Gohmert Vows To Quit Congress And Await 'Nuclear Holocaust' If Iran Deal Passes

[DonViejo]

Source: TPM

Conservative pundit Glenn Beck said Tuesday that he had received an email from Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) vowing to quit his Congress if the Iran deal went through.

Beck read the email on air during his radio show.

"I just got an email from Louie Gohmert. He said, 'Last week, I announced to the world if the House and Senate will treat Iran — the Iran treaty as a treaty, I will not run for my congressional seat again. It’s the only thing that I have left that our leadership wants beside my integrity,'" Beck said.

President Obama's nuclear deal with Iran had been opposed by some GOPers and 2016 Republican presidential candidates. On Tuesday, it was announced that Obama had enough votes to prevent the Senate from passing a measure disapproving the deal.

who will hog the Cspan cameras when the House finishes business for the day?

[hamsterjill]

3. Oh, please, please, please. Pretty please, with sugar on top!

Let that idiot get out of Congress. It would be like Christmas came early to me and my fellow (sane) Texans.

Won't happen, of course, but it would be nice if it did.

[dorkzilla]

4. So everybody wins!!!!

Peace achieved through diplomacy and no more of this idiot’s grandstanding!

[RoccoR5955]

5. But...

If Louie Goober quits, what is he going to do with his time, collect garbage? Not much else he is capable of.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

13. I hear there's still a Pest Removal opening in TX waiting for him.

[Bubzer]

62. ... wait, i thougt he was the pest?

[cannabis_flower]

66. Isn't that ..

What Tom DeLay used to do?

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

78. BINGO!

[passiveporcupine]

71. Road Kill clean-up?

[kysrsoze]

48. He can spend more time tending to his asparagus.

[passiveporcupine]

73. I don't think he has any left.

He cast them all away.

[raven mad]

84. Sick. That is just sick, passiveporcupine..........

I love it............ DUZY!

[gordianot]

6. A government without Gohmert what a wonderful bonus.

Gohmert must really believe what he says here is hope.

[Javaman]

7. I will commense with the holding of the breath now.

brainless ego nutball gohmert pyle, loves himself some hyperbolic disingenuous grandstanding.

[navarth]

8. Yeah sure, just like Turd Nugent will be dead or in jail

if President Obama gets re-elected. What happened with that?

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

80. Nobody took up his challenge.

[Plucketeer]

9. Oh that damned fuzzy line

Where truth and reality mesh. Where's the "fine print" Louie???

[C Moon]

10. Another rightwing promise that never sees the light of day.

So many of them have promised to leave the country, if they don't get their way.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

11. Oh goody goody goody goody ......

[lark]

12. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Louie - get in the back of the long line of lying Repug "threats".

Rush didn't leave the US, the pizza guy didn't close his business and you are certainly not going to leave the feeding trough that's the US House. You love the publicity and notoriety too much to walk away from the spotlight. Now, I would love for you to actually keep your threat, but no. I recognize it for the hot air involved in saying the words but it certainly is not the truth. We aren't that lucky.

[maxrandb]

37. Still waiting for Limbaugh to move to Haitti

or some such shit.

[freebrew]

49. And still waiting for Beck's waterboarding...nt

[lark]

87. Exactly!

Think blustering and lying may be part of their DNA, or is this learned behavior? lol

[Still In Wisconsin]

14. Unfortunately these people NEVER follow through on promises like this.

Hannity never got waterboarded, Oral Roberts didn't die,...

[aidbo]

89. ...world never ended..

(yet)

[jtuck004]

15. In writing? n/t

[world wide wally]

16. I think he should quit anyway

[yellowcanine]

17. I want to see the long form vault copy of that document. Signed and Notarized.

Otherwise it is meaningless.

[MurrayDelph]

18. If he quits (Please! Please! Please!)

will he be spending more time with his asparagus?

[Vinca]

19. One more reason to vote for it!

[Shadowflash]

20. Yeah, yeah.

Promises, promises.

[packman]

21. Louie often gives me the best laugh of the day

I would semi-sad to see him go.

[SoapBox]

22. Oh dear GAWD! Please! Hold his feet to the fire forever on this!

Gomer...get the HELL out!

[Jester Messiah]

23. Yep, right after Hannity goes in for that waterboarding.

They never follow through.

[sarge43]

24. If only

That would be the best part of the deal.

[Cheviteau]

25. Ttoublesome.

Louie is putting the White House (Obama) between a rock and a hard place: A congress without Louie or sink the Iran deal. This one of those tough decisions presidents often talk about. Louie is trying to blackmail the president. But will it work?

[liberal N proud]

26. If only he were true to his word.

[HassleCat]

27. He left himself an out

There's some vague language in there about treating the agreement as a treaty, whatever that means. Not that Gohmert needs an escape clause. He's perfectly happy to make a fool of himself daily, so breaking his promise to quit would be no biggie. If we're lucky, he'll even make a stupid statement about it.

[gregcrawford]

28. How in hell...

... did Gohmert ever pass the bar? Did he just collect enough boxtops of something?

He was president of his class at Baylor. I guess no one else wanted the job.

He is so dirt stupid that one really has to wonder if the collective IQ of those who voted for him tops room temperature. I'm inclined to doubt it.

