If it happens, it’ll happen fast — and behind the scenes. But this time, there’s a real feeling in the Capitol that anything could happen.

Boehner’s been all too willing to compromise. But he seems to forget that compromising with bad policy is like adding a little sewage to your drinking water.

Boehner stays and Republicans will go.

That’s as simple as can be stated.

I really think Gohmert is cagey enough to outsmart Obama’s sneaky ways.

Obama has been beating him up, stealing his lunch, and making him cry.

He is usually yellow, but he turns red for Obama.

Red+Yellow=Orange

Boehner is nothing but a dealmaker and a capitulator. The man is so compromised that he can’t do anything to upset the Democrats who no doubt have the goods on him. Time for Crybaby to hit the road and let’s get Mitch McSellout to go with him.

WashPost: McConnell Pledges to Avoid ‘Scary’ Excesses and ‘Strident Stands’ of ‘Far Right’
By Tim Graham | January 5, 2015 | 8:39 AM EST

The Washington Post is positioning the Senate conservatives as “scary” in Monday’s editions. Online, the headline was “New Senate majority leader’s main goal for GOP: Don’t be scary.”

Liberal congressional reporter Paul Kane relayed that Democrats think that appeasing “far-right conservatives” will lead to Republican defeats in 2016:

Democrats are dubious of McConnell’s pledge to avert edge-of-the-cliff moments. They believe he will run into the same problems that have bedeviled House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) during the past four years — including the inability to corral rabble-rousers such as Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) to support an agenda that conservative critics will probably view as not bold enough in challenging Obama. Appeasing those far-right conservatives will lead to an agenda that Democrats hope to exploit in 2016.

Boner and the GOP-E have been playing the "we can't because we are in the minority" card ALMOST as much as Obama and the Democrats and the MSM has been playing the race card!

You aren't being bullied, when you volunteer to give up your lunch money!

I’m actually surprised it took this long for a serious challenge to the orange drunk.

Compromise with the left is like agreeing to only half a turd in the punch bowl.

It took Americans, in an un-rigged election, to strip power away from zero, then find out Boehner has no plans to weaken zero, then be polled at 60% wanting Boehner ditched, all of this happening within a ~month, for the momentum to build.

The People want their House back.

Too bad the demodummies get to vote on this selection. I believe Bohner will hold onto the speakers position due to not enough reps voting against him.
