Mark Meadows Aims to Banish John Boehner: “the people at My Back is Better than DC in My Pocket”

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) visited Breitbart News Sunday to discuss why he initiated a “motion to vacate the chair” aimed to oust Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) as the GOP leader in the House of Representatives.

Meadows filed the request at the end of July to prompt a “family conversation” within the GOP on the future of the House leadership. “It’s really more about trying to have a conversation on making this place work, where everybody’s voice matters, where there’s not a punitive culture,” he said before congress broke for recess in August.

In the last 105 years, only once has such a maneuver been attempted. If he is successful in forcing the election of a new speaker it would be the first time in U.S. history.

Earlier in the year, the congressman, who Breitbart News Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon referred to as “one of the most courageous men in the House of Representatives and an American hero,” was at the center of a House squabble. GOP leadership stripped Meadows of an Oversight and Government Reform subcommittee chairmanship when he voted against the rule that allowed for consideration of President Obama’s request for fast-track authority (TPA) to negotiate the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). Meadows regained his post as chairman after fellow conservatives expressed outrage, but ill feelings remain.

Meadows told Bannon, who hosts Breitbart News Sunday airing on Sirius XM Patriot radio, channel 125, at 7 pm ET, “ We need a change in Washington D.C., regardless of party. Most Americans know that the way business is being done is broken and we have got to change that. And I appreciate Breitbart for addressing the topic.”

“the people at My Back is Better than DC in My Pocket”

So.. this mook doesn't know the difference between "is" and "are"?

[GunsareOK]

I’d say Boehner is the mook.

It was beyond comprehension that HOR conservatives got the conservative reinforcements they said they needed, yet couldn't bring together enough votes to oust Boehner. Why? To preserve their place on committees? What good is a place on a committee or in the HOR at all if Boehner is Speaker?

It's all rigged. They're probably in a back room somewhere figuring out who can vote to save Boehner and still be re-elected. Unless they as a group find a way to take the Speakership away from Boehner, they're complicit.

JMHO

We have learned a lot over the last years.

Here are two of the most important lessons:

1 - An airheaded, America hating, illegal alien, muslim sympathizing, homosexual, racist, socialist does not make a good president.

2 - A blubbering drunk does not make a good majority leader in the House of Representatives.

You’re the blog police AND the grahmer poLice!

[humblegunner]

I’m not the one butchering the language.

No police credentials are required to point out errors.

[stephenjohnbanker]

Those are indeed the two givens.

[Naplm]

oh the days when there were many thoughtful responses on FR. Now one needs to constantly wade through muck such as yours to engage. Go get some air.

Two lines of text impedes you?

Damn. You're probably too weak for any of this.

“Having the people at My Back is Better than having D.C. in My Pocket”

The composer of this thread’s headline is the culprit.

Click on his name—I find that surprising seeing as how he’s still posting.

Boehner has been bought and paid for by the best lobbyists in DC

Boehner’s mafia-like tactics are used to gain support for bills that ultimately enable Obama instead of stopping the unconstitutional behavior of this regime. American’s have been demanding that representatives stop Obama. Recall that it was Boehner who took impeachment off the table. Boehner’s lap dogs attempt to make a case for Boehner’s success with the claim that Boehner has passed more bills than any other Congress in history—mostly bills that support Obama’s agenda thus Liberal media is also supportive of Boehner. However, most Americans understand the principles of our constitutional founding, and thus understand that the success of Congress is NOT measured by how many bills Congress can pass… but rather by how many bills they can prevent and block—the slow percolation of legislation.(Click For More)

From the day he arrived, Boehner made it clear that out lobbyists wouldn’t get past his receptionists until we wrote out checks for the maximum amounts allowed and that if we wanted consideration for our legisaltive initiatives, those checks had better keep coming.

He demanded invitations to Realtor conventions at locations where he could play golf. Boehner cares more for golf than he does for the needs of his constituents. In 2009, his campaign fund spent $82,998 for golf outings for himself and his cronies.(Click For More)

A September 2010 New York Times story said Boehner was "Tightly Bound to Lobbyists" and "He maintains especially tight ties with a circle of lobbyists and former aides representing some of the nation’s biggest businesses, including Goldman Sachs, Google, Citigroup, R.J. Reynolds, MillerCoors and UPS.".(Click For More)

John Boehner will be the new Speaker of the House. Boehner is a corrupt, votes for sale, old-school politician. He doesn’t give a damn about the people who elected him to office. All he cares about are the fat-cat lobbyists who deliver the big Political Action Committee Checks.(Click For More)

In June 1995, Boehner distributed campaign contributions from tobacco industry lobbyists on the House floor as House members were weighing how to vote on tobacco subsidies. In a 1996 documentary by PBS called The People and the Power Game, Boehner said "They asked me to give out a half dozen checks quickly before we got to the end of the month and I complied. And I did it on the House floor, which I regret. I should not have done. It's not a violation of the House rules, but it's a practice that‘s gone on here for a long time that we're trying to stop and I know I'll never do it again."(Click For More)

Boehner sobs when others are celebrating. It’s something deeper: Boehner cries for Boehner. In 2010, for instance, Boehner cried because he won an award from the anti-abortion group Americans United for Life. In exactly the same way he cried about not being able to see kids at school because he longs for them to achieve the American dream like he did, Boehner’s reaction to the award was purely narcissistic: He seemed to be crying about his own childhood and the pain he felt in his own youth, not for the constituency that gave him the award: “I have 11 brothers and sisters,” he blubbered, “I know it wasn’t convenient for my mom to have 12 of us, but I’m sure glad they’re all here.”(Read more Here)

I have emails concerning Boehner's crying. I am trying to find a source to verify those. It is said that Boehner has been coached. He has been given "acting lessons" as it were. His "crying" is as phoney as everything else he does.

Is there any one running against Boner?

Yes, JD Winteregg. Funny name, but we all should campaign for and fund him vigorously.

“No police credentials are required to point out errors.”

As if in the scheme of things this twaddlizing is of any consequence.
As I see it, here's one brave SOB who is putting his Congressional Office on the line and we're looking at his grammar? We all need to stand behind him!

[Gritty]

This man is my Congressman and I love him. The people in this District have his back because not only is he smart and principled, but he stands up to the toadies in Washington. It is time to send him another donation.
