John Boehner Embarrassed: His Whip Team Couldn’t Find Votes To Reelect Him Speaker Last Week
Breitbart ^ | 8/2/15 | Matthew Boyle

Posted on 08/02/2015 6:32:38 PM PDT by jimbo123

House Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) had been planning to call up on the House floor last week a measure from Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) that would have removed him as Speaker of the House if it succeeded—intending to embarrass Meadows—but abandoned the plan after his entire leadership structure learned that they did not have the votes to re-elect him as Speaker before the August recess.

“[House Majority Leader Kevin] McCarthy was making phone calls—he was whipping it—and so was [House Majority Whip] Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA),” a senior conservative movement leader who’s had many personal and direct discussions with various House GOP members about this told Breitbart News in an interview last week.

“I know members personally who were called by Steve Scalise. So they had the entire leadership whip team frantically making phone calls to members to whip the vote because they wanted to attempt to embarrass Meadows and call the vote [on Wednesday last week] so it’s not hanging over Boehner’s head.

“What they found out was the exact opposite. They found out bad things would happen, that literally they would be calling the vote without knowing what would happen. Therefore, they did not call the vote and now they have this issue hanging over John Boehner’s head for the next five weeks.”

Drunk and a crybaby.

I know our politicians were drunks way back when, but how can boner get away with it in the information age? Photos and videos can be taken by caddies and bartenders everywhere. Why don't drunken binges leak out?

They told me they don’t care what I have to say. I’m simply following their instructions as to not upset the little dears.

Too bad the good guys are not quite smart enough to lie when asked and say they support Boehner and then vote to oust him once the vote is held. Instead, they tip their hand and he finds out that he might get canned so he refuses to bring it up for a vote. Even the morons on Survivor understand the art of blindsiding your opponent

“Him being booted from leadership would be the best news I’ve heard since Republicans took the majority”

I quit the Republican party last year when they reelected Boohoo.

They ran as conservatives, promised to rule that way - and the first thing they did was reelect the same old RINOs. I knew they were going to stab us in the back again.

As long as you’re still willing to rip into them when they push the liberal-republican screed “But if you don’t vote for Jebby Hillary will thank you!”

Time to activate your people and give them the truth. Most people these are well educated and many have dealt with drinkers who don’t believe they have any issues in their own families.

I’m betting that somewhere in there is an attempt to veil and positive spin Planned Parenthood’s ghoulish activities.
Probably in regards to: “ and change the federal government’s role in biomedical research and funding.” and “Accelerating the discovery, development, and delivery of life-saving cures”

  • The first real entitlement reform in nearly two decades, which is on track to save taxpayers $2.9 trillion;
  • The first 10-year balanced budget blueprint since 2001; and
  • New tools to fight human trafficking; improve veterans' care; and advance free trade and American jobs.

    She also ticks off some items Congress is working on, saying that “we are just getting started”:

  • Fixing the VA to help veterans get the care they need it when they need it;
  • Accelerating the discovery, development, and delivery of life-saving cures; and
  • Education reform so that every child has a chance to go to great schools no matter where they're from.

    For more, watch the address in English and Spanish, and check out these headlines:

  • “GOP touts productive legislative record… In their own video, Republicans boasted of their legislative record in the latest session of Congress… Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Washington, ticked off Saturday a list of legislative accomplishments, including enacting Medicare reform, expiring bulk collection of phone data, ensuring Congress has some say in approving the recently negotiated Iran nuclear deal, and adding more resources to fight human trafficking. … She went on to list bills still on the agenda, including legislation to reform education standards, modernize the VA system, and change the federal government's role in biomedical research and funding.” (CBS News)

  • “GOP rep: Congress ‘just getting started’ on progress. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) on Saturday touted her party’s recent legislative efforts, promising the GOP-led Congress would keep improving life for everyday Americans. …. McMorris Rodgers praised Congress for its efforts against human trafficking, improving care for military veterans and advancing U.S. trading abroad. … She said improving the Veterans’ Affairs system and medical solutions are coming moves in the future. ‘Of course, we have much more to do,’ McMorris Rodgers said. ‘Dozens of effective solutions to deliver you real results are in the works.’” (The Hill)

  • “GOP: 7 months into a Republican-controlled Congress and 'we're just getting started.’ The first seven months of a new Republican-controlled Congress have ended, and House Republican Conference Chair Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., wants Americans to know the GOP is just beginning its work to provide solutions for the American people. McMorris Rodgers provided a list of things the GOP is happy to have accomplished, including ending the bulk collection of phone data, enacting some entitlement reforms, and passing the first balanced budget plan to make it through both chambers since 2001.” (Washington Examiner)

    “McMorris Rodgers: GOP-Controlled Congress 'Just Getting Started'…

  • A GOP-controlled Congress in just seven months has enacted entitlement reform, balanced the budget, improved veterans' care, protected phone data privacy and ensured a congressional say in an Iran nuclear deal, but is ‘just getting started,’ Washington Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers said Saturday. … Still, there's ‘much more to do,’ she said, including bills to accelerate the discovery, development, and delivery of life-saving innovations; reduce the power of the federal government in education; and modernize the VA system.” (Newsmax)
