Establishment Stalling Speaker Election Until They Are Guaranteed To Win!

CHQ ^ | 10/16/2015 | CHQ Staff

Imagine for a moment that come November of 2016 just as the presidential election was about to take place Hillary Clinton dropped out of the race as the Democratic nominee and President Barack Obama postponed the election indefinitely.

There’d be insurrection in the streets.

Yet that is exactly what Speaker Boehner and the cabal that currently runs the House Republican Conference did when Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy dropped out of the Speaker race last week.

And this effort to fix the election for Speaker is being actively abetted by the establishment media, who act like they don’t care or see what is going on, which is that the Republican establishment that runs Capitol Hill right now is simply stalling around until they can figure out a way to manipulate the process to maintain their power.

And make no mistake about it, this isn’t about “unifying the Party,” or finding a “consensus candidate.”

Stalling the vote to elect a new Speaker is all about those that been wrecking the country keeping their power in Congress, and thwarting the will of We the People.

And of course the establishment media – including what one might call the “conservative establishment” are right there covering for them.

Since Congress left on its Columbus Day recess how much media coverage has the election of a new Speaker received?

Zilch.

And what about the strong rumor that Speaker Boehner is reconsidering his resignation and might stick around to force through Obama’s “clean” debt ceiling increase, an Obama-level two-year spending bill and a tax break bill for his cronies on K Street?

Also zilch coverage by the establishment media.

It is as if the election of the Speaker of the House – next in line for the presidency after the Vice President – was akin to some junior high school Student Council election.

But operating out of the public eye is the only way that the establishment can manipulate the process to maintain their power, hence the cone of silence that has descended over the race.

And truth be told if there was some kind of open process where half-a-dozen candidates for Speaker came forth and canvassed the House Republican Conference, made speeches to the various formal caucuses, like the Freedom Caucus, the Liberty Caucus and the Republican Study Committee, and to the various informal regional caucuses, like the Southern States, the establishment candidates would all lose.

The majority of House Republicans are fed-up with being pushed around by a small cabal of insiders. The only Members of the House Republican Conference who like the current system are the ones who maintain (or think they can gain) power through it.

Which is why it is so important to elect a conservative – like Florida Congressman Daniel Webster – Speaker.

Rep. Webster is the only one who has put his name forward who has committed to change the current system where a small cabal of insiders – including many unelected and shadowy congressional staff – run the show and shove their lobbyist-driven agenda down the throats of We the People.

And Webster, as Speaker of the Florida House, made a record proving he can and will create a principles-based system of legislating, as opposed to the current power-based system.

In advance of the election to replace establishment Republican John Boehner as Speaker of the House, 55 conservative leaders from across America signed an open letter to the House Republican Conference. Entitled “Vision For New Conservative Leadership” the letter sets forth the minimum expectations conservatives have of the new post-Boehner House Republican leadership.  You can add your name to the list by signing the open letter to the House Republican Conference through this link. Or you can call your Representative – the House switchboard is 1-866-220-0044 – to tell them you want a conservative Speaker like Daniel Webster, not Boehner-lite, like Rep. Paul Ryan or Kevin McCarthy.

PS - If you are active in a conservative organization that has not joined the battle we urge you to get your organization involved in the fight to elect a conservative Speaker of the House TODAY. Talk to your conservative friends, tell them it is time to burn up the phone lines with this message, “Vote for a conservative Speaker, and vote NOW. Don’t let the establishment stall around until they are guaranteed a win.”
