“Why does he need to wait?”

Because Boehner has just outmaneuvered the anti-Boehner forces in Congress. Boehner realized he did not have enough votes in the Republican Party to survive a challenge to his speakership in the coming week/s before the voting for the Federal Budget. To keep the GOP critics from challenging the Federal Budget proposal and vote, Boehner was going to resign today and then hold a vote in which his supporting Republicans can vote him right back into the chair as Speaker of the House once again, thereby publicly humiliating and quelling the Republican revolt against him and the Federal Budget proposal. When Boehner discovered there were not enough Republican votes to be reelected as Speaker, he instead went ahead with the planned resignation as before, but he postponed it until the end of October. The end of October date of resignation is designed to delay his resignation long enough to promote the Democrat’s federal Budget proposal while also buying time to perhaps regain enough Republican votes to be reelected as the Speaker. If Boehner is still unable to gain enough Republican votes to be reelected Speaker by the end of October by popular Republican demand, then he can move forward with his resignation while claiming he chose to resign rather than being voted out of the Speaker’s Chair. Meanwhile Boehner would still have gained additional time to push through the Democrat’s Federal Budget and prepare to have one of his faction’s members elected to replace Boehner as Speaker with the same agenda.

It is up to Boehner’s Republican foes to derail Boehner’s scheme.

I am certain.

I'm certain that you will post more vanity threads as news.

Why is it that you do that?

Who do you think you are?

But, still..... Beohner is gone and there is an opportunity to piss away for the House Republicans. Can’t we be happy until they screw it up?

What exactly did he do that Nancy Pelosi would not have done?

Ditto for Mitch McConnell and Harry Reid.

What difference has there been since Repubs took control of the House and Senate from what Dems were doing?

I wish you the best and yes, I have decided to do some vanity posts every so often, but you don’t have to read them.

People are bothered by many things nowadays starting with Donald Trump. I hope Donald doesn’t bother you, too.

Its better not to angry and disturbed about things.

If you got another opinion, post it on my threads. I think the Republican Party fakes conservatism and we are a Uniparty country. In places like Singapore they have free markets and one party. Here we pretend to have two different ones and all our politicians make the business and banking elites happy. Elites that support unrestrained immigration, Obamacare, prosecuting and marginalizing those who oppose gay marriage and so on.

Yeah.. Ohhh-kay.. lots of words.

Fact is, your musings are NOT news.
They will never be news. You do not write or make news.

Your vanities belong in chat.
Take off the cape and pull those pizza rolls out of the microwave.

And you’ll note that your vanity has been moved to “bloggers”.. which is even lower than “chat”.

That might be a hint as to where to place further vanities.
