After the last election we had an effort that didn't gain much interest that was centered around removing John Boehner. At that time I was (and remain) a proponent of installing a speaker who is not an elected member of the house. Many people wanted Newt. I was in the faction that preferred Alan West.

Had either man taken the gavel America would be better off today.

To your point- Article V is America's only real hope at this point. The establishment republicans from the Beltway are willing to see it all burn in their effort to crush the Tea Party. Article V has the ability to cross party lines in giving power back to the states.

Oh, I agree that Article V is our only lawful hope.

and yes, we would be much better off with West or Gingrich and Bonehead gone.

They are all afraid that the Tea Party will screw up their cush deal and license to steal. I’ve wondered for many years how someone with two residences and 150 to 180 a year can almost always become a multi-millionaire by the end of a term. Go figure. Nobody ever asks how or why. We both know it isn’t honest or supreme intelligence. They are not honest and not that intelligent.
