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. …

Maybe I should have been more clear....It is my GOAL, and my HOPE, that Conservatives will deny the GOP the Presidency in 2016.

I could agree with that, provided that the “GOP” is the “GOPe”.

While conservatives have made the frequent mistake of conflating the GOP with conservatism, we also need to make sure we don’t confuse the party as a whole with the feckless leadership thereof.

He has to carry the water for cuomo and the rest of the GOPe

“You can’t appease these people.”

This from the man who is friends with IRA terrorist Gerry Adams.

For me the Republican Party is dead, they just don't know it yet.

Conservatives should have zero to do with a party that undermines us at every turn, actively campaigns against us every election, legislatively marginalizes us every day in the House and Senate.

And then goes to print and broadcast media to brag about it, call us crazy, bible thumpers, white trash, Jesusland racists and freaks. I could go on.

Why would any Conservative remain in this party?

“You can’t appease these people.”

Hard to tell since you've never tried.

The real problem is that the only people they've tried to "appease", are the leftists and Marxists they were elected to STOP.
