (Stella)?

2-D-6) Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Beck, Josh Bernstein, Jon Matthews, Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Mark Davis, Joe Pags, etc.

2-D-7) Tea Party / 912 STATE groups

2-D-8) THE DRUDGE REPORT media interface contact

2-D-9) An "Action-Rally Graphic/Tag-Link" on the Free Republic website masthead ?



Only Jim Robinson can decide this question for Free Republic; after all he's the Founder and genius behind Free Republic.



"Thanks" Big Red Badger for asking the $ 10 million dollar question ...

Look at his voting record?

I see he voted for Bonehead.

[NorthMountain]

I understand people’s frustration and anger over what is happening in Washington. And I also acknowledge that John Boehner may be partly to blame.

Boehner partly to blame???? Backstabbing leftist scumbag Boehner is in it up to his eyeballs.

[Logical me]

Think about this Mulvaney. Bonehead and King Obama want the same kind of America. Bonehead has done nothing to oppose King Obama and never will. America is in the dump and the next two years will see the soil turned over the trash and buried forever. Think about that, ass hat.

[Blennos]

...coup attempts against the Speaker, and what I learned two years ago factored heavily in my decision today not to join the mutiny.

I understand now. The opposition to the current Speaker was a "coup" and a "mutiny," not a perfectly lawful vote to reflect the wishes of the people's representatives. These are not words of a man of principle.

[anonsquared]

McClintock also issued a statement yesterday. (see below) He makes a good point about what happened in California. He does hint at the possibility of removing the speaker in a future coup and lets hope they have the votes to do it. At some point real conservatives in the House need to ride into the fray at the exact moment the GOPe are bartering with the other side for more lands and title for themselves (remember the scene from Braveheart?) and get the battle started.

Statement by Congressman Tom McClintock
On the Election of the House Speaker

January 6, 2014

I am disappointed in Mr. Boehner’s leadership of the House and have expressed my concerns on many occasions. But shifting this decision from the House Republican Conference to the House Floor opens a Pandora’s Box.

The election of the House Speaker is a decision that is made by the House majority caucus. That decision is then enacted through a formal vote on the House floor by the unanimous action of that majority.

The Republican majority voted at its November meeting to re-elect John Boehner as Speaker after no member stepped forward to challenge him. Some have suggested now shifting that decision from the House Republican Conference to the House floor, where 29 Republicans can combine with Democrats to thwart it.

Conservatives should beware. On its worst day, the collective judgment of the Republican majority is much more conservative than that of the overall House membership. Shattering Republican unity in the election of Speaker is not likely to end with a more conservative alternative, but rather with a coalition of the most liberal House Republicans and House Democrats.

This happened in the California Assembly in 1994. Dissident Republicans broke with the Republican majority on the vote for Speaker, enlisting the votes of minority Democrats in exchange for a wholesale transfer of power. Though voters had elected a Republican majority, this coalition effectively gave Democrats control of the Assembly.

The proper place to contest a Republican speaker is in the House Republican Conference. At any meeting, a member may put a no-confidence motion to the conference and, if adopted, set the stage for a House vote to vacate the office and elect a successor. However, this requires every member of the Conference to respect the collective decision – a long-enduring precedent that would be destroyed by the proposed strategy. I cannot support it.
