Sources: Enough Republicans Willing
to Unseat Speaker Boehner

Breitbart.com, by Matthew Boyle

Original Article

Posted By:M2, 1/2/2013 9:07:32 AM

American Majority Action spokesman Ron Meyer told Breitbart News late Tuesday that enough House Republicans have banded together in an effort to unseat House Speaker John Boehner from his position--they just need a leader to take up the mantle. “At least 20 House Republican members have gotten together, discussed this and want to unseat Speaker Boehner--(snip) Meyer said the conservatives have considered House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) to take the helm after Boehner is knocked out.

This is where the Tea Parties can start exerting influence. It was the Tea Parties and their candidates that won the house for Rebublicans. Now they can eliminate Boehner and install a more conservative Speaker. And send a message to the RINO elite that a new party influence is here and here to stay. Elections have conseuences and its time the conservatives elected to Congress exert the results of we the people electing them.

Maybe this is why Paul Ryan has been so quiet, lately?

Breitbart is a great website, but some of its analysis has a breathless puppy dog, pie-in-the-sky wishful thinking quality about it. This post is a good example.

20 disgruntled guys with no candidate. Whatever.

Why not get PIAPS to be our speaker.

Wake up folks.

Obama won.

Punishing our guys has been non stop since the election.

For shame.

Better late than never, if they have someone that will actually make a difference. Otherwise why bother.

Honestly, I don´t know how Boehner stays standing up with no backbone at all.


Reply 10 - Posted by: Johnny Angle, 1/2/2013 10:13:18 AM     (No. 9094550)

Cantor and Ryan are RINOs.

There was talk a few weeks ago about my Congressman Tom Price challenging Boehner, but he said no. There hardly seems like enough time left before tomorrow´s vote for opposition to Boehner to get behind another viable candidate. I think this is all just wishful thinking.

The GOP´s problem is not with John Boehner, it´s with the American voter.

Too bad there are not enough Republicans willing to unseat the more than 80 Republicans that voted Democratic on this bill.


Reply 14 - Posted by: barbara joy, 1/2/2013 10:44:37 AM     (No. 9094611)

Paul Ryan has integrity and would be trusted by all Rep. members. He could unite the party like no other. He is a hard worker and understands the issues better than anyone.


Reply 15 - Posted by: curious1, 1/2/2013 10:49:20 AM     (No. 9094622)

They need a conservative (aka principled and spine) - Allen West would have been a good one. Too bad he was back-stabbed by the pubbie libtard cabal.


Reply 16 - Posted by: bassman, 1/2/2013 10:52:31 AM     (No. 9094633)

Anyone that voted "Yea" on this bill has no support from me, and that includes Paul Ryan.


Reply 17 - Posted by: Razorgirl, 1/2/2013 11:03:31 AM     (No. 9094653)

I agree Allen West would have been great. Wouldn´t it have been fun to watch him take down Obama in a one to one face off? He´ll be back.

My concern would be Democrats voting for Boehner in order to keep someone like Cantor from being speaker.


Reply 19 - Posted by: OdinsAcolyte, 1/2/2013 11:33:27 AM     (No. 9094733)

It ain´t all that. Anyone else will do. This is more attorneys making thing look difficult. The job is simple. Stop it. I pray for revolution. There can be no other cure.

Boehner has to go; he is in way over his head. He is no leader; he is hurting the Republicans. Boehner has to go.

I vote for Marsha Blackburn!

They could still hire Allen West....that would make news.

The main problem with Boehner, whom I think is a good and principled person, is that his thinking and tactics are pre-Clinton. He isn´t used to dealing with the degree of lawlessness that is the modern Democrat Party. He still thinks Presidents will strike deals that are the best for the country.

Thus, we need a different Speaker.
The Speaker does not have to be an elected Representative.
Assuming we want a principled Conservative and a relentless Fighter, I suggest that Allen West would be the best person for the job.


Reply 24 - Posted by: John21, 1/2/2013 12:02:28 PM     (No. 9094792)

Way overdue............

We need someone that still has a pair and really believes in conservative values to run the party.
We have had enough of the liberal lite or RINOs running the party for the past 5 or 6 years. Boehner is a perfect example of this kind of politician, all politics and no belief or courage.

I can hear him crying even now.

Cantor is no great prize, but better than Crybaby.