I know there are good, intelligent people in Texas, but they are so heavily outnumbered that Davy Crockett and the boys at the Alamo had better odds.

[louis-t]

29. Door, meet ass......

Moron.

[Android3.14]

30. What an awesome agreement

With such a positive unintended consequence, that might outweigh all the other benefits all on its own.

[libdem4life]

31. Oh, Happy Day!

[TexasProgresive]

32. Oh, paleeeze screwy louie

be true to your word.

[Richard D]

33. I hope he keeps his word.

[nwduke]

34. Bubye

Don't let the door hit you in the arse. Downside, we'll lose Allen that comedic insanity flowing from that empty head?

[Spitfire of ATJ]

35. ...

[Gore1FL]

36. One more argument to pass this thing! n/t

[SCVDem]

38. Everybody sing along!

Cause you made me, promises promises........

Just go away!

[ancianita]

39. My hope is that his committee posts are filled by Democrats under a Democratic majority leader!

Gohmert Pile sits on these:

Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties
Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security
Task Force on Judicial Impeachment
Committee on Natural Resources
Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources
Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands

[Paladin]

40. As if Gohmert is a man of his word.

Hey, Louie: You need a history of personal principles to be believed when you promise something. That's why everybody's laughing at you and your proposed deal, right now......

[mountain grammy]

41. I'll actually respect him if he does quit..I wish they would all quit!

Kim Davis should quit. If your job or your employer's policies are against your beliefs, the real honest thing to do is quit. If doing business in the US of A requires you to violate your deeply held religious beliefs, quit. Your god will surely provide. Where's your faith?

[MountainMama]

46. Woo hoo!

[Dont call me Shirley]

42. Please, Louie! Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!

[Fritz Walter]

43. And don't come back!

Please don't slam the door on your way out.
Bitch!

[Jack Rabbit]

44. Promise, Louie?

[TygrBright]

45. I know a few Reps who could be tempted into changing their vote to make it happen.... n/t

[awoke_in_2003]

47. Just another reason

to support this deal

[Delphinus]

50. Go for it, dude!

I look forward to your making good on your vow.

[allan01]

51. so long . farewell. id hate to say goodbye . so good bye.

[onecaliberal]

52. Don't let the door hit ya, where the good lord sits ya.

Why wait. Go now.

[wolfie001]

53. Thanks Looney Goobert!!!

[George II]

[truebluegreen]

[dicksmc3]

56. Goober leaving??

[Agnosticsherbet]

[Randomthought]

58. Promises, promises!

[MsMAC]

60. What a great day for the USA that would be!

Buh Bye Louie!

[d_legendary1]

61. I'm still waiting for Rush to go to Costa Rica

This dude ain't going no where. That lobby money is too good.

[Unknown Beatle]

63. WTF?

"It’s the only thing that I have left that our leadership wants beside my integrity"

Louie (Gomer) Gohmert and integrity? Those two shouldn't be in the same paragraph.

[Enthusiast]

64. That's great news, Louie! Why wait for a deal, just quit now, today!

[7wo7rees]

65. Bye!! See ya Louie!! Don't let the door hit you on your way out!

It would be a blessing for all Texans if you would just go away!
Dumber than a box of rocks, and that is unkind to the rocks!

[turbinetree]

67. All I have to say is Quit.....................

you don't do anything except whine, about this whine about that, here's a oldie but goody
And by the way how does it feel to rip-off the taxpayers when you make $174,000 doing nothing but whine, and the first thing you do is whine..............

[Ford_Prefect]

68. If he quits what will they replace him with? More of the same?

[sinkingfeeling]

69. Oh, please!

[malthaussen]

70. Cool! Anybody else want to join him? n/t

[Helen Borg]

72. Yay! Hasta la vista, Gohmert!

[wordpix]

74. "House and Senate will treat Iran — the Iran treaty as a treaty" what an idiot

goodbye, dummie, and don't let the door hit you...

[abakan]

75. Somebody needs some attention.

Please, please, keep your vow Louie. It would be beneficial to the country.

[sabbat hunter]

76. Don't let the door

hit you on the ass on your way out.

[riversedge]

77. bye bye

[mike_c]

79. yet another broken political promise....

Dang.

[1StrongBlackMan]

81. I would say, "Good"; but, we know these people to be less than faithful to their word ...

remember nuggett said he would be dead or in prison (with the re-election of President Obama) ... remember the preacher that said he'd set himself afire with the SSM ruling ... gohmert is no different.

[Turbineguy]

82. Is he aware

that a nuclear holocaust requires atomic bombs?

[Kelvin Mace]

83. Promises, promises...

[graegoyle]

85. So, does that make 42 Senators supporting the President's plan?

[NuttyFluffers]

88. yay, benefits abound! the deal can only bring about good things!

now to see if he is a man of his word, or another dirty, filthy, lying, honorless politician! yay!

[christx30]

90. Just when I thought this guy was crazy,

he goes and pulls this kind of thing. He's has an amazing sense of self worth. Or he's got delusions of grandeur, if he thinks threats of resignation are enough to sway anyone. I wouldn't even change my mind if it was a politician I *liked*.
Soundbite: His ego is writing checks his popularity can't cash.
