The Right Scoop
We need to get Speaker Bonehead out of the House!!! He is a total JOKE! What an absolute LOSER!!! Now Pelosi is making fun of him. Hey Ohio...WAKE UP!!!!
How sweet.......Cantor nominates Boehner and Boehner nominates Cantor......back in junior high again. AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
I called to thank Gohmert and a real live person answered the phone. Gingrich should have been our nominee. He would have handed obama his butt on silver platter during the debates!
I'm keeping my yard sign, maybe there will be a next time.
Louis Gohmert is a Texan so they are going to find out first hand you don't mess with Texas. It might just be Texas that saves this country from itself.
Cantor is another one I would like to see go and replaced with a conservative.
I called congressman Gohmerts office and my congressmen as well to let them know that i appreciate someone trying to shake things up and fight for conservatism instead of always trying to get along.
I just called Gohmert's office to thank him. His secretary seemed pleasantly surprised by my call. I hope more people call to thank him for being the only Congressman to have any spine.
No one seems to remember that Newt's vitriolic attacks against Romney, gave Obama all of the ammunition he needed to run his campaign of lies and insults. Ronald Reagan always said you should never trash another Republican.
BS. You really think liberals needed Newt to give them ideas on how to attack Romney? Pleeeeeeese!!!!!!!
They were involved in a primary. There were attacks going both ways. I'm sure if Newt had won the nomination, Obama would have borrowed some of the attacks Romney had used against Newt. Once Romney received the nomination, Newt supported him fully.
With all do respect I believe you're either forgetting or you're one of Gingrich's guys but he (and Perry) was very bitter and nasty in his attacks of Romney and I was no Romney supporter. Santorum and Romney on the other hand was what you call a tough primary which got personal but stayed on the level of a primary.
I don't disagree with you that Gingrich's attacks had no influence on Obama since Obama has no rules or limits and would have done what he did regardless, but we can agree that there is a way to play the game and there is a line not to cross and Obama and Gingrich both crossed that line in an effort to get the results they wanted and that is my reason for having no respect for Newt. That being said Gohmert's move in my view has nothing to do with Newt but rather a fighting spirit to save this great nation and no a go along to get along attitude.
Newt wasn't my first choice, but once the field had narrowed to Romney, Newt, and Santorum, I was for Newt, so I guess that makes me one of Gingrich's guys. I do agree that some of Newt's criticisms of Romney regarding Bain were over the top, but Romney was also very tough on Gingrich and Santorum, albeit through his surrogates.
I don't think any of Gingrich's attacks on Romney had any effect in the general election. Obama didn't need any help from Gingrich to attack Romney for being wealthy. That's what Obama does, and he would have done it regardless of what happened in the primary.
True, but the point remains that congressman Gohmert is trying to fix this country and not follow the rest of our representatives always trying to get along instead of doing whats in our nations best interest.
Doesn't anyone see that Newt was partially responsible for Romney's loss. His vitriolic diatribes against Romney's wealth and business experience was great ammunition for the lying, spinning Obama campaign. Even if he were still in congress, he would not deserve any honor like this.
If I recall, Obama implied the Clintons were racists during their primary, and look how they made nice afterwards, in both 2008 and 2012. That was one of the nastiest primaries ever (because Obama Chicago thug machine was involved, of course).
Class warfare is Socialist/Marxism/Communism 101. Obama would've attacked Romney for it anyway. He's spent the first 4 years of his presidency expressing hatred for the rich. Do you think Romney would've escaped the obvious during the election if it hadn't been for Newt? C'mon.
NO I DON"T !
I voted for Romney, Lets put this in it's rightful perspective, shall we ? R/R ran their campaign not to loose ! Obama on the other hand committed himself for the FIGHT of his LIFE
Please don't bring knife to a GUN FIGHT, BRING A DAMN BOMB !
They were involved in a primary. There were attacks going both ways. I'm sure if Newt had won the nomination, Obama would have borrowed some of the attacks Romney had used against Newt. Once Romney received the nomination, Newt supported him fully.
And do you really think Obama wouldn't have thought to attack Romney for being wealthy on his own? That's what Obama does. He didn't need any help from Newt.
Not one more cent to the RNC. Too bad more Rep. don't have the fortitude of Gohmert! Don't understand why he didn't nominate someone else tho.
Apparantly it's very hard to get someone to challenge the existing speaker, because there are things he can do to make life difficult for anyone who challenges him. It took guts enough to nominate someone else. If that person had been a sitting member of Congress, they would probably face even greater payback for having the temerity to challenge Boehner.
