It’s On: Rep. Mark Meadows Makes Move To Unseat Boehner As Speaker Immediately
Big Government ^ | July 28 2015 | by MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 07/28/2015 4:17:12 PM PDT by Hojczyk

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC)96% has filed a motion aimed at unseating Boehner immediately as Speaker of the House.

“Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) has filed a motion to try to force Speaker John Boehner from his leadership post,” Politico wrote in a breaking news alert. “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.”

It’s unclear if this will be successful, but over the past few years there have been two major coup attempts at Boehner. Both were unsuccessful—but extraordinarily close to succeeding—and centered around plays at the beginning of this Congress and the beginning of the last Congress.

This move will focus on centering around a different strategy, and it all comes after Boehner’s leadership team unsuccessfully attempted retaliation against Meadows for opposing Obamatrade. They had tried to pull a subcommittee chairmanship from Meadows—and did so, but then reversed themselves under enormous pressure from the GOP conference and the American people, turning Meadows into a conservative movement hero of sorts.

Boehner’s office has not immediately responded to a request for comment but conservative movement stalwarts including nationally syndicated radio host Mark Levin have called for his ouster in recent days.

Meadows is a highly respected conservative member of the House and is intricately involved in the House Freedom Caucus. He’s plugged in party-wide, and wouldn’t be doing this if he didn’t think it could be successful.

The Honorable Mark Meadows is the 11th District Congressman from North Carolina. He is an exceptional leader and statesman. He has a 96% Liberty rating and truly puts his constituents before party. A very rare individual in this day and time. We are blessed to have in North Carolina.

Excellent!
We can hope that this development represents, at least, the beginning of the reclamation of the Conservative roots of the Republican party. Or...the fracturing of the party completely, from which will spring a new and vibrant conservative party to resurrect this grand experiment.

Sadly, history would tend to indicate this is just another gas bubble in the gut of the GOPe.

If he’s voting for Boner to be Speaker, he needs to be Cantorized.

I received a Questionair from the RNC today.

My reply was:

I decline to waste my time telling you what you SHOULD ALREADY KNOW.

Futhermore, you will not receive another dime from me until the SPINELESS, CRYBABY, obama butt licker John Boehner is GONE and replaced with some LEADERSHIP that will stand up to the forces hell bent on destroying this country. Have a nice day.

PS: I’m voting for TRUMP!

PSS: You can take Jeb and shove it!

“After the last couple of years you still don’t know Who is with us and who is against us? Shaking my head.”

You can “shake your head” all you want, but this kind of action will pull down the smokescreen unlike anything that could be done. And as a matter of fact, I don’t “know” most of the 435 members of the house. The Senate is another matter, that place is almost 100% worthless turds!

Still shaking my head because ‘smoking them out’ has worked so well so far.

He wasn’t voting “For” Bohner, he was screwing his Constituents to get a Gavel from Bohner ! And I find that even WORSE!
He is either Compromised or a Sellout, either way he betrayed those of us that voted for him!

We threw out Cantor last year because of what a weasel he was. It’s not that hard if you can find the right candidate. Primaries are a much smaller pool of voters.

So Sheana, you’ve just thrown in the towel is that it? Maybe you should be emigrating to Australia or New Zealand! I mean “we’ve tried everything.” right!

Congress has to Lie to us every 2 years, it makes it easier, though they still seem to be able to Homestead...
It was (I believe) that it was important to Blake to get the Gavel... PISSED me off that he would trade his next Election prospect on the exact OPPOSITE of what he ran on ...
It was worse than that! His LAST VOTE of his First Term was a the Betrayal, His First Vote of His Second Term was the Cover-up and he thought we were Too Stupid to see what he did... We have been Hammering him ever since, We have yet to find a Replacement, as soon as we do, the clown will go back to fixing Computers.
