Louie Gohmert To Challenge Boehner For Speaker Of The House
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq7ZHl-INEs
Gohmert’s public entry elevates the stakes. And his public announcement
should put pressure on other so called conservatives to take a real hard
look at how they vote for leadership.
We shall soon find out who the real conservatives are
And who are the grand standing fake ones are.
And give those fake ones a primary challenger!
So true.
Heave ho, the cryin oompah-loompah’s gotta go.
If Gohmert is going to take a shot at someone with Boehners level of power, he better not miss.
First time I've see Weepy described in print as a liberal republican. About time. Would say 'treasonous liberal republican' but that's just me. He was handed a voter mandate that he ignored, and that tells us who he is working for, and it isn't the people who voted. If Boner wants to play penny-ante games, let him go back to the political little leagues where such tactics belong. There are no second chances allowed now and he blew it and is now political poison. Go away, Boner, maybe the democrats will have you, but I doubt it.
Going to get exciting soon, I only hope and pray when Speaker Gohmert takes the gabble, that he banishes all persons in the so-called “leadership” from ALL COMMITTEES.
And in other news....
Huckabee leaves Fox News, says will make 2016 decision by late spring
Huckster Bee please just leave!
When he media stops referring to RINOs as “normal” moderates and Conservatives as the “wacko” wing of the Republican Party, is when a real corner will have been turned. Not sure we’ve turned that corner yet. We’ll see.
Prediction: Not only will this effort to remove Boner fail, it will fail because the golf pants, establishment RINOs will get help from.... The Democrats. Together they will crush this rebellion.
What Boner did deserves his removal from speaker. Every congress-critter that votes to keep the Boner erect deserves to be “Cantored”.
86 Boehner with 29 !
“My Congressman is Jim Bridenstine.
He votes nearly 100% like I would vote.”

He is definitely a solid representative. I had hoped that he would run for Senate in 2014 but he opted to run for reelection to the House. He may be another one willing to throw his name out as a potential candidate. Like Louie Gohmert, Bridenstine would also be an outstanding Speaker (or part of Leadership).
It appears that a lot of FReepers are not familiar with how the Speaker is elected. If Boehner doesn’t receive a MAJORITY of the votes cast for a candidate on the first round of voting, it will go to however many additional rounds will be needed until someone gets a majority of the votes. If it goes additional round(s), you can bet that the votes that went for Boehner in Round one will begin to peel away. So the goal is to keep him from winning on the first round -— then Katie, bar the door.
Here he makes excuses for offering the bill that allowed all the spending.

I disagree totally. If they back down on the promises they made to voters for their own personal convenience, they've sold their souls and backed down on principle. It isn't about them, it's about representing constitutional conservative principles.
If they don't see that, they were never on our side to begin with. If they vote for Boehner they're worse than Democrats. With the dems, we know which side they're on.
Game on. Hope the 29’ers win this Tuesday.
I feel the same way. Drudge has the Huskster story, but not the Gohmert challenge. I sent the youtube link to him, but he hasn't posted it yet. Maybe if enough people sent it to him, he would post a link to this story. As far as I'm concerned it's a lot bigger story than the Huckster.
They need to develop a thick skin like Louie and be willing to take their cause to the people. I'm tired of the Dems and the RINOs.
