Texas tea partier Louie Gohmert to challenge Speaker John Boehner

[TexasTowelie]

WASHINGTON – East Texas tea party Rep. Louie Gohmert declared this morning that he will challenge Speaker John Boehner. It’s a long shot effort fueled by dismay over Boehner’s perceived ill-treatment of conservatives.

In a statement issued by his office early Sunday, Gohmert said the November elections, in which Republicans gained control of the Senate and padded their House majority, should have emboldened the Speaker to get tough on President Barack Obama.

“Voters made clear they wanted change,” he said. Instead, he added, Boehner “forced through the CRomnibus” – a far reaching spending bill – “by passing it with Democratic votes and without time to read it.”

Gohmert issued the statement at the same time he announced his candidacy on Fox and Friends in an interview with Tucker Carlson.

6. The scariest part of Gohmert becoming speaker of the House is he would come in line after the VP to

Be president. It is time to write our representatives and tell them NO, JUST HELL NO. He would not be able to fond his way out of a boot with the directions on the bottom and people helping him.

7. And so it begins ...

The dismantling of a civil society.

8. I almost think the GOP "Establishment"

Should be most severely punished for supporting that damned TeaGrifter Frankenstein they created.
to that end, every SINGLE Democrat in the House should vote for Gomer, and the GOP will learn never to do such a damned stupid thing again.

It will be bad enough with boehner.

Having that moron as the highest ranking (R) in the country would be great for those of us who want to see that party destroyed.
