We probably need Clint Eastwood again

As Barack Obama rushes the gates of our Republic in his final two-year assault, there is nothing standing in the path of his destruction. There is nobody standing guard by the gate, aside from two empty chairs. One of those chairs belongs to House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and the other belongs to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
The past few months have shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that the only way Obama will be checked is by a change in GOP leadership. Given that the Senate is already a lost cause because of the coalition of GOP progressives, the only recourse for conservatives is to have the House serve as the last line of defense for our system of governance. It’s time conservatives use the House rules to oust John Boehner from the speakership. It’s time to have a party leader who fundamentally believes, and is willing to fight for, our values, principles and goals.
At the beginning of January, we noted how roughly 30 Republicans could have defeated John Boehner’s election on the floor of the House and represent the 60 percent of Republicans who opposed Boehner for Speaker in a public poll released earlier that month. Twenty-five Republicans heeded the public’s call, but if not for Mario Cuomo’s funeral and a snow storm, as many as several dozen more Republicans would have likely joined in the effort. With a number of members off the floor, the threshold for Boehner to obtain a majority was lowered substantially, thereby creating a self-defeating expectation of failure.

I seriously doubt this. Both items were handy excuses to give political cover.
It never made much sense
So it’s Cuomo’s fault. Yea, right. These scum are so power driven by the elites & lobbyists that if we conservatives ever try anything to break the status quo we will pay big time. Who could have stopped Boner & The Turtle? The voters in Ohio & Ky. Blame them first.
America is finished. It will never recover with what the GOP offers. No American voter support just a lot of talking BS.
All empires eventually crumble.
History is a wicked taskmaster.
Yada yada yada ..
Vidi vedi crumble ..
It is the mortality of man that so troubles us all in the end.
We are like cosmic flowers getting blasted by celestial winds.
So YEs.. pelosi could return to power.
Some say she never left it in the first place.
NO Romance in that.
Jeepers, Mr. Wilson!
It seems that there have been many a one-car crash of those who have been viewed as deep conservatives, in the last few years.
