The abrupt resignation of House Speaker John Boehner shows that the crazies have taken over the party, Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) said Friday.
I think it signals the crazies have taken over the party, taken over to the party that you can remove a speaker of the House whos second in line to be president, a constitutional officer in the middle of his term with no allegations of impropriety, a person whos honest and doing his job. This has never happened before in our country, King said in an interview on CNN. He could have stayed on.
King praised Boehner, who told House Republicans at a Friday morning meeting that he would step down in October, for doing an outstanding job.
Boehners resignation came amid intense pressure from extreme conservative members to eliminate federal funding for Planned Parenthood, even at the cost of shutting down the government.

Why do democrats NEVER apologize for their liberal base.
Republicans are supposed to be conservatives.
Why is it crazy to stop illegal immigration, a horrifying budget deficit, the Frankenstein-like process of selling aborted baby parts, letting men use women’s bathrooms, letting two men get married?!?!?!...
These aren’t even really conservative values. These are human values. Good Lord.

King accused conservative members of the GOP caucus of trying to hijack and blackmail the party,The conservative members are not hijacking the party. They are the party, the ones representing the actual mass of American Republicans, even if not the elites. Get with the program, Peter King.
and argued that Boehners decision would only embolden them....
Let's sincerely hope so. It's about time.

"...remove a speaker of the House whos second in line to be president..."
And that is why King and his fellow RINO's are slowly losing their grip on DC. Their ignorance of the Constitution is mind-boggling. It's THIRD in line, you friggin idiot!

Cool. I finally reached that point. I've been working hard on it since I joined the Navy in '75.

Could we call it “Crashing The Gates!”?
Or would that be a copyright violation?
