Geee Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 American Spectator: "The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers." -- Article I, Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution Enough. Enough. Enough. Enough. It's time for conservatives to challenge John Boehner for Speaker of the House. With Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin. Yes, it can be done. And there is a way to do it, more of which in a minute. But first, the question: why replace John Boehner? What's the problem? John Boehner is not a conservative. He's a Washington deal maker. An Inside-the-Beltway guy in the mold of all those Republican House Minority Leaders who led (kept?) the House GOP in minority status for 40 long years between 1954 and 1994 -- when a bold Newt Gingrich finally led the charge that broke the liberal grip on the House. Boehner is House Minority Leader Gerald Ford or Bob Michel all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
