House conservative seeks Boehner's ouster [Mark Meadows]
Politico ^ | 07/28/2015 | Jake Sherman and Lauren French

Posted on 07/28/2015 3:05:37 PM PDT by GIdget2004

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) has filed a motion to try to force Speaker John Boehner from his leadership post. The move, called a motion to vacate the chair, represents a new level of opposition to GOP leadership from the conservative wing of the House Republican Conference. The motion can be postponed for several days before consideration.

The resolution was filed late Tuesday afternoon, just one day before the House was slated to depart for its summer recess.

Some advice I received along the way.

Polictally, never shoot to wound. If you are going to shoot, shoot to kill.

God speed Mark.

That would be nice but it won’t happen. Most will just be POed at conservatives for delaying their vacations.

Then let us melt down the phones to the Hill, and tell everyone we know to do so as well.

It is time not for him to vacate the speakers position but to resign Ditto that for McConnell.

As long as they vote, the fakes, and corrupt frauds will be exposed.

Regardless of the outcome.

Weeping Cheeto? LOL, perfect!

And, on the Senate side, might I suggest...

Squi-Mitch McConnell?

Nice. The Trump effect is all over the place. All of the sudden Republicans are showing some guts. This is totally awesome. Wonder if a critical mass can be had where Republicans are at the beginnings of a major coup in the pub party?

RE: "God bless Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.)!"

In the words of Nelson Rockefeller's public relations head, Stuart Spencer, "We had have to destroy Barry Goldwater Mark Meadows as a member of the human race."

Those RNC folks play for keeps.

Agreed, lfjhn23. First, get him out of the Speakership. Then, let him and all the put him in stand the scrutiny of their constituents at the next election. Might not be much of a change, but we can still pray...

If Boehner doesn’t compromise I suppose this, or a similar but ‘privileged’ motion, WILL be voted on.
Good timing having this on constituents’ minds while Members are home on break.
The refusal of the RINOs to compromise *at all* has stumped me for years. It’s not the way things are usually done in DC.

Sign me up! Anything to get rid of “Limp Boner” the Beach Bum.

Then it’s on to “Tom Turkey McConnell”, aka “The Gobbler”.

Ted Cruz was kicking ass and taking names when your boy was still a Democrat. Or an Independent. Or whatever he claims to be these days.

Re the picture of McConnell and Boehner at a bar.

New caption:

“Mr. McConnell will have a Red Turkey and I’ll have a Shirley Temple with a beach umbrella”.

Yes! But he just does not have the media skills Trump has. Does not mean he cannot learn them. Cruz needs to have the same skills. e is at a major disadvantage right now.

I’m not optimistic, but they should try everything - over and over.

Most Congressmen have been bought and paid for....

There is no doubt in my mind now.

We have been sold out....

Why...would very little opposition be given Hussein over the Iran deal?

Why would very little opposition be done over ObamaCare?

Why...when the GOPe won the House...would very little opposition be given to ANY THING Hussein, has done??? Bonehead...and McConnell are to blame...because they are BOUGHT AND PAID FOR!! Along with anyone up there...that's been there 12 years!!!

I'm done with the GOPe.....
