I say, elect Romney as House Speaker.
Paul Ryan. Gloves off. He ‘lost’ so, nothing to lose. It’s time to play hard ball.. Call the media ‘government propagandists’, call the Dems out on voter fraud, Shove Pelosi’s talking points down her throat, illustrate with charts HOW unions bankrupt entire States like California, etc.. It’s either that or we’ll never see a Republican President again in our lifetimes.
Rep. Tom McClintock (R-CA4)
Used to be the the CPUSA and their homosexual COMINTERN buddies would meet in secret.
Now they are in your face, large and in charge, from the WH to the local apparatchik at the county commission.
Any attempt to suppress domestic communism is now branded as hate speech or domestic terrorism.
The Republicans are useless.
It’s time to start developing a strategy to cripple the marxists, and it must be done totally outside of the electoral process through acts of civil disobedience and counter propaganda, with sympathetic State Governors and legislators assisting in the process.
All else fails, the military can fire the scumbags wholesale in all three branches, provisional military government for six months, then new elections (no incumbents need apply) only taxpayers and veterans enfranchised, all amendments repealed except the Bill of Rights, dueling legalized for for members of the House and Senate
In the first place, Boner is not a conservative. But I think we all agree that he needs to be replaced.
Why all this talk about bringing in an outsider as Speaker? It may be constitutional, but it would be unprecedented in anyone’s living memory, and probably counterproductive, as GOP House Members would inevitably resent it, and the Democrats and the press would play on that.
It’s difficult, because the more conservative and honest congressmen usually haven’t had much time in office. But there must be numerous candidates who would be better than Boner.
"An elective despotism was not the government we fought for; but one in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among the several bodies of magistracy as that no one could transcend their legal limits without being effectually checked and restrained by the others." - Federalist Papers, No. 58, 1788
"This power over the purse may, in fact, be regarded as the most complete and effectual weapon with which any constitution can arm the immediate representatives of the people, for obtaining a redress of every grievance, and for carrying into effect every just and salutary measure." - Federalist Papers, No. 58, 1788
"The propensity of all single and numerous assemblies (is) to yield to the impulse of sudden and violent passions, and to be seduced by factious leaders into intemperate and pernicious resolutions." - Federalist Papers, No. 62, February 27, 1788
"Every new regulation concerning commerce or revenue; or in any manner affecting the value of the different species of property, presents a new harvest to those who watch the change and can trace its consequences; a harvest reared not by themselves but by the toils and cares of the great body of their fellow citizens. This is a state of things in which it may be said with some truth that laws are made for the few not for the many." - Federalist Papers, No. 62, February 27, 1788
"It will be of little avail to the people that the laws are made by men of their own choice, if the laws be so voluminous that they cannot be read, or so incoherent that they cannot be understood; if they be repealed or revised before they are promulgated, or undergo such incessant changes that no man who knows what the law is today can guess what is will be tomorrow." - Federalist Papers, No. 62, February 27, 1788
Note particularly the following words of wisdom from Federalist No. 63:
"As the cool and deliberate sense of the community ought, in all governments, and actually will, in all free governments, ultimately prevail over the views of its rulers; so there are particular moments in public affairs when the people, stimulated by some irregular passion, or some illicit advantage, or misled by the artful misrepresentations of interested men, may call for measures which they themselves will afterwards be the most ready to lament and condemn. In these critical moments, how salutary will be the interference of some temperate and respectable body of citizens, in order to check the misguided career, and to suspend the blow meditated by the people against themselves, until reason, justice, and truth can regain their authority over the public mind?" - Federalist Papers, No. 63, 1788
We (republicans/conservatives) NEED SOMEONE THAT CAN SPEAK.
Jesh it’s just so frustrating. I am getting to the point I don’t even want to look at the man.
I know he’s up against the Lamestream media, but we have people that can break through and get our message out. Let’s use them!
Boehner is no match for Donald Duck and about as easy to understand.
Is Bob Michel still alive? The dhims would LOVE him... not that boner is anymore effective.
That's what I've been saying. Marginalize Obama by dealing with the Senate first. Make Reid deal with Obama, not Boehner.
-PJ
As for naming a Speaker who is not a member of the House ...
The novelty of such an appointment would give us at least a few days “grace” with the traitorous and corrupt media.
Newt Gingrich, for example, could land some mortal blows against the federal beast and give some monumental speeches about Constitutional observance before the media had a chance to shut him down, if they could.
Yes, Newt - Newt - Newt.......
>>> John Boehner is a good man in a hard place. He has served in public office as a lifelong conservative, not a RINO.
He referred to Obamacare as “The Law of The Land”
I don’t give a damn if he was the 2nd coming of Ronald Reagan up to that point in his political career... (which he WASN’T!)
This cave of his was the LAST straw for me.
He’s a hob-knobbing conservative back stabbing RINO Coward!
Time to make his big tent an itsy bitsy one that the independant party will laugh at!
Walter Williams for Speaker of the House.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Chatter, chatter, chatter. Just replace him with someone who will really get the job done.
John Boehner is a good man in a hard place.
Lost me right there. Any good man would have NEVER agreed to the bill that put him in the hard place.
Boner shot his foot off and now he is trying to figure out how to put it back on.
This is an entertaining fantasy and nothing more.
The Republicans in the House are apparatchiks first and conservatives second (if at all). They will all dutifully fall into line behind Boehner.
