Since Boner took over the leadership from Tom DeLay on February 3, 2006, Republicans have lost 20% of their seats in the House. That makes the stock market a better investment than John Boner over the past three years.

The numbers are just staggering. It is insane for the Republican to keep John Boner as House GOP leader after these historic back-to-back losses. It is time to STOP THE INSANITY NOW! John Boner cannot lead the Republican party, and so long as he does, it will continue to drift in the wind.

Under Boner, the Republicans have lost the faith of the American people. No longer are they trusted as the party of smaller government, less spending, and high ethical standards. Neither the reality nor the perception will change until the old rudderless Republican leadership is replaced by a new generation of bold, limited government Conservatives.

The people like Boner who lead the GOP into the political wilderness are not the people to lead them out!

It is time for a new generation to take over. It is time for Mike Pence, Eric Cantor, Jeb Hensarling, and Paul Ryan to step up and take the GOP and the nation back on the right track.

Boner lost it when he backed the bailout and when it didn’t pass the first time, he said it was because Pelosi’s speech switched votes. That made republicans look like crybabies.

Excellent post! No one whose state voted for Obama should be given a leadership post. Just making that rule would help keep GOP politicians on the straight and narrow and make them work a lot harder to please the conservatives in the party.

n an op-ed in the Washington Post on Friday, U.S. House Minority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, wrote that Republicans need to "rebuild our party by fighting for the principles of freedom, opportunity, security and individual liberty."

Forget it John. The party is toast. The GOP would have no need to "rebuild" the party if party leaders hadn't capitulated to socialists in order to expand the voter base at the expense of Conservatism. The fact is they chose the socialist path.

I neither like, nor trust this guy. I bet he’ll be right out in the forefront fighting for taxpayer funded welfare for the Detroit auto companies.

Boehner needs to go. He had his chance. Bring in Paul Ryan.

Former Majority Leader Dick Armey was such a great leader in 1993 opposition, he was such a hero.

Leave, Boehner. Follow Putnam & Blunt’s examples and go.

In Japanese society, this would be a no brainer. The leader of the losing party would automatically take responsibility and do the right thing. I’m not asking Boehner to commit Hari Kari, but he needs to take one for the team and step aside and allow new blood to give it a go.

Boehner...seems to be getting the same desk-side service as Newt.

Burn the big tent, tell the RINOs the circus left town....walk home.

Boner’s taken over what? There’s no leadership.

Boner’s a stiff.

F**k you Boeher. You were quiet during the election because you didn’t want the fallout. But now that it doesn’t matter, you want to talk tough.

Again - f**k you...

Is Boehner having a Palin moment, watching the crest of the new wave? Boehner, you swamped yourself and your country club compatriots long ago. You have no credibility with conservatives, certainly libs don’t care, and moderates have already pitched their tent with Obama. You guys were ssoooooo convincing. You missed the wave fellow and its time to wax your surfboard elsewhere.

Memo to Mr. Boehner:
Where ya been, dude?

If you want to be out front of THIS party, you’d better start running.
