Maybe it would be wise to think more than half a step ahead. Who would be in the running for Boehner’s post, were Boehner replaced by Ohio. Is this better or worse?
If We The People find our voice again, it won’t matter that Boehner is a limp rag. He’ll get with the program. Even weather vanes are useful when the wind can be made to blow in the right direction.
Let us not for the sake of purism jump from the frying pan into the fire. The Club For Growth tried that and the result was losing a number of GOP seats to Rats.

Poll after poll shows an overwhelming majority of Americans, both R & D, oppose Amnesty - yet Boehner is all for it.
Your kind of thinking ignores spiritual and leadership effects.
When we take out the sellouts and those that are compromised, we inspire those that have kept a low profile to come to the forefront.
Boehner and others, as expressed by Ann Coulter in the days following the cave on the debt ceiling, revealed with 100% clarity that Boehner and a few others control the campaign coffers of most in the GOP caucus.
When Boehner is removed, then fear is removed as well and many members will find independence; and with independence comes courage.

Removing Boehner is therefore an act of giving birth to inspired leadership.
Watch ‘Twelve O’Clock High’ with Gregory Peck for a lesson in leadership that is still taught in the War College. It shows that when all is dark and gloomy, hopeless and resigned as lost, it takes a leader who puts everything and everyone’s lives at risk to demonstrate one and only one thing, to put the mission above all else. And when putting the mission above all else, even one’s own life, comes into existence, then a realization of winning the mission as well as an awareness that winning has a cost brings victory into reality. This is when reversals in fortunes are born.
