Democrats: If Republicans Attempt to Demote John Boehner, We'll Keep Him In the Speakership

I don't want to be an asshole and re-open old wounds, but remember when the "Crazies" wanted to demote Boehner back in January, and said how crazy it was, and told the crazies to shut up, and were generally super-proud of themselves for not being so Crazy?

Seriously, you people who pride yourselves as being The Thinkers and the Reasonable Ones should try thinking occasionally, and giving reason a try.

So anyway, Boehner is essentially the Democratic Speaker of the House. He now has to play to them; they have leverage on him.

And he so wants to keep that nice office.

39 The apologists started rearing their heads a few days ago and their apologism was pretty milquetoast.


I'd personally like to see them admit they have no ability to recognize obvious patterns and make fairly easy predictions based upon those patterns.


"We can't do anything with only the House!" A lie, but whatever.


GOP takes Senate: "We can't do anything because Obama will just Veto!" Are you fucking kidding me?


"This is already settled in the courts!" or "We have to wait for this to work its way through the courts!" As if recent history doesn't clearly indicate that's a losing path too.


"We have to give it time!" What time do you think we have?


And we keep swinging left.

Will not work. The only way you'll remove him is in the primary. This area is very conservative. Low info conservative but the chances of them going third party or dem enough to unseat boehner is very low. To remove him you need to go the cantor/brat route. Last year the main primary opponent did really next to nothing in challenging boehner. And boehner went ALL OUT against him, more than he ever has in any primary or election ever before. And he still lost 10% of the support he usually gets.

Agreed. Sadly, he's got a fat deal as a lobbyist somewhere already lined up. He should only choke on his money.


This is the perfect place to test out Ace's strategy of selecting GOP quislings to be made examples of. Start at the top. True, we'll never get rid of Boehner in the primary, but if enough Republicans vote 3rd party or Dem, he'll lose. We don't need to get them all, just enough to beat him. We'll lose a seat, but gain a very compelling example for the others.

The point is to remember that the party doesn't win a seat, the individual does. A party is only a collection of individuals, and if you make an example of select individuals, the rest of the herd will follow.

147 "Who will rid me of this turbulent Speaker of the House?"

Posted by: Zombie Becket at March 06, 2015 04:07 PM (jpW6t)

148 Easiest way to thwart this--a bit of history from Wikipedia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Gurney_Cannon
This is the House's version of the nuclear option.

"Revolt

On March 17, 1910, after two failed attempts to curb [Speaker Joseph] Cannon's absolute power in the House, Nebraska Representative George Norris led a coalition of 42 progressive Republicans and the entire delegation of 149 Democrats in a revolt. With many of Cannon's most powerful allies absent from the Chamber, but enough Members on hand for a quorum, Norris introduced a resolution that would remove the Speaker from the Rules Committee and strip him of his power to assign committees.

While his lieutenants and the House sergeant-at-arms left the chamber to collect absent members in an attempt to rally enough votes for Cannon, the Speaker's allies initiated a legislative block in the form of a point of order debate. When Cannon supporters proved difficult to find (many of the staunchest were Irish and spent the day at various St. Patrick's Day celebrations), the filibuster continued for 26 hours, with Cannon's present friends making repeated motions for recess and adjournment. When Cannon finally ruled the resolution out of order at noon on March 19, Norris appealed the resolution to the full House, which voted to overrule Cannon, and then to adopt the Norris resolution.

Cannon managed to save some face by promptly requesting a vote to remove him as Speaker, which he won handily since the Republican majority would not risk a Democratic speaker replacing him. However, his iron rule of the House was broken, and Cannon lost the Speakership when the Democrats won a majority later that same year."

The majority sets the rules ultimately and not the speaker. This, of course, means 218 Republicans have the guts to do this. Effectively they can, if they wish, neuter the speaker to the level of the Vice President (reign but not rule). Of course, this is the Stupid Party where fecklessness and cowardice reign, so this won't happen.

