Chatter about speakers ouster has House GOP on edge
(The Hill) Growing chatter about a possible coup against Speaker John Boehner has set Capitol Hill on edge.
Talk that conservatives might use a government-funding showdown to overthrow the powerful Ohio Republican has triggered a flurry of behind-the-scenes jockeying among lawmakers eager to move up the leadership ladder.
And that has lawmakers wondering more than ever if Boehners days as Speaker are numbered.
Thats what tells you theres something afoot. You know theres some drops of blood in the water, because all the sharks are starting to circle, said one conservative lawmaker who backs Boehners ouster.
Conservatives have threatened to shut down the government on Oct. 1 if Congress doesnt strip federal funding from Planned Parenthood. Boehner thinks a shutdown would be disastrous for the party in an election year, but he also knows conservatives have vowed to move against him if he teams up with Democrats to fund the government.
Publicly, Boehner is projecting confidence, repeatedly telling reporters in recent weeks he has widespread support from his GOP conference. But even behind closed doors, Boehner has had to contend with nagging questions about his political future.

Defund Planned Parenthood and Jihadi resettlement at the same time. Let ObaMao go on record as supporting them both.
Boner is a much more powerful democrat than he is a Republican.

The Speaker isnt going anywhere, added Boehner spokeswoman Emily Schillinger. Hes focused on the American peoples priorities and how we can accomplish them.

BULLS***!
That’s not blood in the water.
That’s just a half bottle of red wine that Boehner dropped while he was having breakfast.
Cabernet or Pinot?
Lloyd Blankfein of Goldman, and Citigroup and Jaime Dimon, CEO of JP Morgan Chase are the ones who gave Obama the initial millions to run for POTUS. They didn’t trust McCain not to screw them for his own aggrandizement, so they bought Obama
Boner is OWNED by the same people.
GREAT POST.

I doubt it

Yep. The idea that Boehner is going to be replaced is total BS. The vast majority of the caucus loves Boehner. He takes the heat while they take the K Street cash & have nooners with the interns.
If true, does anyone really think his replacement will be much better?

As long as the GOP caucus is full of careerist pigs at the beltway trough, no. They like to project the fantasy of some huge silent conservative majority in the caucus. It’s a day dream, IMO.
Blah, blah, blah.
Less talk and more ACTION!
If they replace him with McCarthy it isn’t much of a coup.
Boehner blood.....good!
Save some so we can drop trou and take bodacious Obamas on it.
BWAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA HA HA!!!
He's focused on the American people's Democrat party's (fixed it) priorities and how we can accomplish them.
The next leader of this nation is going to use this shutdown as a hammer on the heads of the socialists, and he will win.
