As I have been writing about
for nearly 2 weeks, this is exactly what Conservatives need to do to take over
the House. As to who steps up to take
over, I don’t know. Although the fact
that Eric Cantor vote against the House Fiscal Cliff deal may mean
something.
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.
AMA is hardly the only conservative entity aware of the
rekindled effort afoot to unseat Boehner. Another conservative with inside
knowledge of the effort told Breitbart News that the movement has
"new focus and juice," and if enough members go to Boehner telling
him they won’t support his re-election, that Americans should “watch for him to
resign gracefully.”