I'm reminded again of this cool idea i saw a couple of months ago, an observation of Schopenauer's, that most things men think they "know" is just some shit that THREE OTHER PEOPLE said, and that most things in life that non-thinking people "know" are of this character, just something that someone said, then someone repeated, and someone repeated again, and that becomes Something Which We "Know."

"It is known," the slave girl translator on Game of Thrones always says about folk wisdom.

Imagine that scenario and then imagine how much the GOP pukes in congress will wet themselves when the Donks and their FSA fill the mall and the steps of the capital to block President Walkers agenda.

191 "Seriously, you people who pride yourselves as being The Thinkers and the Reasonable Ones should try thinking occasionally, and giving reason a try."

Wonderfully put, ace. I've said the same thing less well, either more or less vituperatively, in these comments for a long time.

It's not a completely over-lapped Venn diagram, but I get the strong sense that the worst apologists, or the most stead-fast Class Wisdom pushers, who tend to be the most dismissive, actually know the least about the way things actually work (I mean both mechanically, and politically).

It's not "argument from authority", but specific, concrete observations based on knowledge and experience, to point out that the now comical apologism for GOP behavior is not based on any actual familiarity with Congress or how it works. And I have never gotten the sense that the apologists (to use a broad brush, and to unintentionally add a polemic element) ever worked on the Hill, or on presidential campaigns (I don't mean attending fundraisers but high up on the substantive side of a campaign), or at any level inside the Beltway.

If you have, then the horror, damage, and outrage of what's been going on (and not just for the last 6 years, but especially those) are very palpable and in your face. And the passivity of the GOP (or worse) is much more evident.

With a no nonsense conservative in the prezzy and WE put him there, recruitment will be easy.

By time for Walker reelection, we'd be strong enough to at least be a coalition with some of the more conservative GOP against the Dems.

By 2022 or 2024 a majority could be achieved.

225 Simple, central, pellucid example: "you can't shut the govt. down" (political reasons, media lynchings, etc.)

When we've reached the point we have (simply unhinged, corrupt, lawless major party - Dems; mostly lawless courts; lawless president; passive/pathetic electorate), there is literally no other possible check on presidential power than the $$$$$. It was always intended as the principal power of Congress, thus the need for spending bills to originate in the House, originally the closest to the people (direct election, 2-year terms). This is no random pattern or accident.

So if the Congress, and esp. the House - for whatever reason, real or confected -gives up the power of the purse, they are functionally irrelevant. And in the current context (not entirely new, but far worse than ever before) abjure use of the "shutdown", then you're done. No leverage. No place at the table.

It is that simple. Of course it's laughable to argue that a shutdown is politically infeasible, suicidal. It's never been the case. And wasn't the case this last time - if anything, the bizarre, ham-handed behavior of the admin. (compare to even Clinton admin. behavior in the 90s shutdowns) underlined how pathetic the GOP was. Blocking octogenarian Great Generation vets from their memorial on the Mall? Harassing people driving through national parks? Abusing elderly foreign tourists at Yellowstone like some east Bloc govt.? Jeebus. And THIS was the pinch-yourself spectacle that "forced" the GOP to back down?

Nope. And no, it didn't "cost the VA gubernatorial election". As exit polling (and common sense) - as opposed to pre-election *surveys* - clearly showed.

There is nothing smart, or clever, or well considered, or interesting about the endless facile rationales for inaction.

I don't monitor things closely, but have our worst apologists (some of whom, sadly, include some obviously very very sharp and well-informed commenters, something that's always puzzled me) been a lot scarcer and more diffident since the (breath-taking) collapse last week on amnesty?

"fights you can't win" - name one thing that falls outside that category, you ignorant shill. You "win" over time, on big issues, and you win by tying your opponents to their least popular causes. If you think amnesty is not a weapon that can be used by the GOP to devastate the "dimocraps", you have not the slightest familiarity with national politics or political strategy.

"Liberturdians" - yep, tea party really, really skews uneducated, low-voter participation, lower income. One more example of your idiocy.

264 I'm all for unseating Boehner even if it took voting Dem, but as I said above, the Dems want him there as well - it's not easy to knock off an incumbent who's supported by both sides of the uniparty.

