BOEHNER QUITTING! BREAKING....


Can't get anything done with renegades in Congress.

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.

8. He listened to the pope yesterday

And I'll bet his conscience got the best of him. He said I can't do this anymore.

Oh, for fuques' sake.

21. I don't think he is evil one bit

Never have His conscience, upbringing, and religion yesterday.through to him. His conscience, upbringing, and religion yesterday duct through to him. When he says he can't get anything done these likely referring to accomplishing the things the pope referred to yesterday

14. While I know what you mean, this will open the gates of stupid Republican hell.

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.

Way too long in the speakers chair, we could see he was ineffectual very early on.

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'

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.’

According to the linked article below, Kevin McCarthy has drawn a few conservatives' support.  Then again, this was ten days ago.

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.

I would have to disagree.  Boehner was a major help to the democrats.  If a republican  bill got to close he would stymie it.

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.
