Speaker Boehner resigning at the end of October.

Boner is out!

Obama has some serious mud on old John Boy...too bad he can't take McConnell with him.

Folks I listened to today opined that McCarthy from CA is the front-runner for the job, but opinions were split about whether the Republicans would learn enough from the conservative caucus rebellion to replace the Speaker with someone else not in "line of succession." My guess: most Republicans in Congress probably think that axing Boehner will be enough to settle folks down - and they'll be wrong again.

Right. If they think what might amount to another "show vote" will calm the restless natives, they may be in for a rude awakening.

Be careful what you wish for gentlemen, you just might get it.

What , you mean like we might get someone who'll fight as hard as the libs do to get their nonsense passed or rammed through ?

Actually, I suspect he means we will get someone worse than Boehner - but I doubt there is anyone "worse" than Boehner on our side right now. We'll see.

Yeah I'm sure it's a "better the devil you know " sorta thing I was being my usual smartass self .

but I doubt there is anyone "worse" than Boehner on our side right now. We'll see.

I hope your right about that .

On a side note;

Thank you John Boehner for giving us something to listen to on the news other than the endless droning on about the Pope.

Obama must really be planning something big to use both the Pope and Boehner as distractions.

This times 10.

 

[spearheadersarge]

Folks are fed up with the retards in Washington! The people have put in Republicans expecting them to do what they haven't done. The tide is turning. Rino's beware. Ol Mitch better be careful! The people have spoken!

 

[Sling10mm]

I'd like somebody like Trey Gowdy.

This! Get some!!!

 

[sharkey]

I'd be glad to spend taxpayer dollars on a special chair just for "him", if "he" left now instead of another month of voter-*******:

I have to agree with you. Be careful what you wish for. The only way government functions and accomplishes anything is through compromise. Without compromise nothing gets accomplished as is evidenced over the last 6 years. I was not a Boehner fan, but who is going to step into that position. If they put some idiot in there - then know that democrats will again gain control.

Maybe we can find an idiot like Newt Gingrich.

Most anyone would be better than Boehnor. His greatest accomplishment thus far is falling on his sword a couple days ago.

I recommend reviewing the fact that 'compromise' and 'capitulation' are two entirely different concepts. Boehner appears to have been much more talented at capitulation.

Mitch McConnell will be out of there before election day.

 

[jamil]

I, for one, do not believe this has anything to do with the leadership struggle. He knows he can win that fight. Something else has to be making him do this.

Mitch McConnell will be out of there before election day.

I'd love to see that. But how? The Senate is a different kind of beast. I would be astonished if a coup could work on McConnell.

[jgreiner]

Why wait? Leave now.

And don't let the door hit him in the *ss on the way out......

 

[jgreiner]

I'd like somebody like Trey Gowdy.

One of the few straight shooters in congress, IMO.
