Prayers have been answered and John Boehner announced he is resigning. Boehner stonewalled when it came to putting forth strong conservative principles - those that hold firm to the Constitution and traditional American values. Instead of standing up and fighting for what's right for America he offered excuses. If he wasn't guaranteed success, it seemed he'd give up. Conservatives are screaming to "pass it and let Obama veto it!" Make Obama go on the record with his vetos, don't forgo a vote because you won't win or it might cause confrontation. Getting along was more important than doing what's right. A Republican controlled congress was elected for a reason. We need strong people who will stand for the principles this nation was founded on, and not back down in the face of opposition. Even if you can't win, at least try. Make your stand and try. Instead, we got surrender.
Replacing Boehner as Speaker means a true conservative will be in the driver's seat! Not so fast. It appears the Kevin McCarthy from California will most likely replace Boehner. McCarthy is an establishment moderate who most believe would not stand firm on the most important issues we face. With McCarthy, we may not notice much difference from a Boehner Speakership. This must not happen.
Anyone can be nominated for Speaker so it's not a given that McCarthy has to step into the position. It's important that House conservatives reach a consensus on who best represents American principles and can provide strong leadership, then band together and support that person with their vote. House Republicans, don't waste the opportunity to elect a Speaker who will aggressively fight for American principles. We're praying for you as you make this very important decision.
