First item up for discussion under the Ly’n Ryan Leadership is Immigration Reform, with the legislation being written by Luis Gutierrez.

Another Freaking RINO talker. Give him 6 months on the job and he will be as Obtuse to the Base as Obama is to the public....

Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL)18% is endorsing Paul Ryan for Speaker of the House of Representatives. Gutierrez, perhaps the most extreme open-borders advocate in Congress, was interviewed on MSNBC.

House Speaker - the job/position apparently nobody is eager to have.

BS- Daniel Webster and Chaffitz were running when deflated Boehner decided to stop the vote in the Caucus because his pet Monkey McCarthy withdrew from consideration.

If Ryan doesn’t get in, the RINOS will threaten, OK...We’ll reach across the aisle.

This isn’t going to end well unless the conservatives stand fast.

Chaffez is a RINO, so no surprise. Webster’s the guy.

I don’t think he can.

When other members of Congress have resigned their notice appears in the Congressional Record. I haven’t found such a notice for Boehner, although there are comments from other Representatives regarding his resignation. I am concerned that he hasn’t provided official notice of his resignation and is instead playing us.

The way things are going with Boo Hoo Boehner, Meadows is going to have to do his thing with his resolution to get Boo Hoo out. It said in part: “The resolution declares that Boehner has “endeavored to consolidate power and centralize decision-making, bypassing the majority of the 435 members of Congress and the people they represent.” Looks to me like this is still going on.

I’m not sure exactly the status of the resolution, but I think Meadows can re-file the legislation as ‘privileged,’ meaning that Congress would have to hold a vote within a few days.

Sigh.

Daniel Webster would be the best choice amongst those who are interested as Speaker

He’s only the second best representative that Mexico has in Congress.

Obviously nobody is eager to step up, as the job description is pretty much that of punching bag, both from the Current Regime, and from most of the conglomeration known as the Republican party.

In the spring of 1932, George and Ira Gershwin’s Broadway musical, “Of Thee I Sing,” spoofed Washington politics, including a vice president named Alexander Throttlebottom, who could get inside the White House only on public tours. The tour guide, who failed to recognize Throttlebottom, at one point engaged him in a discussion of the vice-presidency:

Guide: Well, how did he come to be Vice President?

Throttlebottom: Well, they put a lot of names in a hat, and he lost.

Guide: What does he do all the time?

Throttlebottom: Well, he sits in the park and feeds the peanuts to the pigeons and the squirrels, and then he takes walks, and goes to the movies. Last week, he tried to join the library, but he needed two references, so he couldn’t get in.

We need to ALL encourage Meadows to refile this resolution, then. In light of this latest situation.
