From the article: Another congressman who backed Boehner agrees that GOP leadership would sacrifice a seat in order to enforce party unity. “They don’t need the seat to maintain the majority,” he says.

We can "sacrifice" Boehner on the same rationale. If he can't be primaried out, vote against him in the general election.

Second party. Boehner has proven to us that DC has one-party rule.

This article makes Boehner sound like a petty dictator.

John Boehner is not a man. His behavior clearly identifies him as a petty, vindictive teenaged girl.

Please allow me to make correction:

John Boehner is not a man! His behavior clearly identifies him as an incessantly crying, petty, vindictive, alcoholic, teenaged girl.

The points mentioned above are his "Good" qualitles.
(With apologies to petty teenaged girls)

Boehner is a POS fembot who gets especially emotional when he's tipsy. He is the walking definition of a turn-coat and if you try to call ANY of his offices to tell him that you will get a never-ending circle of messages and 'mail box full' BULLSH*T.

and 1776 is more doable than a viable third party too....

This article makes Boehner sound like a petty dictator.

He's always wanted to be. He's been learning from Obama that being a bully works so the mask is off.

John Boehner is not a man to be crossed should be changed to John Boehner is not a man to be trusted.

Not to mention more satisfying. :=)

John Boehner Is Not a Man...

is as far as I read. I agree 100%.

[The Ghost of FReepers Past]

No wonder he like Zero so much. They are both usurpers of power.

[C. Edmund Wright]

AMEN TO THAT!

[RetSignman]

He only gets tough with Republicans.

[Olog-hai]

And that’s the way Obama loves him. Perhaps literally.

[Amagi]

Boner cries.

Cross dressing Jenner is more a man than The vindictive little be...ich Boeahner. How is he a Republican?

[niteowl77]

I still maintain that John Boehner is basically a male Scarlett O'Hara who will do anything - to anyone - in order to keep from being penniless or powerless. "As God is my witness, I will never be confused with a blue collar American again!"

Yet for all his toadying to the oligarchs, he still isn't - at least socially speaking - one of them, and probably never will be. You've got lower-middle-class flyover DNA, John, and all the self-loathing won't make you something else, no matter how many of us lowbrows you constantly urinate on.

The REPUBLICAN party is Broken...

That is; IF it isn’t a very efficient RUBE GOLDBERG Political Machine..

There is very little about the republican party THAT IS republican..

Hope Crybaby loses his next election.

Connections to lobbyists

In June 1995, Boehner distributed campaign contributions from tobacco industry lobbyists on the House floor as House members were weighing how to vote on tobacco subsidies. In a 1996 documentary by PBS called The People and the Power Game, Boehner said "They asked me to give out a half dozen checks quickly before we got to the end of the month and I complied. And I did it on the House floor, which I regret. I should not have done. It's not a violation of the House rules, but it's a practice that‘s gone on here for a long time that we're trying to stop and I know I'll never do it again."

Yeah! Right! He'll "try to stop it" After he's made his money on the deal!

A September 2010 New York Times story said Boehner was "Tightly Bound to Lobbyists" and "He maintains especially tight ties with a circle of lobbyists and former aides representing some of the nation’s biggest businesses, including Goldman Sachs, Google, Citigroup, R.J. Reynolds, MillerCoors and UPS.".
