Today, speaking at the Values Voter Summit in Washington, DC, Senator Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) ripped into the leadership of outgoing Speaker of the House Rep. John Boehner (R-OH). “Yesterday, John Boehner was Speaker of the House,” Cruz said. “Ya’ll come to town and somehow that changes.” Cruz added that the crowd should come to DC more often.
But Boehner’s exit also sets up a major choice for Cruz – and a potential moment of strength. Boehner reportedly intends to ram through a budget deal with the help of Democrats in order to forestall a potential government shutdown over funding of Planned Parenthood.
Already, Senate Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who has vowed not to shut down the government over Planned Parenthood, put up a show vote on Planned Parenthood, which went down to inevitable defeat, and then advanced a clean continuing resolution funding the government and Planned Parenthood.
Senator Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) explained McConnell’s strategy: “Rather than resting all our hopes on a strategy that will achieve no result and will be manipulated by Democrats and the media, I believe we should fund the government, fully investigate Planned Parenthood, and focus our efforts on electing pro-life leaders.”(continued)

“As a Catholic, John Boehner’s last action is going to be to make sure Planned Parenthood continues to be funded by the taxpayers? That’s Boehner’s legacy, yet one more betrayal of conservatism and human morality?” -Buck Sexton
Going out with a bang. Pretty fair chance that they’ll ram amnesty through as well.
Had enough sham elections yet? See tagline.
This is exactly why this sorrya**ed excuse of a person is not leaving now but waiting to fund more murders. There will be a special place in hell for him.
Ok, but why is Cruz the “last hope?” Why isn’t there a “conservative caucus” of Cruz, Scott, Ernst, Sessions, Johanns, and some of the others who “claim” they are conservative?
Senator Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) explained McConnell’s strategy: “Rather than resting all our hopes on a strategy that will achieve no result and will be manipulated by Democrats and the media, I believe we should fund the government, fully investigate Planned Parenthood, and focus our efforts on electing pro-life leaders.
Spineless wimps.
We need Tina Turner to write a new version of “We Don’t Need Another Hero” for John Bonehead Boehner.
The first two lines could go like this:
“We don’t need another bonehead/boner,
We don’t need another zero.”
I don’t remember the rest of the song but I think you get the idea.
And they'll be shocked, shocked.
Boner’s hitting the self destruct button as the ship is doomed. What a coward.
“If we can’t make protecting innocent life a winning issue nationally, what good is the Republican Party?” -Bobby Jindal, Values Voter Summit

If one of the loyal Conservatives doesn't become Speaker, they're going to have the same issues with intimidation and committee assignments that they had with Boehner.
These people have no, repeat NO fear of the Lord. It's impossible for me to imagine how anyone's conscience could be so dead.
God will judge them, and based on my understanding of the Holy Scriptures, THEY WILL BURN IN THE EVERLASTING FIRES OF HELL FOR CONDONING AND ALLOWING THE BRUTAL MURDER OF THESE INNOCENT CHILDREN.
For someone who breaks out bawling over everything including the weather forecast, I can’t seem to recall Boehner ever getting so much as blurry eyed over the killing of the unborn and the mutilation of their tiny bodies.
Killing babies to supply body parts to supposedly save lives. It’s over.
With a handle like yours, and you don’t know the full lyrics to the theme song of Beyond Thunderdome ?
tsk, tsk...
Good Lord, this defeatist surrender mentality is the reason the base is infuriated with these Establishment Republicans.
Do what you have to, pass a continuing resolution (or how about an actual budget) without PP funding!
If Barack vetoes it, he's the one shuts down the government you fools.
And these a##wipes wonder why Trump is leading, may they all go down in flames
It’s about time he went off.
