Rep Huelskamp: Boehner Could Be Dumped


Rep.

“This is not about losing just four votes [from the members who were purged],” Huelskamp said. “He [Boehner] is worried about the 20 to 30 to 40 to 70 who voted against the debt deal, and is afraid that some of them may decide we want a conservative as Speaker.”

All I want for Christmas is Boehner being purged.

So if we don't have a speaker of the house what would life be like? I read somewhere that there must be a simple majority of votes (218) for a speaker to be voted in, and if no one gets 218 votes there's no speaker. Supposedly that hasn't happened since the days during the civil war, but I can't find any info on it.

Who's Boehner working for? It's obvious he doesn't represent; his district, fiscal responsibilities, or conservatives.


Just another establishment stripper that has shimmied his way up the Speaker Pole.

I hope everyone is putting pressure on their congresscritter.

K street, the financial service industry, the CFR.

Apparently Boehner said today he is not worried about being dumped.

I just realized who Huekskamp reminds me of: Tim Conway.

Boehner would probably resign very quickly if it happens.. like Gingrich.
