    Good Question (none / 0) (#2)
    by TiredIronTim on Thu Sep 12, 2013 at 06:21:22 PM EST
    CS,I was thinkin the exact same thing, and thought about the resistance from the pols. Much to my chagrin, on two separate occasions in the last month and a half or so, Justin Amash- of all people, spoke in defense of Boehner in public forums. And my frustration level skyrocketed as he spoke of numerous problems the GOP faced in the House- because almost every single one he mentioned was a direct result of Boehner's innate ability to be a bonehead.
    So, as I thought about getting Bentivolio to sign his death sentence in exchange for getting my support, I figured the best I could do was get a private promise to refuse to support Boehner. And we all know what that is worth.
    The Speaker is incredibly powerful, and there is a major fear factor that is pervasive in the House. Our best hope IMO, is to have a trusted entity from outside the House willing to reach out to each Rep, promise their confidence, and count noses against Boehner. Believe it or not, while in DC back in May, I asked the head of the Heritage Foundation's House Advocacy group about the odds of ousting the Speaker, and much to my surprise was told that he thought Boehner was doing a very good job. Go figure. When speaking about this privately with Amash, he shared that there were many who could probably get the job, but were even worse than Boehner. This is an uphill battle, at best, and considering the spin on his attempt to deceive America from Conservative talking heads, I'm just not feeling any hope here.
