Boner has pulled enough Boehners. Out!

He said the same thing in 2010 ?! Then some advice for the real conservatives in the House: ´Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me.´ . I am sick of hearing the Republican leadership reacting to what the Dems do. Where is the leader with a brain and a backbone to act first and make the Dems react ? Where is the non stop pr that the republicans need to tell people that we are heading for the cliff and NO ONE is going to be left on solid ground ?

Wow, Déjà Vu all over again. I remember how McLame and Grahmnesty became right wingers a couple of months before their reelections. Too bad facing voters has no consequences as voters tend to forget the damage these ´rebublicans´ do prior to becoming faux conservatives for a few months.

Well, if fake-head nods to the Right doesn´t work, he can always bawl- real tears and all, ya know.

If ever we needed a WARRIOR as Speaker, it is now.
Alan West for Speaker or Give Michele Bachmann the Speaker´s gavel.

Will all the socialists vote for botox Nan? If so, a vote for someone other than boner could have her as speaker again *shudder*.

" I promise, this time I really, Really, REALLY will not cave"

We should be directing more of our disgust toward the White House......the press loves to see us in-fighting; they´re fanning the flames and enjoying seeing the fire grow.

It takes a Majority to elect a Speaker. Therefore any votes not for Boehner but for anyone other than Pelosi results in a second ballot. Pelosi would not be Speaker by plurality. Though Democrat votes could elect him Speaker with sufficient Republican votes to make a Majority.

Semper Fi

Boehner will be re-elected and he will continue to be ineffective. Sad but true.

Truly pathetic. How can he move at all with no spine?

I like your candidates #5. We need real leaders at this critical time and the cry baby pushes the best ones off the committees!

Be careful what you wish for. Pelosi is only 16 votes from becoming Speaker again.

He needs to be thrown out on his ear and a true conservative with a BACKBONE take his place. Do the Republicans have the courage to do so...probably not...sigh.

So sorry that John Boehner will get to keep his job. He is not working for the American people. Just another coward in the mold of Chief Justice Roberts.

I don´t mean to repeat myself, but I said on another post the other day:

I am done with the Republicans.

The rinos don´t have the guts to oust Boehner.

I´m watching c-span right now and note that there are a few names called with no vote response. why is that? are these hold-outs for a second ballot?

Unfortunately, Allan West was defeated for re-election and is not there. He would have been the best bet for speaker because he´s not afraid of the Dems. I don´t know who in the House comes even close to his level of fearlessness. That´s why the Dems had to get rid of him and it worked. At this point, almost anybody would be better than Boehner.

You are correct #10. The GOP can`t even stand up to their own Speaker let alone dealing with Obama. They are the Party of Nothing an I expect them to hand the gavel back to Pelosi in Jan. 2015.

and yet, 19, his name was called - twice. I guess it doesn´t now matter whether someone voted for Boehner or not, he´s been reelected. So, Republicans CAN muster votes for someone...

Now that he has been re-elected, Boehner is probably already moving back to the left this minute. We can expect lots of tough talk in the coming months, followed by inept leadership and plenty of caving when it counts.

After he was reelected, how many hankies did he use?

Ok, I´m heading up the down staircase on this thread but, I repeat, John Boehner and anyone else in his position as House Majority leader, in this situation with the Dems holding the White House and the Senate has done a much better job than a lot of us expected him to be able to do. Those of you searching for your perfectly armed and always successful warrior are dreaming. If John Boehner pleases me, he upsets you. If he satisfies you, he upsets that guy over there. This is not an easy job, it´s tougher than any in Washington and I support him. Apparently, so do his troops. No one else could have accomplished more in this very difficult situation and on this particular bill. Let´s hold on the cannibalism, friends, it accomplishes nothing except to sate the cannibal. Bigger battles are ahead of us and they´ll arrive very quickly. Can we make an attempt to pull in the same direction for a change?

Electing a different Speaker doesn´t change the math
or the political reality.
Ending at 11:59 am EST today the 112th Congress
was comprised of 240 Republicans / 191 Democrats with 4 vacant seats.
As of noon today, the 113th Congress now has 233 Republicans
and 200 Democrats
with 2 vacant seats.
The Senate now has 45 Republicans ( down 2 seats ) ,
53 Democrats and 2 Indys who will caucus
and vote Democrat.
Anything passed in the House cannot pass the Senate with just Republican votes.

Don´t worry DNC the Speaker Eunuch is only talking like a conservative, he will continue his bowing at the feet of the liberals in this administration.

The RINOs will win again.

There was never a serious challenge to Boehner. Pelosi and Boehner slobbering all over each other now. How far we have fallen as a nation. Democrats know what to do with the tools at hand whether minority or majority. So, I don´t agree that because of the math, we should accept zero results from Boehner. Yeah, we are always told that bigger battles are ahead, so conservatives need to shut up. Funny, when the bigger battles come and we lose those too, we are still told to just keep supporting weak leadership.

#27, you say that we don´t have to accept the math? The math is a given. It´s not flexible. We´re outmanned, outgunned and outdealt because of those advantages. We can whine, but we cannot change the numbers. I´m not sure exactly what those who yell loudest at Boehner think is accomplished by yelling. We can accomplish the possible, bit by bit, but until the next election we are pretty much potted plants on the Washington stage.

Because of the math.

He moved to the right because there was simply no more room to move any further to the left.

I really haven´t been able to see much difference between him and Reid these last couple of weeks. They both bent over and gaveNØbama exactly what he wanted.

With the Republican Party officially becoming the French Party (truth in advertising), we can expect them to trash talk for about 20 seconds and then surrender to NØbama every time from now on. Handing their cajones to NØbama on a silver platter was a nice closing act. I guess they really don´t need them any more, since there isn´t a real man left among them any more...

When his face shows up on TV, I immediately change the channel. He is a LIAR and NO True Conservative.....

Wow. So team 0bama/ Boehner will continue to flush America down the toilet.

Btw #19 - Anybody can be Speaker of the House. It doesnt have to be an elected official.

Liars.

Words. Only words.
They think us their puppy, to toy with at will.

Boehner wins again. I´m sickened...
