Texas Rep. Gohmert to challenge Boehner for House speaker post

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Oh yeah, that's just what we need. I'm all for getting rid of Boehner, but this guy is a loon to the nth degree.

Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert said Sunday that he will challenge House Speaker John Boehner for his post when Congress returns this week to Washington.

Gohmert, among the House Republican caucus’ most conservative members, made the announcement on “Fox and Friends,” saying he decided to run after Rep. Ted Yoho, R-Fla., said Saturday that he would challenge Boehner for the chamber’s top post.

“We have heard from a lot of Republicans that said, ‘I would vote for somebody besides speaker Boehner.’ But nobody will put their name out there,” Gohmert said. “That changed yesterday with Ted Yoho.”

One does not have to be a member of Congress to be Speaker of the House..

I thought Scalise was going to take this seat after the news broke that he talked taxes 12 years ago to a supremacist group?

No, one doesn't. But it would never happen.

Name one time a Speaker of the House was not a Member of Congress.

I'll help: Zip.

Are you fucked in the head?

When was Scalise going to be Speaker of the House?

Whip, boy, Whip.

Which raises the question of whether there are any republicans qualified to be Speaker; or worse yet, there are qualified republicans in the House but they'd never be Speaker because they're perceived to be 'RINOs.'

How many have tried?

No party is going to elect as their leader - the second in line to become President - someone who was not elected by the people, nor someone without HofR voting privileges.

That is just stupid to think they would ever do so.

That's why it never happened, nor would it ever.

That's going exactly nowhere. Boehner will be the next Speaker.

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Gohmert makes me cringe and want to look away. Just shameful that he has managed to gerrymander his way into a lifetime of govt welfare.

He's s-o-o-o-o dumb.

Will he run for prez next?

Boehner is an impotent drunk but he's politically savvy. Gohmert can't compete with him.

Elections have consequences. If you support the other side, you really don't have a say.

Righto!

Speaker of the United States House of Representatives - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Article I, Section 2 of the United States Constitution, which states in part, "The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker..." ...

...The Constitution does not require that the Speaker be an elected House Representative, though all Speakers have been an elected Member of Congress

Your love affair with everything I write continues unabated. My, you are a very interesting person.
Now, put down the "Inches" or "Turgid" magazine and get some fresh air. Gee, thanks!

He's a functional conservative.

Simple queston for the RWnuts.

Is Gohmert a better representative of conservatism than Boehner?
