American Majority Action spokesman Ron Meyer told Breitbart News late Tuesday that enough House Republicans have banded together in an effort to unseat House Speaker John Boehner from his position--they just need a leader to take up the mantle.
“At least 20 House Republican members have gotten together, discussed this and want to unseat Speaker Boehner--and are willing to do what it takes to do it,” Meyer said. “That’s more than enough to get the job done, but the one problem these guys face is they need a leader to coalesce behind.”
Meyer said the conservatives have considered House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) to take the helm after Boehner is knocked out. His opposition from the right to the Senate fiscal cliff deal that Vice President Joe Biden cut with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is a sign Cantor may try for the job.
Swell. Now we will lose the Weeper of the House and have some other worthless Rove disciple like Cantor be in charge.
This is totally irrelevant anyway. The GOP is now the party of tax and spend. They are on record with that on this phony cliff deal. They are done and will never be a national party again. They stand for absolutely nothing anymore.
Gotta (sadly) agree with Frank. The GOP is now the party of tax and spend. There may be a few GOPers who hold to fiscal sanity but the cliff vote proves not enough.