Reply 27 - Posted by: lotsamojo, 1/2/2013 12:46:08 PM     (No. 9094867)

I´d like to think it will happen. . . but congressional Repubs traditionally elect themselves a "let´s just get along" RINO, the same as they traditionally do for their Presidential candidate.


Reply 28 - Posted by: smcchk, 1/2/2013 12:57:37 PM     (No. 9094886)

Second that, #14. Cantor would be fine too.


Reply 29 - Posted by: Watlines, 1/2/2013 12:57:53 PM     (No. 9094887)

The problem is not John Boehner.

It´s Barack Obama who is calling the shots with media support behind him.

My advice is to let this play out in 2013 as Obamacare rolls in and people start noticing less money in their wallets for starters.

Republicans may have lost this tactical battle, but the strategic battle takes time to develop.

It won´t be pretty and it will be expensive. Barack Obama and his Democrats will own it.


Reply 30 - Posted by: navybrat, 1/2/2013 1:08:13 PM     (No. 9094900)

Boehner is a problem for Republicans. He is a RINO who hates tea party Republicans. He has punished many by taking away their chairmanship from committes. If Ohio keeps sending him back, he should at least be removed as speaker. That will really give him something to cry about.


Reply 31 - Posted by: Rafter, 1/2/2013 1:12:45 PM     (No. 9094909)

#29 is largely correct... Consider further...

Presidents become unpopular in their second terms.
Obamster is headed for a fall.

The ugly taxes and bad economy and restrictions of Obamacare will hurt him.

Traditionally the second-term mid-term elections (six years into a presidency)
are devastating for the party of the incumbent prez.

Bamster & his DimWitz may get kicked hard in 2014.
I expect it.
We can own the House and Senate and screw up the remainder of his reign of terror.

Not sure if the disarray involved in ousting No-Broehner is worth the effort.
Might distract people and backfire...
Just when the Bamster is about to buy the farm and the national debt... politically.

While the rank and file is center-right, the GOP leadership, since WH Taft, most emphatically is not. Boner and Doofus Romney, are mute testament to that. Yet many can´t grasp this reality.


Reply 33 - Posted by: terrywhite, 1/2/2013 1:47:16 PM     (No. 9094966)

I nominate Michelle Bachmann. She decried raising the debt limit last time.


Reply 34 - Posted by: Udanja99, 1/2/2013 6:21:27 PM     (No. 9095455)

Bachmann would be my choice too. We need someone who will get in 0bama´s face.

One doesn´t have to be a House member to be speaker. Oh, that someone there had the guts to nominate Col. West. Since that wouldn´t happen, I´ll stick with Bachmann.

After months of demands from Republicans in Congress, the White House has released emails related to what the administration said in the days after the terrorist attack in Benghazi. The emails confirm the ABC News report that the so-called "talking points" written by the CIA on the attack underwent extensive revisions – 12 versions – and that substantial changes were made after the State Department expressed concerns.

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), which first accused the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) of seeking to intimidate Tea Party groups 14 months ago, legally represents 27 such groups and is now demanding that the IRS approve the tax-exempt status of 10 of the groups or face possible legal action.

When a Tennessee lawyer asked the IRS for tax-exempt status for a mentoring group that trained high school and college students about conservative political philosophy, the agency responded with a list of 95 questions in 31 parts, including an ultimatum for a list of everyone the group had trained, or planned to train. ´Provide details regarding all training you have provided or will provide,´ the IRS demanded. ´Indicate who has received or will receive the training and submit copies of the training material.´

Gold Investors Exit
Amid Price Collapse
ABCnews, by Richard Davies    Original Article
Posted By: M2- 4/15/2013 9:01:22 AM     Post Reply
The biggest story on global financial markets today is the collapse of gold and silver prices. Gold is down more than $90 an ounce since Friday – a fall of about 7 percent. The price drop comes on top of last week’s 4.7 percent tumble. Silver prices tumbled 8 percent, or $24 an ounce. Copper is also falling. The reasons for the plunge are linked to the recent rise in the stock market, the slow, steady improvement of the US economy and the recent strength of the dollar.(snip) Last week Goldman Sachs issued a report, predicting gold prices would tumble. More volatility is expected in the days to come.

Boehner tells ABC´s "This Week" that the two have a good relationship and that they´re "open with each other ... honest with each other." But the Ohio lawmaker says they´re trying to bridge some big differences.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