But for amnesty, which is a huge but, Walker seems like a decent candidate thus far. Yet even if he's Reagan 2.0, he wouldn't be enough when his whole party is in the tank for Big Gov't. Reagan himself only moved the needle a short way to the right again, and we've obviously lost those gains.

I'm for third party first, Article V second, and everything else is lower priority.

A two-term President Walker could even prove a setback if he manages to right the sinking ship just enough so people go back to sleep. Eight years of slower disintegration, after which everyone decides that, like Greece, they've done their austerity purgatory and we can go back to free shit heaven.

One of the first displays of utter incompetence of the 115th CONgress was the failure of the House to pass a ban on using tax dollars to fund late-term abortions - such a ban is supported 2:1, even among the LIV of the US of A.

But yeah, it's the Tea Party dragging the GOPe constantly into fights it can't win. Don't bother trying to understand why "the can't win" and why you never, ever hear that about the Democrat caucus. That's obviously well above your pay grade, sparky.

Ace included.


Democrats obviously can't beat the Republicans and take back the House in actual elections, and probably won't even sniff the majority until after the 2020 census, and maybe not even then. So, what better thing to do than get the Republicans to destroy themselves? Because the first thing the largest Republican majority since Coolidge should do is the old circular firing squad.

You know the thing you dead-ender "true Cons" are always accusing the moderates of, being willing to be in the minority if that minority didn't include people like you? Guess what? That's exactly what you, and self-important douches like Erick Erickson, are constantly doing, fighting to be the minority, just without any moderates.

Same shit, different wing of the party. Maybe each wing of the party will pull their heads from their asses and realize the Democrats are the fucking enemy.

Cooke's not one of the bad guys, necessarily, just dead wrong on this. Delingpole's cluefucked on the Tea Party as well. Even conservative Brits have a skewed idea of how American politics works and what's really possible vs. what's theater. Cooke's good on the first two amendments, but I don't trust his judgment on domestic politics to any extent.

I'm the one hyping UKIP as a model for an American third party, but if you read up on their actual policy platform, it doesn't look all that conservative. Where Charles and James consider UKIP hard right Thatcherites. it's not surprising they're tut-tutting over we bumptuous hobbits and wishing we'd respect our betters. Not bad guys, but good examples of how Brits were Americans who lacked the convictions to take things to a more logical "extreme."

Steyn's a better example of a Commonwealth citizen who gets this "liberty" thing.

Did Boehner and McConnell cave on the Cromnibus, Obamacare and amnesty because "circular firing squad" ? I'm calling bullshit.

The guy who supports the people who collaborate with the Dems is lecturing we "dead-enders" about who the real enemy is?

Your boys have "the largest majority since Coolidge," and they haven't done shit to implement an agenda. They're too busy "focusing on Hillary" to take any concrete step toward shrinking government, grow the economy or revive our sorry international standing, beyond inviting Bibi to take fire for them from a media they're too chickenshit to face on their own.

A circular firing squad can do more damage to the enemy by accident than a well-ordered line deliberately holding fire, much less one that retreats at the first sight of enemy recon.

You don't always get everything you want and the job of Speaker is lot different than the job of being a single rep from an overwhelmingly conservative CD. He's been both and each has different pressures and skill-sets.

Secondly, "career politicians" is an empty talking point. Scott Walker is a "career politician." I hope to hell he is the next president of the USA. Saying something like, "career politicians are the enemy" is the opposite of being thoughtful, because people sometimes have a career doing something, including politics, because they are pretty fucking good at that job.

If what you really mean is, "I don't like the way this person has been a career politician and this why," then say that. Harry Reid comes to mind. But blindly knocking people who are 80-95% on your side ideologically because they are good enough at the job to keep the job is mindless.

Name something - not a platitude like "restoring historic protections...blah blah" - what have they done? All you do is spout hyperbole and name-call - where's the beef? What are those realistic, hard-nosed results we should all shut up and be happy with?

