“The pressure is building and more will follow. Dump the bonehead with the perpetual tan and the four martini lunch.”

If it continues to build, I’ll be that Boehner will have a bunch of his loyalists or some democrats (through Pelosi) vote present to reduce the majority threshold.

But if he has to do this and keeps his position, his power to intimidate will be at an end.

Not encouraging, but at least someone finally stepped up.

It’s just a matter of getting to a second ballot!

If he becomes Speaker with Dem votes, the charade of the Uniparty will be over. I don’t think he wants to open that particular Pandora’s Box.

The trouble is that enough dems will vote for Boner to make certain a strong republican is not speaker.

There is just one way to oust Boner.

The conservatives would have to make it plain they will vote for Pelosi as speaker rather than Boner....and then actually do it.

A new vote for speaker can be called but so long as Boner is running the conservatives would have to vote for the dem candidate.

Eventually an acceptable republican candidate would be elected when all realize it is either that or Pelosi.

Hard core politics....

That’s exactly right! However, to these people, power trumps optics, and he’ll do what it takes to hold his position, as oligarchs always have!

Call your Representative and tell them to DUMP Bonehead. I did, but it was a call to Jim Bridenstein to thank him again for being a Patriot.

Bonehead will say this demonstrates that he can lead and reach across the aisle.

I am contacting Rep. Mullin by phone, twitter, email, etc... no response, so who knows what he will do as of right now. He has been a disappointment when it comes to really taking a stand. I wish he had the courage of Rep. Bridenstein but that does not appear to be the case.

Mullin has been a disappointment. He has learned the Washington art of compromise and excuses. The Red Rooter may be one term Rep unless he grows a set.

Bridenstein has exceeded expectations.

That’s my Congressman! Dr. Yoho is a large animal vet. In other words, he’s used to dealing with bovine stupidity, sheepish cluelessness, porcine greed, and bulls**t in general. He will put those skills to very good use in DC.

Yoho also said in his statement that he would be willing to stand up as a potential alternative candidate to Boehner, if members feel they need to vote for someone other than Boehner even though the Congressional Research Service report detailing speakership elections says there is no need for an alternative.

No need for an alternative, LMAO.

Anyway, that's hardly a resounding campaign announcement. But at least he's not a TOTAL wussy like Paulbot clown Tom Massie and everyone else who would sooner get dental surgery without anesthesia than seek the job themselves. I hope the protesters will vote for Yoho instead of "Porky the Pig", "Donald Duck" and other non-member non-candidates.
