Speaker John Boehner’s (R-Ohio) decision to resign from Congress at the end of October is “a victory for the crazies,” Rep. Pete King (R-N.Y.) said Friday.

“I’m disappointed. This is a victory for the crazies,” King told Newsday. “You can’t appease these people.”

King said Boehner was resigning “to avoid putting the party through tumult” amid challenges to his leadership and an impending government shutdown.

The Long Island Republican also told Reuters that House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is the leading contender to replace Boehner as Speaker. …

You think so? Maybe the will deliver it. The country has HAD it with these country club caddy boys. The country to whom the GOP is TONE-deaf.

The demonrats are on the ropes... with the reality of the world THEY created with Boehner and Pelosi’s help.

“Conservatives will deny the GOP the Presidency in 2016.”

You are exactly right. If we get another RINO candidate — we will deny that Presidency!! We are sick of the GOPe!!

King is a POS. I used to listen to him on Hannity. Has not been on recently as I guess they had a parting of the ways. He is anti 2A, a lib and should drown off one of his beaches.

You call the voters “crazies”? No respect for the voters you took an oath to serve.

We think you’re crazy and traitorous.

You know working for that jerk as a staff member must absolutely suck. If he despises American voters openly, year-round this much, imagine how he treats people he can actually kick on the job, literally.

It's great when they let the mask slip or in this case just drop the mask altogether.

So what?

Here, let's do a thought exercise...

Conservatives GOP will deny the GOP conservatives the Presidency in 2008, 2012, and 2016.

Does that truth bother you as much as the conservatives no longer following the dem-lite GOPe?

To Rep. King: We “crazies” happen to be the base of your party, and WE got Republican majorities for you, the big crybaby and McConnell in 2010 and 2014 - based on YOUR and THEIR promises to FIGHT OBAMA, to defund him, to stop him any way possible.

You, the big crybaby and McConnell LIED TO US - so, no, we simply cannot be “appeased” (which, I guess, is your word for “played like a fiddle, again”). people like YOU are the problem, not the base that elected you. @sswipe!

Oh, yeah, almost forgot: FUPK!

The RINO’s have already done that twice.Then they helped the opposition push through their policies that have harmed the very people who supported them in the first place.

Good riddance to the GOP-e.

Boehner sells out to Nancy Pelosi to fund the aborted baby parts business but we are the “crazies”.

You’re right Mr. King, YOU can’t appease us. You have neither the spine nor the conviction and principles required to “appease” us.

And if WE constitutional conservatives deny the likes of Jeb Bush the presidency, I’m OK with it. Republican or Democrat, if you’re speeding toward a collision with a brick wall, the stop is just as abrupt and the damage just as severe, no matter who’s driving.

“...Boehner’s first priority should have been to refer to his Republican principles.” And therein lies the problem; Boehner has none - principles, that is.
