Anatomy of a Failed Coup: Boehner’s opponents were slow and uncertain.

The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing - Edmund Burke

[BenLurkin]

“coup”

“ringleaders”

What is this — ChiCom news?

[tennmountainman]

The fact that someone had “to ask” Flemming to vote against Bonehead
says it all.

Flemming joins a long list of frauds and fakes.

When is the next chance to dump Boehner , because you know he’s going to screw the party up big time

[Flintlock]

Whatta fiasco.

What LAME excuses.

I’m a Rebublican NO MORE! Mebbie a Conservative, I dunno right now.

[donozark]

Republicans are running around like eunuchs in a Hong Kong whorehouse. Useless! My Congressman, Billy Long once said,”Mitch McConnell and John Boehner were the problem.” Yet he voted for Boehner. Go figure...

[Da Coyote]

Not to matter.

The GOP is now officially dead.

Let’s get working on a real party.

[Artcore]

So Rush...are you going to keep telling us that 3rd parties still won’t work?

I’m done voting Republican!

[TexasCajun]

The holidays made a perfect cover for The Boehner Gang to hold onto power, voting on the 1st business day of the new year.

I wonder how many newbies voted for Boehner after campaigning to support a new speaker?

[Pontiac]

Ultimately, those factors combined with the difficulties inherent in challenging a sitting speaker, sinking the coup.

This is a NEW congress. Boehner is not the Speaker until he is elected.

Perhaps a distinction without a difference but it needs to be said that Boehner was not a foregone conclusion as speaker simply because he was the Speaker in the last congress.

Boehner failed miserably to advance the Republican agenda in the last congress and should lose his position.

[crusadersoldier]

voting no on boner should have been as natural as breathing and no “coup” needed

[Travis McGee]

[indthkr]

House vote bump....

[txrefugee]

Please link me to a list with the 25 patriots’ names. We will support them with campaign money when they run in ‘16.

[clintonh8r]

The fact is that it was not well organized. I think that's because nobody really wants the job.

The FNG’s turn into seasoned Vets once they get the first indoctrination. Play the game or get a broom closet for an office and be on the committee that oversees nothing.

Years ago O North was basically turned down (one of the main points) because he was ‘different’ and VA would be ‘losing’ a vote in the Senate because he would get absolutely NO good ‘jobs’.

Of course, if he had succeeded, another would have followed etc, and very possibly Ted Cruz would have a strong force to belong to.

Like ‘they’ kept telling us about drilling for oil on the ‘North Slope’.

“It will be 10 years before we see the fruits of this”

Of course that was 40 or so years ago so we could have been ‘enjoying’ the fruits for 30 some years, yet ‘every’ time it comes up, the dissenting ‘argument’ is

“It will be 10 years before we see the fruits of this”.

[BubbaJunebug]

I’m done. No more voting if it goes democratic so be it there is no difference. I odd are I have maybe one or two more presidential elections before the eternal dirt nap..screw em.

You numpty’s who threw money to people like Mia Love and most of the TP candidates got taken for a ride...enjoy the scenery.

[SeekAndFind]

Here are the Republicans who voted against John Boehner for speaker

If you see WHO they voted for instead, you begin to understand why the whole endeavor failed. There was not one person they were united to vote for.

Several months in the future "Obama-Boehner Event ABC-XYZ" will require a massive public-political action ...


Question-1 : Should Free Republic even consider getting involved ? (Yes/No)


Question-2 : "IF" yes ... how should Free Republic be "pre-organized" for an EFFECTIVE response


2-A) "Free Republic Action Teams" set-up in advance ?

2-B) "Free Republic Action Teams" set-up in ALL fifty-seven (57) state chapters ?

2-C) "Information Infrastructure" (Congressional Telephone Numbers, Rally Locations) already be set-up and ready ?

2-D) Free Republic "coordination" with other Patriot groups ?

2-D-1) Red State (Erick Erickson) ?

2-D-2) Freedom Works (Matt Kibbe) ?

2-D-3) Overpassses For America (James Neighbors) ?

2-D-4) National Tea Party Patriots (Daveda Gruber) ?

2-D-5) Overpasses for Impeachment (Roger Ogden) ?

2-D-6) Limbaugh, Mark Levin, Beck, Josh Bernstein, Jon Matthews, Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Mark Davis, Joe Pags, etc.

2-D-7) Tea Party / 912 STATE groups

2-D-8) THE DRUDGE REPORT media interface contact

2-D-9) An "Action-Rally Graphic/Tag-Link" on the Free Republic website masthead ?



Only Jim Robinson can decide this question for Free Republic; after all he's the Founder and genius behind Free Republic.
