Will Boehner Be Bounced? Find Out As The House Votes For Speaker: Live Webcast

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The 114th Congress has convened, the House is in, and in a few moments it will vote for speaker among the following nominees: Boehner, Pelosi, Yoho, Gohmert and Webster. Big surprises are not expected, however as the WaPo comments there is an outside chance sparks may fly when "House Speaker John Boehner’s GOP opponents will try to take him down Tuesday.... The defections Tuesday appear as though they could be more significant than at any point since 1923, but Boehner has one major advantage amid the revolt: the biggest GOP majority since the 1929-30 Congress. The GOP’s 246-188 advantage means Boehner can lose 29 votes before we can even talk about him being in real trouble. That’s because, were that to happen, the opposition would need to rally around a single alternative to have a chance."

So will Boehner be bounced? Who cares really.

In any event, for those few who missed the theater from the Capitol, you are in luck with the live webcast below.

yeah right. the last Speaker odf the Hosue that got in the way of the DC Juggernaut was Newt Gingrich in 1997-98. He impeached Clinton and put off the usual socialist/communist progression by about 5 years.

Look at who (Clinton/Gingrich) finished out their term.

The GOP isn't going to go back that way. Else a bunch of them get a bouquet from NSA dropped on their desk/email

yes but why would Boehner lose the chair, because the Tea Party is gaining momentum. this last election the GOP spent a ton of money on ads for a Tea Party candidate in a nearby district. the guy lost, barely, (i am sure thare are others they won) if the GOP is bankrolling these guys they want to them to be team players. now that's where it gets interesting.

The day that anything good for the people comes from this house of rats and circle of jerking turds, will be a special day of truth in the news for about two seconds and at the tick of the third, something will happen to take out the communications and lights so the goodness never sees the light. Ever.

It's Daffy Duck hard to believe that so many human beings just stand on the railroad tracks of evil death and total destruction staring at the fast approaching and ever brightening Light.
