I consider any congresscritter voting for Bonehead to be a loathsome POS worthy only of tar, feathers, incineration, with remains to be launched into the sun.

Surely got to be more than 10 principled Republicans in the House. Or, are they lying to constituents?

Out of 247, this is truly pitiful.

There are 36 new ‘R’ members of Congress, more than enough to oust Boehner.

They don’t know him, but they must have seen the polls against Boehner.

Need at least half of the Freshman class of Rs to vote no to Boehner!

It is indeed. Makes one wonder if this is just another ploy to pacify the sheep. Until the slaughter house is up and running.

And how many people are running against JB?

So far I’ve heard:

1) Trey Gowdy
2) Louis Gohmert
3) Some guy, Yohe-—from FL?

Congress doesn't work for the people any more, that much is clear.

The Freshmen have already been "converted" thanks to the NSA, IRS and CIA.

The next 2 years are going to get pretty interesting.

Most are truly fake conservatives and shall so remain, unknown to their uninformed constituents.

What’s to prevent Rats from voting for Boner to prevent any Conservative from gaining Speaker?

These guys are from southern (technically, Texas is southwest) States. It would be great if the southern republicans voted as a block. They should form the “Southern Republican Caucus.” There would be more members than the “Congressional Black Caucus” - and hence more power.

Can Democrats vote for Boehner? He has been their best friend and they may want to repay him....
