Where is the endorsement of Brat and a call for unity?
what tough choices?
Boner : new song for ya : “ Cry Me A River “!!
Both you idiots.
Did Boner cry? LOL
Boehner, do you not remember what happened in 2006 the last time Republicans supported amnesty? You ought to be on your knees thanking the good conservatives of Virginia’s 7th district for saving your job. Because if amnesty passes between now and November, you can say ‘hello’ to Speaker Pelosi again.
Which is his biggest asset.
Boehner, let this and your pathetic margin of victory against a 30 year old adjunct professor with a couple thousand dollars be a message to you.
We have had it with your weak, feckless leadership. We gave you a majority to fight Obama, but when courageous senators like Ted Cruz held the line, you retreated. You have buckled time and time again, you have stripped small-government upstarts of committee assignments against the will of the people, and worst of all, you have helped prop up the treacherous Mitch McConnell in the senate.
Resign now, Boehner. Not just your speakership, but your congressional seat as well. Back when you entered congress, you were that age’s equivalent of a rebel congressman who pledged to stand up against the stale leadership of the time in 1991, but you have been absorbed by the borg. You are the borg. Its time to shut down one last time.
We want a CONSERVATIVE speaker! If only to counteract a possible McConnell-led senate.
With no experience as a GOP elected official, how will he know how to surrender correctly?
Wanna bet he had a good long cry before delivering his statement.
Did he cry?
Boehner will now have to offer the Tea Party an acceptable replacement for Cantor , most likely Jeb Hensarling, and plum assignments to try to save his job.
I think if he offers anything less he will lose. And that might not be enough.
This is a HUGE victory.

John Boehner just walked up to the restaurant to mine. Do I ask him how he feels about losing Cantor? #HardChoices 7:42 PM - 10 Jun 2014

Boehner silent on Cantor. "Oh you all know what the rules are," he says to reporters outside the restaurant before closing the car door. 9:32 PM - 10 Jun 2014
I hope that the weeping liberal bonehead is the next to be voted out of office!
Obviously this is a shock to the kids they will never recover from. They’re not automatic members of the oligarchy anymore.
My thoughts are with him and Diana and their kids tonight.
I’m so sick of all these larcenous unprincipled Grifters hugging & spooning each other....
Did he cry for him?
His tough choices mean tough luck and FU to middle America.
