2. House Democrats said they were not going to continue helping him hold on to his leadership slot.

Whenever his own delegation has tried to replace him, Democrats have saved his teary sweet potato-colored ass. They've said, "No more." So, rather than get voted out, he's trying to play hero.

God knows what degenerate they'll choose to replace him.

Pretty early on the DUmp thread. It's telling that many on the left are sad to see the weeping one go.

This was enough reason to shitcan him as Speaker years ago.

Totally agree.  As weird as it is to say in one of these threads... there actually may be some truth to what Merrilly posted.  My guess is, Democrats are hoping another spineless RINO takes the speaker position.  That said, I think Democrats are going to be in for a BIG surprise and may rue not trying to keep Boehner around.

They really ARE that stupid!  As if most House Republicans wanted this sorry asshole in charge, although I'll admit I had no idea the Dims were helping to keep him in charge.  Nancy Pelousy better watch her own shriveled up nasty ass; he may change parties and come gunning for her position.   :popcorn:
Trey Gowdy would be my first pick too, but I really, really hope he will devote 110% of his efforts into finally getting to the truth of why Benghazi happened.  There are other true blue (red?) conservatives in the House who could do a good job as Speaker.  Jason Chaffetz and Louie Gomert are two who come to mind and that's just off the top of my head.  We have quite an impressive crop of Representatives whose every good deed has been smothered between Boehner and his equally weak chinned Senate buddy Mitch Mcconnel. :argh:

Boehner Parties in the Hamptons, Tells Joy Behar: 'I Am Obama's Best Friend' (http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2014/09/23/boehner-campaigns-in-the-hamptons-tells-joy-behar-i-am-obama-s-best-friend/)

For lurking DUmmies who don't even remember the bravenek affair from a week ago, let alone what was published 1 year and 2 days ago:
Quote
Behar was there eating dinner with her husband Steve Janowitz, actor Ron Rifkin, and Rifkin’s wife Iva, and the Post‘s Smith wrote that “she baited Boehner as he got up from his table to leave the restaurant.”

“I couldn’t resist having some fun. I jumped up and told him to stop obstructing President Obama,” Behar said. “I am sick of all this deadlock. Strangely, he replied, ‘I am Obama’s best friend.’

I just hope the tea partiers don't go full retard until after the general election.

I expect they will, though.

The democrats have already set them up to shut down the government over those YouTube clips.

It's embarrassing enough to have a reality-show comedian as a front runner in the polls.

Cheer up, GOBUCKS.  It looks as though the RINO Establishment is trying to squeeze McCarthy into the Speaker's seat; he's as big an obama loving RINO as Boehner.  That should make it all better.

As for Congress, I marvel at the filth some patriots are willing to wallow in in order to restore some sort of decency to this nation's government.  And I marvel at how ****ing oblivious others are in their determination that matters roll along as they usually do while we degrade ourselves morally and expose our collective bellies to Islamic terrorists in the name of political correctness.

Yes GB, we need to keep the GOPe in power they have done such great works.

1. Gave us the DHS.
2. Got us into Iraq.
3. Almost gave us amnesty.
4. Gave us a great medicare extension entitlement.
5. Grew Fedzilla as fast or faster than the donks.
6. I almost forgot Ted Kennedy's No Child Left Behind federal take over of education....and Common Core.

But they say they will fight everything except when they are in a position to actually fight, then the only thing they have fought for is Obama's TPP.They went to the mat on that one. That was a hill to die on.

No the GOPe is nothing more than a front for the fascist democrat party.They pretend to fight but somehow, those rascally donks always get their agenda and we get a handful of shit. Keep voting GOPe. they will only drive the country over the cliff at 98 instead of 100 MPH.

One last note. Unless there is a great change the GOPe will lose the senate, it maybe already too late. Pissing off your base is not the way to win.

Doc, I think these butchers who have a medical license should be facing murder charges.  I truly do not understand why the FBI isn't investigating the murder of all these precious babies.  This is a degradation of our national soul.
Karin, I don't even know what to say about all this except that most of us (I assume even pro-choice people) do NOT want their tax dollars used to kill babies for profit or any other reason AND question the sanity of a government which seems to not care at all for the most part.
