Keep in mind that the “40 big picture Democrats” he refers to are those hand-picked by Nancy Pelosi to serve in that role, bringing about the outcome she desires (functional control of the House) while still allowing her to go out every day and “rip Republicans’ faces off” (a term she actually has used) to appease her own extremist base’s thirst for blood.

He can do that by cobbling together his 200 plus supporters in the GOP caucus members with 40 big-picture Democrats to enact legislation that serves the national interest,

Let's see how those 200 jokers get reelected in a little over a year's time if they are stupid enough to help the Kenyan communist enact crazy far left policies orchestrated by a Kamikazi, scorched earth, burn your bridges behind you, John Boehner.

the cuckoo aims of an extremist, ideological minority..

72% of Republicans strongly disapprove of what John Boehner and Mitch McConnell. That is no ideological minority. The ideological minority with the extremist crazy aims in DC right now is Barack Obama.

Politics are like accents. If everyone speaks with a liberal accent then they are the “normal” people. The Conservative accent sounds like a Cajun in New York. The Washington Post, the Xlintons, Obama all have the same political accent. Conservatives are wild eyed radicals in their left skewed world.

To be fair it was an opinion piece (of manure)

Although she meant Conservatives, what she is unintentionally admitting here is that the majority of demoncrats are extremist, ideological cuckoos. Right? I mean if the 200 GOPers and 40 dims are the "big picture" national interest ones, then those who are not, according to her logic, are the Tea Party and the vast majority of demoncrats. She can't have it both ways.

Nope. They have asked quite a few to take the leadership role and they are saying, “heck no. not with that bunch of children.” Seriously it is a complete mess. I just hope these idiots don’t ruin our chances at the Presidency. They seem to have a way with screwing up.

Ummmm....no. There were other candidates(including six me more conservative conservative candidates) besides McCarthy for the scheduled leadership election. All Boehner had to do was let the scheduled elections take place. That's it.
It's not a matter of “They have asked quite a few to take the leadership role and they are saying, “heck no.” “. That is totally irrelevant. Boehner(and you apparently)’ wants to game the leadership election by making sure yet another Obama loving, creep with skeletons in his closet, who is more susceptible to being blackmailed by Obama, is elected yet again. Not gonna happen.
