Olson is also my Congresscritter. This letter is a pathetic attempt at backing and filling, using the same reasons put forward by Mulvaney from S.C. The excuse is just as bogus as it was before: In the November caucus, Boehner had not rammed CRomnibus down our throats and hamstrung the incoming Congress before it could assume power, and funded Amnesty and Obamacare. Hence, this latest vote was a vote to repudiate those actions and punish Boehner for stabbing all Republicans (and America) in the back.

Be sure to attend Mr. Olson’s Town Hall meetings, and chew his ass for this. I will.

I will say this, if the following was true and not overstated, then those trying replace Boehner were just grandstanding as well and had no serious plans of replacing him.

Last month, House Republicans met to decide who our candidate for Speaker would be. That was the time for those who wanted to provide a different choice to speak up. The position of Speaker of the House is third in line for the presidency. Anyone wishing to serve in this role should, at a minimum, provide a clear vision of how they intend to run the House, promote conservative solutions to strengthen this great nation, and personally talk to us about why they could better manage the role of Speaker of the House. None of the candidates who ran at the eleventh hour spoke with me about their candidacy or made any argument for how they would do a better job.
