One down and one to go.
McConnell is next, hope he gets the message!

This is a very sad day.
Oompa Loompa-Americans have lost their voice in Congress. :bawl: :bawl: :bawl:
(Hey, when did we get the Boehner-as-a Smurf smiley??!!)

That's Hope and Change I can believe in! :hyper:

I'm not going to celebrate until I know who's replacing the weeper.

It's possible this elitist is leaving us a parting gift...some gift, alright. There's talk that on the way out, Boehner may have struck a deal with Pelosi. If this turns out to be true, why?
- because he can
- because he wants to stick it to constitutionalists one last time.
- or, perhaps, there'd be a bonus waiting for him pre-lobbyist job.
Here's Ted Cruz:
I will say, the early reports are discouraging. If it is correct that the Speaker, before he resigns, has cut a deal with Nancy Pelosi to fund the Obama administration for the rest of its tenure, to fund Obamacare, to fund executive amnesty, to fund Planned Parenthood, to fund implementation of this Iran deal — and then, presumably, to land in a cushy K Street job after joining with the Democrats to implement all of President Obama’s priorities, that is not the behavior one would expect of a Republican Speaker of the House.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If he did this I think the R party will be done for. He will never be forgiven and he is the head R!

Why? Because he isn't a conservative; he sold his soul to the leftist a long time ago and he has profited handsomely. While I think we have reason to celebrate, hopefully a strong conservative will be put in his place, but I'm not holding my breath.
If a deal was cut with Pelosi, I am hoping that there is some way that such a deal can be stopped. :mad:

Could Boehner assist in taking down McConnell?
A stretch.
Louisiana GOP Chairman Roger Villere: "McConnell needs to resign!"
“Mitch is a good and honorable guy, but the base is leaving our party.â€
“Not trying to repeal Obamacare, not defunding Planned Parenthood, not trying to stop illegal immigration. That is what Republicans ran on and once they were elected they did not follow up with their promises.â€
Could the establishment GOPe, riding high for so long, be waking up? Or, are they a little shaken @ the disruptions, like Boehner resigning, & Trump's popularity. It's my opinion that too many are infected with liberalism, & more likely we'll get a McCarthy & McConnell will remain. When one looks @ a sampling of what the liberal R's have given us, it has become more than clear that they're there to support O's agenda. So a very few, most notably Jeff Sessions, become our champions.
A sampling of the majority R's non-accomplishments:
Cromnibus
Political failed theatre @ multiple Obamacare repeals.
Corker Bill to give O all the power he needed to pass the Iran deal.
ObamaTrade
Political failed theatre with PP defunding.
Funded O's executive amnesty.
Was there ever accountability for the: VA scandal, IRS targeting, Benghazi?

Boehner's parting gift to screw America one more time as speaker. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2015/10/27/john-boehner-and-paul-ryan-do-the-good-copbad-cop-routine/)
. If he becomes a lobbyist for the CoC or some other corporation, he'll continue to sell us out.
On Tuesday night, a budget deal that would not only keep the government open but also raise the debt ceiling through 2017 was introduced on the House floor. Outgoing speaker of the House John Boehner, who was part of the small team that negotiated the compromise, called it a "good deal" given the alternatives.
Lyin' Ryan: Incoming speaker of the House Paul Ryan said the deal "stinks," adding: "This is not not the way to do the people's business."
The principled Mark Meadows: (http://hotair.com/archives/2015/10/27/freedom-caucus-member-mark-meadows-i-call-on-all-candidates-for-speaker-to-oppose-this-terrible-budget-deal/) "I call on all candidates for Speaker to oppose this terrible budget deal."
This poster provides his detailed analysis of what's going on behind this budget deal. I'll post some of it.
Boehner and the RINO leadership chose to compromise with Democrats rather than share any power with Conservatives. From a political standpoint, they really had no other choice. Conservatives would ultimately derail the gravy train and they would all lose their meal tickets. But in doing so they exposed the real battle lines and proved they were politically closer to Democrats than to Conservatives and the party’s base
This budget provides tremendous political cover for the RINO whores by protecting them from facing any more difficult votes before the next elections while serving the interests of the CoC and the Donor Class at the same time. They will have no more bruising policy battles with Conservatives and tough votes that threaten to expose and weaken them. They will have fulfilled their obligations to the CoC and the Donor Class, will be assured of their donations for the next round of elections, and will guarantee the CoC will spend that $100 MILLION $$ war chest the CoC has set aside to attack Conservatives.
Boehner is attempting to strike a huge blow against Conservatives, empowering the RINO for the foreseeable future. It’s far, far bigger than just doing a little road grading for Ryan.
These scum are little more than petty thieves and whores. They have no interest in what is best for this nation and her people. They are only concerned with money and power. They’ll burn the party down and bankrupt the country in order to maintain their power and keep their seats on the DC gravy train.

I heard this on the news this morning. I wouldn't expect anything less.

If ya'll need further proof that the liberal R's & the D's are the same, look no further.
Who could forget Obamacare, passed late on Christmas eve, & using the tactic of reconciliation.
With the liberal R's, we've seen alot of closed door meetings, & now this:
"Massive debt, budget deal introduced in dead of night." (http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/10/27/massive-debt-budget-deal-introduced-in-dead-of-night-vote-violates-another-boehner-pledge/)
The text is 144 pages long and increases the debt ceiling beyond when President Barack Obama leaves office, all the way until March 2017. It also, according to Politico, increases spending by $50 billion this year and $30 billion more the following year.
& from my previous post, Paul Ryan: Incoming speaker of the House Paul Ryan said the deal "stinks,"
& now this: "Paul Ryan will support budget deal." (http://www.politico.com/story/2015/10/paul-ryan-support-budget-deal-215231)

Why wait to cave when you can cave in advance? (no offense to our site name)
The GOPe: "Capitulation is in our DNA"

It pisses me off that Boeher caved one day and then the gop holds their vote to replace him just days later. WTF?
