Yoho Heave-Ho.... Boehner Must Go! - Granite Grok

Yoho Heave-Ho…. Boehner Must Go!

The Conservatives are lining up to demand that the will of the people be done: That Congress stop, STOP, Obama’s agenda, and that his enablers, like Boehner are deposed. 60% of GOP voters want a new speaker, NOW.

There are several names in the hat already, and you may know some of them, but as a wordsmith, I was particularly interested in both the name, and the words of Ted Yoho, R (FL). Under the Twitchy.com article, I penned:

Boehner-PlankYoho-ho: Boehner Must Go!!!
Yoho-ho and a bottle of rum…
Make him walk the plank-
He’s a worthless bum!

Arrrrr me hearties -let’s rally round men of principle and fire a broadside against the DC establishment!

Yoho continued:

Yoho-LargeI ran for Congress in 2012 because I had had enough. Enough of career politicians, enough of political gamesmanship, and enough of the lack of leadership in Washington. As we enter 2015, we are faced with overwhelming challenges. However, the dawn of 2015 also promises unlimited potential and the opportunity to begin rebuilding America.

In order to do this, strong leadership is required. The American people have spoken loud and clear by their choice to elect conservative Representatives to serve them in Washington. It’s our turn now, as Members of the People’s House, to echo their demands by electing a new Speaker. The American people have allowed us to choose who is best suited to lead the House by electing a deep bench of diverse and qualified members. Our Republic is built on choice, and if needed, I would stand up to give our members that option.

Our vote for a new Speaker is not a personal vote against Representative Boehner – it is a vote against the status quo. Our vote is a signal to the American people that we too, have had enough of Washington politics, and that we will stand with the American people. This is a renewed commitment of our Oath of Office, the people we represent, and the Constitution. In 2015, we will take America back, we will restore opportunity for every American, and we will rebuild America.

Then Louis Gohmert Announced he’s standing against Boehner, and it seems Hannity is supporting his old friend:

Gohmert-LargeRep. Louie Gohmert (TX-01) spoke to Tucker Carlson on Fox & Friends about the need for someone to step up and run against Speaker Boehner in this new Congress. He echoed what many House Members are saying that there needs to be new leadership, not just the status quo and he is happy to accept the challenge.

But that’s not all folks…

From USA Today’s OnPolitics:

JimBridenstine-Small Rep. Jim Bridenstine, R-Okla., who will begin his second term next week, said Friday he’s upset with Boehner over the $1 trillion spending bill that Congress passed to keep most agencies running through September. He contends Boehner ignored the GOP wave in the November elections and “gave away” budget authority to President Obama.

“Speaker Boehner went too far when he teamed with Obama to advance this legislation,” Bridenstine said. “He relinquished the power of the purse, and with it he lost my vote.”

And from Cincinnatti.com:

ThomasMassie-USA-Today-small WASHINGTON—Rep. Thomas Massie announced on Saturday that he will not support John Boehner for a third term as speaker—saying the House Republican leadership is a “significant source of the dysfunction” in Washington.

Massie, R-Garrison, said in a statement that he would support “a new speaker who will consistently articulate a constitutional vision for America and facilitate an inclusive and orderly legislative process.”

What a concept – three second term congressmen who are true to the principles they ran on, and one long term dyed in the wool conservative, all standing up for what the voters want! I like the way they think.

These brave souls won’t take out Boehner by themselves – they need a minimum of 30 votes in the first round to “walk him down the plank”, and they’ll need lots of support to get one of their number elected Speaker without handing it to the Evil Pelosi.

Call your congresscritter and any other that you’ve donated to, and remind them that we want Obama STOPPED, and that Boehner has amply demonstrated that he’s not up to the job!
