January 3, 2915
By Rob Bluey
In a daring move just days before the next election for House speaker, Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., today offered himself as an alternative to incumbent Speaker John Boehner, the party establishment’s choice.
Boehner, who has served as speaker since 2011, will likely face his first formal challenge from a member of his own party on Tuesday when lawmakers convene for the 114th Congress. The Daily Signal has learned Yoho is one of several Republicans weighing a run for speaker.
“The American people have allowed us to choose who is best suited to lead the House by electing a deep bench of diverse and qualified members,” Yoho said in a Facebook message. “Our Republic is built on choice, and if needed, I would stand up to give our members that option.”
A formal challenge to Boehner sets up different dynamic than two years ago when a dozen conservative lawmakers cast protest votes against the Ohio Republican even though there were no other declared candidates. Now, Yoho gives Republicans an option besides Boehner. .

Yo Ho, Yo Ho, a pirate’s life for me.
LOL, I’ve been stuck in 2014 and was really trying hard to post this as 2015. Man, did I overshoot! B^)
The breaking news is that the year is 2915. That really is breaking news.
For everyone reading this who took a long nap this afternoon and just woke up, relax it’s still 2015.:-)
It’s amazing what kind of eternity one can accomplish with unlimited taxpayer funded supplies of Botox and a deal with the Devil.
Just ask Pelosi.
ARRR, MATEY!!! B^)
Oh please. None of this will amount to anything. 2 dozen GOPers may oppose him, but the Boner will still stand erect inside the chamber come Jan 6th.
Here is how the guy has voted:

He is also a Veterinarian.
I sure hope we don’t see several throw their hats in the ring now and split the opposition
I guess the real question may be how many Democrat votes will Boehner need, and will Pelosi provide them.
That creature on the wing is trying to bring the plane down. Panic!!
“Oh please. None of this will amount to anything. 2 dozen GOPers may oppose him, but the Boner will still stand erect inside the chamber come Jan 6th.”

Possibly, maybe even likely, but let me tell you ... DEFEATISM is not a desirable attribute for a constitutional conservative to be afflicted with.
Note that the creature is on the plane’s *LEFT* wing.
They should all put themselves in and then vote for themselves.
Agreed, everyone needs to rally to one candidate, otherwise Boehner remains in place.
LOL!
Isn’t there some other way Boehner’s downfall can be engineered? I am thinking perhaps some ethics filings or something. Gingrich spent years going after Speaker of the House Jim Wright, and he eventually succeeded.

This is the Yoho video everyone needs to see. His “Pigs” campaign ad.
I believe he has term-limited himself and this is his last term.
