I see ultraconservative printed... but I never see ultraliberal as a description.

I don’t give a flying flip what Boner will or won’t put up with—My member of Congress is there to represent my interests, not cater to Boner’s whims.

Boehner is a liberal clothed in conservative garb.

Has he ever successfully negotiated anything ?
I’ll bet his wife proposed to him !!

Indeed. Boehner’s inaction on 0bama’s numerous impeachable offenses MAKES HIM COMPLICIT. IMPEACH BOEHNER!

I donated regularly, but no more until the RINOBonehead is gone.

Also, thanks to him, I am no longer a registered Republican.

Why John Boehner may be a goner.

He should be a goner but I would not put any hope in Boner getting deposed. I had some hope until I just heard Kudlow say that that Ryan came out publicly supporting Boehner. If we can't get Ryan to run or help garner support around a single House member then Boner will almost certainly survive.

I agree that he is complicit
Obama is spending this country down the sewer , and into becomming a bannana republic , and Boehner is holding his hand !
Get Boehner out ..NOW !! before he gives our citizenship , our property , our livlihood and jobs away !

Well, let's see if he does the honorable thing and resigns from Congress like Gingrich did when he was deposed as Speaker.

This whole thing is a joke. I wake up every day wondering why somebody with the improbable name of Barack Hussein Obama is President of these United States.

It's like living in a nightmare.

If 16 House Republicans were to abstain from voting for Speaker, Boehner would only receive 217 votes.

They shouldn't abstain. The Speaker is chosen by an absolute majority of votes cast. If they and enough others don't vote, Pelosi might get that majority despite leading the minority party. And you think we're in a world of hurt NOW?

If sixteen Republicans with stones can be found, they still need to vote. Just not for Boehner.

Most members of his caucus “have fallen in line,”...

Well, I have a little flash alert for Boehner and the sheep that “have fallen in line”. These Reps have a voting constituency that put them in the House. They are up there to represent the people of their districts.

Personally, if my Rep were to “fall in line” with Boehner, my Conservative district wouldn’t take it kindly.

Absolutely correct - anyone can be Speaker, they don't even have to be a Representative. Can you just imagine this AGAIN...........................................................

If the HOP House won’t fire Bonehead, scandal his sorry a$$ out.
He’s been in DC 20 years. He’s got to have some bones in his closet.

Fire Boehner and pick Newt Gingrich, then watch the the fun. Obama Reid and the rest, would not be able to keep up with him.
