Can We Replace John Boehner With Paul Ryan?
http://www.redstate.com ^ | November 13, 2012 | Erick Erickson

John Boehner has been willing to throw his conference under the bus repeatedly. We know from the Bob Woodward book that he was willing to raise taxes. We know he cut a deal with Barack Obama without consulting the rest of his conference. We know it blew up in his face.

We know he now doesn’t even want to fight Obamacare, calling it the “law of the land.” We know he only walked back that statement because of the outrage that ensued.

We know he wants to start putting moderates into leadership positions like Cathy McMorris Rodgers instead of Tom Price. We know he is demanding conservatives “get in line”.

House Republicans are being badly served by John Boehner.

Wouldn’t that be wonderful? Ryan has already shown he isn’t afraid to go up against BO, and did a darn good job as well!

Levin has floated the notion of Scott Walker.

Ryan needs to stay right where he as policy wonk and head of the budget committee.

We need the numbers guy to stay 100% in numbers, and not be distracted by personnel meetings, political fights, vote-counting schemes, etc.

Ryan will serve our side best by endlessly going through the numbers proposals and telling the Speaker where they don't add up.

What a treat it would be if the new tea partiers in Congress voted Palin in—and Barry had to negotiate with her!

(Yeah, I know it would never happen.)

Boehner wants to line up as many RINO’s as possible so he can lead the charge into capitulation on amnesty and tax increases.

This is why its called the corrupt "Two-Party Cartel". It's now for me, since a true conservative prez will not be elected in my lifetime nor my children, no more voting. It's just gives these scumbags legitimacy.

When it comes to government (no longer OUR government) the “WE” no longer exists.

There is a ruling elite who gives us lip service prior to rigged and phony elections then just goes about what they wanted to do in the first place.

If you question rigged elections: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hbf3iaEbAuY&feature=share

Testimony before congress from a computer programmer who created a vote rigging program.

Without paper ballots, hand counting, and most importantly VOTER ID, there will no longer be “WE” in “We the people”.

That’s what Republicrats do.

As God is my witness, I was thinking yesterday how much Boehner reminded me of the cowardly lion in the Wizard of Oz. Weeping, wishing he had some courage.

Careful ... you're gonna make him cry.

Paul Ryan, for God's sake, challenge this coward for the post of the Speaker of the House!

Chances are slim of stopping King Obama anyway but replacing Bonehead with Ryan would be a huge step up.

What I find intolerable is John Boehner’s reluctance to take on the Democrats.

Well he is a closet democrat after all, and Levin thinks maybe that is not all that is in the closet.

Think real hard and see if you can come up with one true conservative that is in the House leadership.
