Conservatives Want to FIRE John Boehner and Replace Him With SARAH PALIN

[Segami]

A number of conservatives are so outraged with John Boehner over the fiscal cliff deal are seriously pushing to fire the Speaker and replace him with Sarah Palin.

Here are some of the tweets as rounded up by Politifreak:

Sarah Palin for House Speaker! (Technically, one need not be a member of Congress to serve as speaker.)—
Don Fredrick (@Colony14) January 02, 2013



Indeed. According to Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution, the House Speaker does not necessarily need to be a member of the House.



Hey, let’s elect a new Speaker from outside the House | If not Allen West, ask Sarah Palin or Newt hotair.com/archives/2012/… via @hotairblog—

@ProSarah @C4Palin Palin for Speaker. Wouldn't that piss of the Dems? LOL—
Thomas Nickelsen (@tnickelsen) December 27, 2012

@newtgingrich or @SarahPalinUSA or Allen West need to be nominated for Speaker of the House.—

@SarahPalinUSA for speaker“@lheal: If we are going to give the Socialists what they want anyway,who is Speaker doesn't matter. #FireBoehner”—
Howard Schargel (@schargel) January 02, 2013


Yes, because Boehner fights like a girl, and not in a good way @SmallgGay MT @sohali2012: Speaker of the House Sarah Palin? Hey, Why Not!—
(@JLThorpe) January 02, 2013


Cantor is a RINO. Palin as Speaker would cut thru the doublespeak, message well & garner enough attention. Plus, a great negotiator.—

I can help them out with that one. Here is what Obama’s face would probably look like if Palin became speaker:





Conservatives think that the problem with the House is John Boehner, who also happens to be the last shred of common sense remaining in the House GOP leadership. Conservatives answer to the problem of a House majority that has been rendered irrelevant through their extremism is to get rid of the sane guy, and replace him with Sarah Palin.


The idea of Palin as Speaker of the House is hysterical considering that she seems to have no idea how the House even works, and she appears to no longer even bother with watching the news. (Come to think of it, Palin might be the perfect Speaker for these House Republicans.)


Sarah Palin as House Speaker would delight Democrats, because it would virtually guarantee a Democratic retaking of the House in 2014. There is no way that Republicans could hang on to their majority in with one of the least popular D-list celebrities in America as the face of the House. Conservatives don’t seem to get the fact that they might have gotten a deal that included some spending cuts if they hadn’t kneecapped John Boehner’s Plan B vote. House Republicans took away the tiny bit of negotiating position that they had, and then blamed Boehner for passing a deal that gave Obama virtually everything that he wanted.

[Neon2012]

1. Please Please Please

Please Please Please

That would be so fantastic.

[pinboy3niner]

2. "Newt hotair"?

Well, at least they got his name right.

[Angry Dragon]

3. Sarah Speaks Well ....... Don'cha Know

[rustydog]

4. Really, place a former governor in as speaker of the house of representatives?

She is not a representative! No wonder the Repugnants are so successful, the goober voter is so fucking stoopid.

[Last Stand]

5. They are going to appoint her in season-long reality show on FOX.

She's going to get a machine gun and if she can kill a moose from the helicopter without shooting the kids at the grammar school, she gets to play Speaker.

[Lex]

6. To finish killing their party?

Ok by me.

[KaryninMiami]

7. Why that would be just grand!

Where do we sign to show our support? She would be ever so much more fun then anyone else- I was beginning to enjoy the idea of watching Cantor further destroy his party but Palin- now that would be a joy to watch. Never mind the pundits and comedians---I'm in!

[Claybrains]

12. I'll second that motion

[Volaris]

49. ahahaha how seriously COLD would it be of the Dems to actually vote for that idea,

and put her over the top? If all (dem's) voted in lockstep it would only take 20 or so GOP 'Bagger votes to make it happen...

Holy God would that be funny...it would be awesome to have SARAH PALIN be the reason the GOP destroyed itself...

[MuseRider]

8. Sarah would cut through the double speak?

Shit that woman can't even single speak.

[Aerows]

42. LOL!

You said it!

[dimbear]

9. Just fantasizing about Sarah having a whip, IMHO.

Now a Sarah Palin puppet with a movable jaw, that might work.

[lpbk2713]

10. As if the GOP isn't enough of a joke already.

Really ... you just can't make this shit up.

[Segami]

17. A snowbilly protein shake!

[Aerows]

43. That was absolutely hilarious

with the turkey's being slaughtered in the background. It shows just how oblivious she really is.

[SummerSnow]

11. She would be perfect for the job.

It would be the fastest political rise and fall in history don'tcha know.

[Oilwellian]

13. Careful what you ask for

She would be second in line to the presidency.

[RomneyLies]

14. Who will they choose when she quits in November?

[theKed]

15. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHahahahahaa....oh MAN. That's good shit.

