Yes! I like the way you think!

A no confidence vote right after he screws over the conservative base again, ‘cause we all know he will, would be an excellent action.

I may not like Boehner and his GOPe ways and how he has been acting like a RINO for some time now; but he is a politician and they usually know when to pivot when their voters say “enough”.

For now I am just going to sit back on my heels and see if he digs himself a deeper hole. If he does; he’s done.

Can we just focus on the real enemies—the Democrats.

“Yes he can be removed. No,he hasn’t learned anything because no lesson was delivered. He is still there and is removing those who challenged him from key positions. Does THAT sound like he learned anything?”

Thank you! A direct and honest reply to my question.

Much obliged ZULU!

I wish I WAS high.. I’m as depressed with this as with anything zero has stabbed us with.

Gohmert & Yoho were just on Hannity... Gohmert said JB’s purging conservatives off committees is going to cause things to ‘get real ugly, real quick’.

So it may not be over.

In the meantime, Texas needs to replace 33 of its’ 36-rep delegation to the House. Where do we go to recruit? I’m ready to start planting yard signs NOW.

All elected federal officials and many appointed ones are subject to impeachment.

Civil officials and judges can be impeached, not congressmen.

We are: the RATS in our party. Or have you not seen the pic of Boehner making out with Pelosi at the podium today?

I wonder if this whole move was a play by the GOP to placate conservatives. Make them think someone in the GOP cares.


When the campaign money stops coming in and the volunteers are nowhere to be found. . .maybe they will come to their senses. I don’t take their calls anymore (my life has changed for the better since caller ID) and their literature goes in file 13. Their message blah blah blah. Their inaction has contributed greatly to the downfall of our nation. They forget they are suppose to be servants of the people. . . .no sacrifice these days.

“Can we just focus on the real enemies—the Democrats.”

Sometimes the enemy is within. Seeing, understanding, and purging them is critical.

Have you been watching McCain at all for the last, oh, 15 years just to illustrate my point?

We should have a poll on how many GOPe types and how many conservatives frequent the Free Republic. I would really like to know.

As time goes on I am having a hard time identifying with the GOP and an easier time of simply identifying with the conservative base such as the TEA Party. You know; those crazy people who want to see the budget balanced and the fat trimmed from the bloated government. Must be an age thing or something...

Jeff Duncan, congressional representative from South Carolina who voted against Boner, just appeared on radio station WORD. He made two interesting statements:

1. Only about 60 conservatives are in the house.

2.This place is run on an 11th hour crisis mode.

The interview can be found at:

(You’ll need to search for the interview at the WORD site.)

Most of the Republican Party's money comes from Wall Street and K Street, not Main Street. If Main Street stops funding the party, Wall Street and K Street will simply kick in more money.

When it comes to votes, however, the lack of them will put the Republican Party on the ash heap of history.

How the House Speaker can be removed

But you would need a majority of the House. Conservatives could do that in collusion with Democrats. But Democrats aren't going to vote against one of their own. So you'd basically need all of the Republicans to turn against Boehner.

My personal opinion. . .our country is a sinking ship with no lifeboats. Without God at the helm, we are finished.

The nitpicking has started already...Boehner is the speaker.....period. They aren't going to oust him and if he gets his act in gear, we can have a very good two years and assure Republican victories in 2016.

We can also, however, bit*h and moan that our guys aren't perfect and assure, as we did in the previous couple of elections, that Hillary and her gang are victorious as was Obama....sad.

Next, you’ll be insisting on following the Constitution.

The price for resisting the GOPe!

A few hours after voting for himself for Speaker, Rep. Dan Webster R-FL finds out he won't be re-appointed to the House Rules Committee. Also off the panel, Rep. Rich Nugent R-FL, who voted for Webster as well.
