RSSTexas Republican Louis Gohmert Announces He Will Challenge to John Boehner for Speaker of the House in New Congress
FINALLY, A REPUBLICAN US REPRESENTATIVE WITH A CLUE THAT THE GOP VOTERS WANT NEW LEADERSHIP …
This morning on FOX News, Fox and Friends Weekend, US Representative Louis Gohmert (R-Texas) announced that he will be challenging John Boehner (R-Ohio) for the Speaker of the House in the new Congress. Gohmert said, if he is elected Speaker, he would “fight amnesty tooth and nail. We’ll use the powers of the purse. We’ll have better oversight. We’ll fight to defund ObamaCare.” Unless the Republican party wants to lose its base forever, newly elected and establishment GOP representatives best vote in a new Speaker of the House. A recent poll conducted by Caddell Associates and commissioned by the People’s Poll indicated that 60% of GOP voters want Boehner replaced as Speaker. Voters are tired of the status quo and gutless GOP establishment candidates. The GOP was not given control of the US Senate and a wider margin of control in the House so that establishment Republicans like Boehner can pass bills with Democrat votes. YOUR DAYS ARE OVER.
Gohmert Announces Run for Speaker of the House
Rep. Louie Gohmert (TX-01) released the following statement today regarding his decision to buck the status quo and challenge John Boehner in the race for House Speaker:
“After the November elections gave Republicans control of the Senate, voters made clear they wanted change. There have been numerous examples of problematic Republican leadership, but we were hopeful our leaders got the voters’ message. However, after our Speaker forced through the CRomnibus by passing it with Democratic votes and without time to read it, it seemed clear that we needed new leadership. There had been much discussion. But, until yesterday, no one had stepped up.
I applaud my friend Rep. Ted Yoho for putting his name forward as an alternative to the status quo. Ted is a good man for whom I could vote, but I have heard from many supporters and also friends in Congress who have urged me to put forward my name for Speaker as well to increase our chances of change. That is why I am also offering my name as a candidate for Speaker. (MORE)
Rep. Louis Gohmert (R-Texas) said Sunday that he will challenge John Boehner (R-Ohio) as Speaker in the new Congress.
“I’m putting my name out there today to be another candidate for Speaker,” Gohmert said on “Fox and Friends.”
Gohmert said that after “years of broken promises, it’s time for a change.”
Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) on Saturday announced that he would not support Boehner for Speaker.
“This is not a personal attack against Mr. Boehner, however, the people desire and deserve a choice,” Yoho said in a Facebook post. “In November, they resoundingly rejected the status quo.”
“Eventually, the goal is second, third, fourth round, we have enough people that say ‘you know what, it really is time for a change,’ ” Gohmert said Sunday. “’You deceived us when you went to Obama and Pelosi to get your votes for the cromnibus. You said you’d fight amnesty tooth an nail. You didn’t, you funded it.’ ”
Gohmert said, if elected, he would ”fight amnesty tooth and nail. We’ll use the powers of the purse. We’ll have better oversight. We’ll fight to defund ObamaCare.”
CALL YOUR GOP REPRESENTATIVES AND DEMAND THEY VOTE FOR GOHMERT OR ANY OTHER CHALLENGER OTHER THAN BOEHNER.
IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE, BOEHNER MUST GO!!!

I am glad to see Louie put himself in this position.
The worthless RINO holding the position at the present needs to be sent to the back bench or totally home.

SM: Could not agree more, the GOP is going to lose their base if they don’t send Boehner packing. Call, email your REP tomorrow and demand they vote for Gohmert. After all, they are supposed to represent your wishes. They work for us, not the other way around.

YES!! YES!! YES!!
The Keystone Pipeline?
RINOS are great when it comes to talking the Conservative talk. However walking the walk is another story. They further Barack Obama’s Marxist/Islamic/racist agenda every-time.
Considering the Keystone Pipeline implies America’s reduction for dependence on Mid-east oil … considering the Keystone Pipeline would cause the price per barrel of Mid-east oil to continue its downward spiral … considering Obama’s policies ALWAYS benefit Islam … I somehow believe … with the ongoing support of RINO Boehner and his minions … the writing is on the wall. In other words … when all is said and done … under the current Speaker of the House the construction of the Keystone Pipeline will not happen.

In 2013 Allen West challenged John Boehner. West received TWO VOTES. Louie Gohmert cast one of those votes. Only nine Republicans voted against Boehner. What is the implication?

Boehner is unfit to be Speaker. He promised one thing before the last election and has pushed through a bill to fund everything Obama wants, including Obamacare. He is a weak-livered
RINO who has no compunction in double-crossing the American voter. He is worthless as Speaker and should be removed.