...oh wait.
...I just re-read #3.
...Palin, West, or Gingrich...?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

God, please, let it be so!

[ecstatic]

16. Please make it so

[southerncrone]

18. Except there's that teeny tiny problem that she is not a US Rep! LOL

[Freddie]

22. Exactly, dosen't the Speaker of the House have to be a Congressperson?

Like she'd have time for that.

[former9thward]

24. Actually the Speaker can be anyone.

No requirement in the Constitution (Art I, Sec. 2) that it be a representative. No non-member has been elected.

[southerncrone]

33. Guess I just got schooled.

[KansDem]

51. Me, too!

Had I known I'd sent the House GOP my resume...

[Make7]

25. "The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker..."

No prerequisites for the position are outlined. Perhaps I missed something...

[Ter]

31. Looks like the laugh's on you!

[Recursion]

47. No non-Member has yet been speaker, but it's not required

Either in the Constitution or the House rules. None of the other officers have ever been Members, but there's nothing to keep them from making Boehner Sergeant at Arms if they wanted to.

[bluesbassman]

19. Great quote from the comments:

The Founding Fathers were doing their best to prevent anyone from using any of the 3 branches as “thrones”. However, that’s exactly what these idjuts think they can do; make a Sister Sara throne so she can be Queen of the Idiocracy. Their arrogance is utterly stunning, to say the least.

"Queen of the Idiocracy" Love it!

[LiberalFighter]

20. Everyone STFU!!

Shhhhhhhhhhh You are all giving them time to reconsider their stupidity. Let them think it is a good idea.

Start a whispering campaign for them to elect her as Speaker. Call your Representative.

[former9thward]

26. It is stupid for a lot of reasons but you don't have to be a member of Congress.

From the Office of the Clerk of the House: Although the Constitution does not require the Speaker to be a Member of the House, all Speakers have been Members. http://clerk.house.gov/member_info/memberfaq.aspx

[Purveyor]

29. No she doesn't. One not need be a member of the House to be Speaker of the House. eom

[Recursion]

48. No. Though that's a tradition

It's not required in either the Constitution or the House rules.

[longship]

57. I stand corrected.

This old dog just learned a new trick.

Thank you DUers. Will self-delete my post and happily admit that I was mistaken.

[JI7]

23. do it, i'm all for it

[jillan]

27. Palin would cut thru the doublespeak? Hahaha! Palin is the definition of doublespeak.

[Matariki]

28. Because it works that way

[Sadiedog]

30. Oh my! I laughed so hard my computer monitor is all wet! That is so funny!

[Kalidurga]

32. Please Proceed Governor ermm...

Quitter in chief... And I was thinking the GOP had no sense of humor.

[Kablooie]

34. How do I support this? It's important that it happen.

[jmowreader]

35. Speaker for a day and a half

The balance of power is 234-200. The teabaggers make Palin speaker, 18 non-teabaggers cross the aisle and Pelosi is speaker again. And they'd do it fast enough Palin wouldn't have time to unpack her carpetbag.

[yurbud]

45. who are the 18 non-teabaggers?

[jmowreader]

56. Get a Republican Caucus roster from 2011

Cross out Bachmann, Cantor and all the freshmen. Then pick 18.

We will almost certainly get Peter King. Denny Rehberg is a possibility; Montana elects Democrats and he's at large. Boehner runs unopposed and he's on the GOP shitlist. If Boehner loses the gavel to a teabagger a lot of Republicans are going to feel very unappreciated, and we're more welcoming.

[no_hypocrisy]

36. Reminder: SOTH is third in line to the WH.

[Raine]

37. "Word salad Sarah" no one else can ever get in a word edgewise

that's for sure.

[LeftishBrit]

38. She'd have to get elected to Congress first!

And why would anyone want to elect that stupid fool?

[tanyev]

39. Wouldn't she have to be able to, you know, speak?

[Tom Ripley]

40. Shouldn't the Speaker be able to...speak?

[athenasatanjesus]

41. I fully support another job for Tina Fey.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

50. With "30 Rock" ending this year, she could use the gig.

Actually, she's probably set for life, but I still want to see her on my TV regularly.

[yurbud]

44. "I need to talk to this Robert about his 'Rules of Order.' They seem to be complicated to confuse...

real Americans like myself and such as."

[spanone]

46. i think it's time for a speaker who hasn't been elected to anything...

in recent years....

[TwilightGardener]

52. You know, at least she'd read the House bills. All of them.

[Raine]

58. Yeah she claims she reads "everything that put in front of her", LOL. nt

[harun]

53. They still wouldn't be happy. Would be calling her a RINO within a week.

[Buzz Clik]

54. The Speaker is second in the US presidential line of succession.

That makes the Palin talk a little less amusing.

[LisaLynne]

55. You just killed my buzz.

Thanks a lot.
