“coup”

“ringleaders”

What is this — ChiCom news?

[tennmountainman]

The fact that someone had “to ask” Flemming to vote against Bonehead
says it all.

Flemming joins a long list of frauds and fakes.

When is the next chance to dump Boehner , because you know he’s going to screw the party up big time

[donozark]

Republicans are running around like eunuchs in a Hong Kong whorehouse. Useless! My Congressman, Billy Long once said,”Mitch McConnell and John Boehner were the problem.” Yet he voted for Boehner. Go figure...

[Da Coyote]

Not to matter.

The GOP is now officially dead.

Let’s get working on a real party.

[Artcore]

So Rush...are you going to keep telling us that 3rd parties still won’t work?

I’m done voting Republican!

[TexasCajun]

The holidays made a perfect cover for The Boehner Gang to hold onto power, voting on the 1st business day of the new year.

I wonder how many newbies voted for Boehner after campaigning to support a new speaker?

[Pontiac]

Ultimately, those factors combined with the difficulties inherent in challenging a sitting speaker, sinking the coup.

This is a NEW congress. Boehner is not the Speaker until he is elected.

Perhaps a distinction without a difference but it needs to be said that Boehner was not a foregone conclusion as speaker simply because he was the Speaker in the last congress.

Boehner failed miserably to advance the Republican agenda in the last congress and should lose his position.

voting no on boner should have been as natural as breathing and no “coup” needed

House vote bump....

Please link me to a list with the 25 patriots’ names. We will support them with campaign money when they run in ‘16.

The fact is that it was not well organized. I think that's because nobody really wants the job.

Free Republic’s Bitter Kasserine Pass DEFEAT with John Boehner : WHY ARE WE HAPPY TO KEEP LOSING ?

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3244193/posts


That thread wasn't designed to be a pity party ...

So ... a genuine "thanks" for the Segway here ...



Several months in the future "Obama-Boehner Event ABC-XYZ" will require a massive public-political action ...


Question-1 : Should Free Republic even consider getting involved ? (Yes/No)


Question-2 : "IF" yes ... how should Free Republic be "pre-organized" for an EFFECTIVE response


2-A) "Free Republic Action Teams" set-up in advance ?

2-B) "Free Republic Action Teams" set-up in ALL fifty-seven (57) state chapters ?

2-C) "Information Infrastructure" (Congressional Telephone Numbers, Rally Locations) already be set-up and ready ?

2-D) Free Republic "coordination" with other Patriot groups ?

2-D-1) Red State (Erick Erickson) ?

2-D-2) Freedom Works (Matt Kibbe) ?

2-D-3) Overpassses For America (James Neighbors) ?

2-D-4) National Tea Party Patriots (Daveda Gruber) ?

2-D-5) Overpasses for Impeachment (Roger Ogden) ?

2-D-6) Stop The Busses (Stella)?

2-D-6) Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Beck, Josh Bernstein, Jon Matthews, Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Mark Davis, Joe Pags, etc.

2-D-7) Tea Party / 912 STATE groups

2-D-8) THE DRUDGE REPORT media interface contact

2-D-9) An "Action-Rally Graphic/Tag-Link" on the Free Republic website masthead ?



Only Jim Robinson can decide this question for Free Republic; after all he's the Founder and genius behind Free Republic.



"Thanks" Big Red Badger for asking the $ 10 million dollar question ...

Time to give up the delusion of trying to work within the Republican Party.

Time to go UKIP.

Please forgive a touch of a "vanity post", but I'm still reeling from Tom McClintock's (R-CA), until yesterday an impeccably strong member of the conservative minority in the House, vote yesterday. I sent him a follow-up note this morning:

Dear Mr. McClintock:

I write again to express my disappointment in your failure to stand in support of the conservative members of the Republican caucus during yesterday's floor vote for House Speaker.

Although you may have protected your personal political interests through your support of Mr. Boehner, it remains to be seen whether as House majority leader our (yours and my) shared conservative principles and commitment to the U.S. Constitution and traditional American values will be advanced under his thusfar ineffective leadership and his obvious antipathy toward conservative members of the caucus (including you) and his repeated disregard for the conservative base. (The actions of Mr. Boehner against those conservatives who voted against him and the smile on Ms. Pelosi's face when Mr. Boehner was, with your support, re-elected as Speaker provide clear evidence of my concern and lack of confidence in Mr. Boehner.)

Notwithstanding my disappointment I do wish you continued good health and, so far as it does not conflict with your publicly-avowed and demonstrated commitment to conservative principles as did your vote yesterday, continued success in the new House. I ask that you bear in mind, Mr. McClintock, the action of the Republicans in the House to retain Mr. Boehner as Speaker conflicts directly with the wishes of a large majority of Republican and conservative voters to turn the Congress to a more conservative direction, as demonstrated clearly in polls, surveys and the results of the November 2014 election.

Respectfully,

[EQAndyBuzz]

“By starting the fight on the House floor, McClintock argued, conservatives risked creating a scenario in which they ended up with a more liberal House speaker”

More liberal? At least it confirms that Boehner is liberal.

[BubbaBasher]

Any vote that is not done with a secret ballot is illegitimate.
