Could The Republican Party finally be taking on the conservative mandate they were elected to initiate?
Maybe, but that option would be less effective than Boehner.
For all the hate, Boehner probably has the hardest job in Washington. There are many factions within the Pubs to keep in line. A contentious battle within the GOP for speaker would only make his job harder, to the point he wouldn't be able to do his job.
Who's up next? I think the minority leader current would be a good choice.

That's relative to what you want done. Less Obama policy would be more. A true Conservative with backbone could actually force compromise, instead of capitulation to Obama's policy's, as Boehner has done time and time again.

The position, sure. But he made it easy by threatening his own party members and consistently siding with Dems.

And therein, lies the problem with him, imo. Instead of seeing the growing divide and reaching out to party members, he threatened and took away assignments. Essentially creating a bigger divide and making things more ineffective. The RINO's would have been better served to have used Dem tactics and strongarmed the D party into their policies and forcing Obama into a lame duck Presidency, when they took over both the Senate and the House.