With an outsider like Newt, Newt had nothing to loose or fear from Boehner. The only one who stuck their neck out was Gohmert in this case. Whatever else you may say about Newt, he knows how to negotiate and use what leverage the House Republicans still have, whereas Boehner is a total joke.
too much wisdom in you mike3e4r7. Yes, Newt is a strategical warrior and very technical when comes to the Constitution. Newt can savagery further his cause (belief) forward, while Boner talk a pep about it , than cry ! I'm sicken of this surrender early and often from these rinos.
Gohmert have balls, rest are slimes w/sleeze
Thanks for your kind words, and you're right about Newt. He thinks strategically which is why he would have been so good as speaker. He prooved he knows how to get things done in 1994 vs. Clinton.
Boehner and Cantor seconding each other to stay in their respective 'leadership' jobs? This do nothing pair of spineless jellyfish are the ones who have presided over the demise of our freedoms as well as that of the repub party.
Has anyone thought to check the color of their noses? Betcha both are a dark brown!
I hope they are asking themselves that question my friend.
In Richmond, Va., folks had a choice of Cantor and a socialist democrat. They totally scorned a TP conservative.
It seems that in each successive election, the choices are continually between the 'lesser of two evils'.
Surely this isn't the outcome the Founders invisioned!
Shame on all the republicans that differed this !!! Newt would have been great!!! a traditionalist and a constitutionist at best.
Texas is the only state that lives by the constitution!!!! Thank God for them. I am stuck here in liberalville and doomed
STupid is as stupid does............. To have someone with the best interest for america and not their own agenda would have saved us. Now the coward republicans have shown their true colors. Newt would have been the voice of reason. Now we are stuck up a creek.
That would have put the brakes on obama. I can't believe not one other single person voted for Gingrich. What a bunch of idiots. Thank you Mr. Gohmert for trying. The well intentioned gesture is duly noted.
Here's precisely what needs to change in the GOP....kick out the RINOS! These are nothing but Democrats, claiming to be Republicans. Cantor and Boehner are spineless, crony, twits...nominating each other?...How nauseating! Too bad it wasn't Gohmert because he is exactly what we need! Four more years of failure and destruction...neat.
God how I wish Newt had won! I would feel much better with him helping us than Boehner. Boehner is a nice guy, with no backbone. He needs to speak out for us. Boehner needs to be the people's voice...defend us, tell people what obama's agenda will do to us. Tell the people...explain what he's saying in real terms...listen to Newt...take help from the many conservatives that would love to help you respond to the BS the WH is saying!!!!! SPEAK FOR the PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lou Gohmert has been sticking up for the good things for a long time now. Ive been watching him for awhile now and like his words, style and backbone. He hasnt shown fear as long as Ive watched him
I wrote to my congresswoman, Elmers, the day after the election and actually urged her to nominate Louie Gohmert as the speaker. Obviously she paid no attention. I asked for a reply back but haven't gotten one yet. Not surprising.
Boehner is SO WEAK!!! No spine at all. Any hint of blaming republicans and he caves. News flash John. THEY ARE GOING TO BLAME YOU ANYWAYS!!!! Ughh!!
Wow what a let down. I was so excited to see that headline and then to find out it will not happen! Should just go back to bed - ugh. That sure would have been great. What is wrong with those people???
Americans, time to go Galt en masse. Quit your job, leech off of the government. The only way the decline, the cliff and responsible government will ever return is if things collapse. Do the right thing and join the leechers now. Grease the skids.
No, no sarcasm here. Should the Liberals win the next Canadian election, I will quit the next day.
Galt did not quit to become one of the parasites. Left perfectly happy to have you join in helping them destroy America.
No, he didn't do that to become a parasite but I can't find Galt's Gulch on any map or anything coming close to it. The decline needs acceleration at this point.
I'm Canadian, that's why I posted about the Lieberals.
Lol, that's funny. Not even in Congress and he gets a nomination. He would have been the first non-member to ever be Speaker. Fat chance of it happening now, not when the establishment RINO's are trying to squeeze out any influence by Tea Party representatives. Gotta go along to get along, and Newt would be the last person they want in the game.
I second, I second!! Heck, if I had my way, I would be saying President Gingrich! Oh well...I love me some Louis Gomhert..to bad the rest of his co-workers don't have his cojones.
Why in aitch-ee-double-hockey-sticks are the current members allowed to elect a speaker for the next congress?
Oh well, at least we're off to a rousing start, with the house Repubs showing tremendous backbone in re-electing a backbone-free suckup as speaker.
Time to stock up on booze.
I've been a big fan of Louie Gohmert since he introduced the American Jobs Act of 2011. I would LOVE to see Newt Gingrich as speaker of the house. Wish I could have seconded it.
Reelecting that spineless cry baby Boehner guarantees Obama gets everything he wants
Boehner justs wants another golf game with the prez
We need to boot the corrupt GOP to the kerb and start a new party built around the truth and the Constitution
Then let the chips fall where they may
