In the last 60 years, there have been 3 Republican Speakers, and 2 of them are Boehner & Hastert.

Surely, the Republican Party can do better. Or can they?!

McConnell (RAT-Turtle Party) — Senate Leader
Boehner (RAT-Traitor Party) — House Leader

AND they can’t (or won’t) get a new bridge built across the Ohio River. I guess we have to wait until the old one collapses and people are killed.

And every December I get nostalgic and stick my head in an oven. It too is a dry heat. But it’s never the same. Ovens don’t get hot enough ;)

I blame this on all the so-called conservatives who are purists and idiots and stated home in 2008 and 2012! /sarc

In 2016 we need to vote for Republicans and hold their feet to the fire. They’ll get the message that John Boehner needs to go. /sarc

You can still see those comments on FR. It’s mind boggling.

And every house member who voted for this, and voted for him, are cowards, stupid, or liars.

True, but it’s also good to remember that he’s a complete winner. He’ll be speaker as long as Republicans control the house. He has always done this and keeps being speaker.

He was speaker, the Republicans won, so they reelected him speaker. The only way to defeat Boehner is to defeat Republicans.

He showed that back in 2010, yet conservatives voted for Republicans who they knew would vote for Boehner.

By who? This is nothing new for him, yet a bunch of reps from deeply conservative district voted him as speaker. Most of them will be reelected in their districts, and they’ll make him speaker again.

And those Republicans who voted to retain the House Boner as Speaker included my representative, Tom McClintock (R-CA) who, up until yesterday's vote to cede legislative authority to the executive branch, was one the the few conservative stalwarts in the House. Very disappointing.

I no longer refer to the GOP as the "Stupid Party"; a more apt moniker is the "Duplicitous Party". Since in a growing number of issues we can no longer distinguish between the political parties, we may as well have two "D" parties on the path to European Socialism.

That’s assuming what’s happening is not what they want. They keep in good graces with the lobbyist, they stay in their cushy jobs with low interest real estate loans and sweet investment deals, and they keep getting elected because they throw meaningless bones at the base now and then. The GOP keeps putting Boehner in because he delivers. They’ll suffer no consequences because we’ll keep voting for lesser-of-two-evils.

And the conservatives who have been truly consistent (Jim Bridenstine) are really just wasting their time and giving a semblance of credibility to a completely corrupt body. The country would be better off if the 20 or so conservatives would hold a no confidence vote and walk out.

Speaker Boehner and his entire Republican Leadership team, and the Senate Republican Leadership team, as well, HAVE BEEN very badly compromised (as in BLACKMAILED) by Ophonybama and his LIEberal thugs.

I don’t have any evidence that would hold up in a courtroom, but the circumstantial evidence is certainly there!

After all, blackmail is the LIEberal modus operandi — virtually every race Ophonybama has been in at the state and federal level has involved considerable chicanery of a VERY personal sort against his opponents.

We all must remember that Saul Alinsky was Ophonybama’s mentor, and that George Soros is pulling his puppet strings!

Why would we expect any different outcome?

You give these scumbags way too much credit...they have NO integrity or core conservative beliefs that need to be compromised. They revel in doing their despicable acts and they, and their family members & friends, are well compensated by the special interests for every betrayal of American citizens they conduct.

Boehner is a vile man and even more so because he claims to be on “our” side. One can only imagine what the Dems have on him as blackmail fodder. I’d bet it is really juicy stuff.

Since day one, John has remained focused on his mission:

Absolutely true. Just because his mission does not coincide with your desire doesn't mean he isn't focused on his mission.

He’ll be speaker as long as Republicans control the house.

If we had men of principle they would form a caucus and withdraw from the republican party in order to deny Boehner a majority status. That is the only way to stop this traitor and refusing to do that tells us all we need to know about those men of principle, they don't exist. Sigh..........

No. Impeachment is what Congress does to the attn branches.

Congress has the direct power to expel their own.

This Obama trade deal is a trojan horse.It’s disguised as “free trade” What It really allows is for Obama to flood the USA with an unlimited number of 3rd world immigrants ...
http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/immigration/item/20710-obama-gop-trade-scheme-includes-unrestricted-immigration

http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2015/04/dick_morris_fast_track_could_lead_to_unlimited_immigration.html

This Fast track gives Obama power to make treaties that override U.S. laws. It’s the destruction of the republic.It gives obama unlimited dictatorial power to destroy the U.S. Proof here :

http://getliberty.org/oppose-trade-authority-for-obama-on-pacific-trade-deal/
http://www.conservativehq.com/node/20233

Obama , Hillary, Jeb Bush ,Boner etc. all the villains support this evil bill. And the worst villain the mainstream media is for that obama trade bill because they are hiding it from the American people as they hide the Obama IRS scandal and other abuses of power.
