Mark Levin and Tea Party/Senate Conservatives
declare war on John Boehner's teetering speakership
The latest cave-in by the GOP's weaker-than-circus-lemonade congressional 'leadership' finally has most all conservatives seeing that the time is NOW for new talent (or any talent) at the top of the party. The SCF, Mark Levin, and Tea Party Patriots have rolled-out the heavy artillery, aimed straight at the listless reign of John Boehner, who the Tea Party put in power, only to be mocked, derided, dismissed, and basically told to go home and shut-up.
It's long overdue, and I don't know how anyone could justify limping-along into the 2014 midterms with John Boehner in charge. Under him, the party lacks principle, direction, and leadership at every level... it's not that hard to understand why people don't see any reason to be voting Republican, he and McConnell surely aren't offering them any, neither verbally nor through their actions.
Shouldn't the House Speaker be able to speak? Boehner seemed a rambling drunk on Leno last month- what was the point of even going on there if you're just going to mumble/look stupid... and have nothing to say (except for that the shutdown is our fault?)
The Senate Conservatives Fund -who recently released a powerful video exposing Mitch McConnell as the Mother-of-All-RINOs is a PAC closely allied with the Tea Party movement. And they've had their fill of John Boehner's Lilly-livered term as House Speaker, too- they've put together a new website dedicated to the cause of drumming-up the 15 votes required to block Boehner from retaining his gavel. Mark Levin has dedicated himself fully to the cause as well.
And although there's not a plethora of obvious conservative candidates to replace John Boehner in the House, there is new Republican leadership emerging on Capitol Hill in-general... recent polls offer a glimpse of what the people want.
Oh, and you other 28 Vichy Republicans in the House that voted for surrender and continued collaboration with the Obamunists, the Tea Party is
coming for you, too...

Do you have a GOP Representative? Contact him or her today and ask these two questions:
1. Do you support John Boehner continuing as Speaker of the House?
2. Will you make a —public— statement in that regard?

I, for one, would love to know who’s pulling Boehner’s strings and what leverage they have over him. If he were to plan his political demise by the numbers, he wouldn’t do it any differently than he is right now.

Recall that Boehner crticised Ted Cruz and the shutdown by saying that they were saving their ammunition for the debt ceiling fight.
Looks like he shot his wad a long time ago. Didn’t even resist.
Hope his donors and lobbyist firms got their 30 pieces.
Boehner was put on the throne by the Tea Party with the 2010 election.
They put him there, they can take him down again.
They should.

This vote was near complete repudiation of Boehner by his own party. He’s done and needs to be removed.

Boehner is exhibiting more than weakness; he’s showing outright fear. He has to be compromised. The Dems have something good on him and he’s their puppet.
Whatever it is, the Dems will still use it to finish him off after they have no more use for him.

That’s what lesser evil and “No matter what!” gets America. Lots of freepers and the general public need that fed to them on a cold dish until they get it.
Saving ammunition would imply he’d have to twist arms to get repubs to fight against the Dems on debt. Not only didn’t he do that, the concept itself, if people give it a moments thought, is either farcical or an admission there are a number of GOP that are willfully going to vote Democrat. Otherwise what ‘ammunition’ is needed? The Dems are supposed to be the other team. Not like they will side with Bhoner for anything the right wants.
Hello?
To: ManHunter
what leverage they have over him. Ugggh, not again. WHY is there ALWAYS the assumption that a Repub who acts like an anti-conservative is somehow "compromised" or "has a file"????
We need to stop giving excuses for these jerks. Boehner, like all the others, is simply showing his true colors. He does what he does because he IS an anti-conservative, not because someone is blackmailing him.

What is the procedure to out the Speaker?
I'm not even familiar with how a Speaker of the House is selected?
To: Starboard
Nonsense. What he “fears” is losing his place on the cocktail circuit.

"I, for one, would love to know whos pulling Boehners strings and what leverage they have over him."
Exactly.
To be honest, the first time I heard people say that Boehner was acting the way he is because Obama and Holder "had something on him", I dismissed it as tin foil hat stuff. The more I see how this administration spies on, and intimidates, all political opponents in an orchestrated manner, the more I wonder if it's really true. (You dig deep enough, and you'll probably find something on any politician- especially with the MSM's help in making a big issue out of whatever it is).
It's one thing to make foolish decisions because you're a fool... it's an entirely different thing to act a certain way out of fear of being exposed. What Boehner has been doing recently does not seem rational- if they really do have smething on him, he needs to be honest and come clean to his party...

This is what happens when you ‘vote for the R’. You get a “Republican” leadership that is indistinguishable from the Democrats.
Ted Cruz got it right (as he almost always does) yesterday when he said the House bill was the same one we’d have seen from a Speaker Pelosi.
Boehner must go, NOW.

Tzu Sun; said, "always pay your spies/traitors well, they're worth their weight in gold".
My guess is SotH (*HIC!* Boehmer) & Sen. Min. Ldr. (Ried's *itch McConnell) are selling
out really cheap (& staying bought), 30/16 pieces of silver..188% increase in price.