You aren't naming them because you don't have shit to say outside your "angry reasonable man" schtick. For someone who's a realist, you seem to be short on real arguments, and awfully upset when your magical thinking and cargo cult bromides don't serve to sell your BS.

359 Another taste of history, Johnny Boehner's participation in the 1997 attempted coup against Speaker Gingrich.

" On July 9 Armey, DeLay, Boehner and Paxon gathered for the first of several secret meetings to discuss the brewing rebellion. The next night, DeLay met with 20 rebels in the offices of Oklahoma's Steve Largent. At first, DeLay was coy. Then he warned that if the rebels were going to act, they had better do so quickly, because their plot was about to leak. "Is everybody prepared to go ahead with this?" he asked. At that point, Indiana's Mark Souder turned the question around. "Are you with us?" According to several participants, DeLay was clearly speaking for the others when he answered yes. The leaders seemed on board.

The plan was to have Armey, DeLay, Boehner and Paxon present Gingrich with a fait accompli: step aside or be voted out by parliamentary maneuver. What happened next is murky. By some accounts, when DeLay reported back to his fellow leaders later that Thursday night, he brought news that the rebels wanted Gingrich to be succeeded by Paxon, not Armey, who was next in line. Early Friday, Armey told his colleagues that he spent the night "praying with my wife" and decided he could not support the coup. "When Armey realized he wasn't going to be Speaker, he backed out," insists a knowledgeable source. "
http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1997/07/21/time/gingrich.html

Now, please supporters of Speaker Johnny, tell me with a straight face that Boehner deserves any kind of loyalty from conservatives because he is a wonderful person.

There are Bills in the Senate, which would take ALL limits off of H1B visas...

Andddd... they are also talking about TRIPLING LEGAL immigration...

As we allow 1 Million per year in Legally now... with a 325 million population.... over 32 years (a modern generation) the existing limits mean you have 10% of the population foreign born...

Now... triple that..... and over a generation you have about 1/3 of the population foreign born...

NO society can assimilate that amount of people...

361 "Sure, he's proven useless in his role but the real villain is McConnell, IMO."

Not letting either one off the hook, but Boehner's the one with the power of the purse, which he doesn't even need the Senate to use. He could have been drawing lines and forcing concessions since 2010 by refusing to originate revenue legislation. I'd rather have a strong Speaker than a Senate majority any day. We have neither, of course, but Boehner's Public Enemy 1A to Mitch's 1B.

362 Well, if you were a prominent Democrat in the House, and looking at the last vote on the DHS, and knowing you were in the minority and likely will be for some years, wouldn't you troll the Republicans and say somthing like this?

It's not that Boehner isn't a lousy Speaker, because he is. It isn't that he won't take a difficult stand on issues, because he won't. But the Democrats are messing with us on this.

If they were clever and wanted to fracture the Republican caucus, this is what they would do.

Boehner is not clever and doesn't have the tactical smarts to outplay the Democrats. So let's hand any advantage away and split the caucus and give control back to the Democrats.

It's a plan. Let's go.

He (or his staff) replied with a nice e-mail, quoting an article from the Cato Institute "defending" Boehner. This was a canned response, as I suspect they got a LOT of e-mails just like mine. Hmmmmm.......

Every. Damn. Time.

And look what they did with it.

I thought something was up when Gingrich got railroaded. Then we had the Clinton years and all that and they actually impeached the lying bastard clinton.

Then Bush got elected and I thought; "great, here we go". Now I know 9/11 happened in there but that's no excuse for what went on.

Still I kept voting for the GOP. The last two times against my better judgment but I knew Obama would be a disaster.

And now, here we are. He's been one and more and the GOP were given a second chance and they turned around and pissed on our shoes.

So. Fcuk them with a rusty spike.

If Walker runs, I'm voting for him (maybe other if he doesn't make it.) If he (or my designated hitter) loses to some RINO, I'm staying home.

That may very well be true. But there aren't 2/3 of the United States Senate who believe that, are there?

408 I remember J-Pud's uselessness when the Weiner photo got loose. Memorial Day weekend.

The arrogant wankstain's attitude was that, since the major news media weren't touching the story (at the time) then it wasn't a story. Despite that Weiner was LITERALLY caught with his pants down (and, one can assume, red handed).

