I like how the article said “American people” instead of “Tea Party”

These people that you mention
Yes I know them they’re quite lame
I had to rearrange their faces
And give them all another name: Kevin McCarthy.

Massie added it would be a “terrible mistake” to simply push everyone in leadership up one slot.

Hey Mitch McConnell, we are still here and you’re next. So Mitch, are you feeling lucky?

I find this crybaby resignation crap very boring.

We’ll learn the teuth of how much “pressure from constituents” really matters, when we see who replaces him. One of us, a conservative, or another CoC-beholden GOPe?

Not soon enough. Bonehead will do lots of damage before the end of October and the time it takes to get a new speaker. America is lost.

When I saw the stories planted by that snake McCarthy and his K street owners in The Hill around two weeks ago.br /> I had a sick feeling that K street wanted Boner out and the more ruthless and devious Mccarthy set up to push thru amnesty and massive H1 Visas and TPP before Trump scares off all the bought off Rep Hacks in the House .

I suspect K street cut Bonehead funding off and wants the nasty and amoral creep McCarthy to act now before 2016 elections heat up ! Its going to get ugly real quick if Mccarthy wins !

Boehner's repetitive capitulation to Lord Foul while employing his monicas made pressure from his CONSERVATIVE constituents to grow a spine or resign inevitable.

Oddly enough that's exactly what Cruz wants too. Except he uses "green cards" for his backdoor amnesty plan...

Senator Cruz:

In 2013, Sen. Cruz proposed amendments to the “Gang of 8” bill that would strengthen border security, expand green card opportunities, increase high-skilled “H1B” visas, prevent illegal aliens from receiving welfare benefits, and enforce the rule of law.
He's also all in for Obama's TPP under the guise of "free trade". What conservative wouldn't fall for that nice sounding plan?

But his wife is also in for TPP for a different untold (out loud) reason
Heidi Cruz's work for the Council on Foreign Relations: Building a North American Community

Cruz Fools!

Well, now, that depends on what you mean by "constituents".


What? THEM? Seriously?? I mean really, what modern Congress critter pays anything but lip service to THEM?


Now THERE'S one of his key "constituents"!


Oh! There's Boehner with another!

I think the establishment was trying to throw a bone to the base. You know how easy it is to appease the little people. He will be replaced with another Boehner. The establishment will never respect us, they will just keep lying, lying, lying till they take their last breaths.

The establishment is just the modern version of King George III or the hard hearted pharaoh of Exodus.