409 Played like a fucking violin.

If you mean when we voted for the useless fucks you keep shilling for in November, then yes.

410 Shoulda gotten rid of him when we had the chance in January, but noooooo, that would be extremist! Now we'll never be rid of him. That's that. No hope.

412 Cry me a river, non-Texas America. We've been in the same boat with Joe Straus for the last three sessions.

Bastards.

413 The chain of events; Soros proudly announces he owns the demorat party. demorats make clear they own Boner. The direction we are going is obvious except to the oblivious, demorats (and Soros) own the path this nation is going down.

414 The stuff they have on Boehner and Roberts must be bad.

Ghost? I thought you said goat!

416

If you don't believe the Republican establishment and the leftist Democrats aren't in cahoots and are completely corrupt, you are simply refusing to pay attention.

Make sure your foodstocks are well hidden, and make your local loyalties now.

The time is short.

417 wow, they aren't even trying to hide it anymore. they are going to protect boehner from a "tea party coup"? a tea party coup? it sounds more like a democratic coup. first of all, this means that the tea party is actually a threat to the democratic party's agenda. in addition, it also means that the tea party is on the right track. it means that the tea party must be stopped at all costs, and it also means that the only coup that has really happened here is that the republican party has cased to exist, and nancy pelosi is the real speaker of house. the tyrants are certainly protecting their own. but this revelation begs the question: who is going to protect the American people from the leftist leviathon? who?

418 ...on a side note...anyone think that boehner is banging pelosi? i mean, this guy is doing "dumb guy things," and you know what that means! when a guy goes haywire and starts doing "dumb guy things," it's usually because there is a really bad vagina behind it all.

419 The Tea Party is powerless. We purged them from our party in the last election cycle. One in which, BTW, WE KICKED THE SHIT OUT OF dimocrap scum. With NO help from the Tea Party. In fact, Tea Party Liberturdians actually HURT us with their IDIOTIC goobermint shutdown. We would have put Kay Hagan on the unemployed list had Tea Party IDIOTS not forced the shut down

Boehner may not be the best Speaker in Galactic History but guess what, geniuses?

He's the one we're stuck with for now.

And Tea Party MORONS want to turn against him?

Brilliant. No wonder dimocraps call you names and mock you.

You really are stupid.

They're PLAYING YOU! Don't you get it? You're getting played.

The best thing that can happend to dimocrap scum is Tea Party MORONS shutting down the goobermint ANY time for ANY reason.

The 2nd best thing that can happen to dimocraps is more talk about impeaching the Lying Piece of Shit in Chief.

Great, Tea Party IDIOTS.... Create sympathy for him. It's not like he already doesn't have a 'Messiah' complex. Make it real this time.

You people are no better and no smarter than dimocraps....

You want a proactive government. The only difference is, you want it proactive in your favor. You want a Beneficent government, just like dimocraps do.

Only you want it beneficent toward you.

If we ever win another General Election, it won't be because Tea Billies helped. You people are just stupid.

Stupid enough to get played by amateurs like Pelousy and the Pedophile

420 Elect RINOs you get the horns. The good news is he will take down whichever leadership assholes continue to side with him. One will do a brutus, and take the blame and the other will do an Antony and get the credit.

Who will it be, who will it be...?

Divide and conquer.

I'm sure the enemies of civilization (dimocrap filth) appreciate your help.

Sorry life isn't perfect. Sorry we can't get just your kind of White Knight in the Speaker position. Sorry.....

grow up

422 The brazen wicked demorats; Look at how we turned everything to crap, but blame as much as possible on Republicans, SHARE. They are guilty of letting us get away with it !
Would you let a mass murderer sociopath get away with that as a defense ?

Posted by: ron n. at March 07, 2015 03:46 PM (YVQn/)

423 Eat shit Uncle Rick.

Drag your worthless RINOS over the finish line by yourself. You traded us all for the Chamber of Commerce. Go ask them to elect your Neo-Whigs.
