Poll: 72% of GOP Voters Dissatisfied With Boehner, McConnell by MARK MURRAY

On the same day that House Speaker John Boehner announced his resignation, a whopping 72 percent of Republican primary voters said they were dissatisfied with his and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's ability to achieve GOP goals, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

That includes 44 percent of GOP primary voters who said they were "very" dissatisfied with Boehner and McConnell, and 36 percent who want them immediately removed from their leadership positions.

HOW TO PICK A CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE
Simple new rule for candidate selection for conservatives: Find out who NBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, CNN (and FNN if they keep drifting to port) and the NY Slimes are supporting and immediately scratch them off your list.
As for finding your candidate, ascertain who NBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, the Slimes and the RINOs and TURNCOATS in the GOPe are most actively and viciously attacking and you’ve found your pick!
Speaking of the Slimes, the joke going around when Castro siezed power in Cuba was the HE GOT HIS JOB THROUGH THE NY TIMES! If you want that to happen here, remain silent and FAIL TO SHOW UP NEXT NOVEMBER!

There ya go!!

Considering recent events, some of the dissatisfaction was put to useful purpose. Now if more of the same could just be directed at Mitch McConnell....

McConnell was vulnerable but Rand Paul backed him instead of the Tea Party candidate and we got Paul to blame for McConnell still being around.

And Harry Reid is still running the Senate? How did that happen with a clear majority of Republicans in charge?

Mitch is Obama’s Biatch , his lap dog.

Boner cried, Mitch begs. No wonder the GOP base has blood in their eyes, whatever

But Jebbie Bush was just saying today that America lost a “great public servant” and that we will all miss him.

Who are the people who are "very dissatisfied" but don't want them "immediately removed"?

Thank you for referencing that poll Steelfish. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the poll and not at you.

Low-information GOP voters need to wise up to the reality that the Senate that they “own” through the 17th Amendment still cannot remove lawless presidents or activist justices from office. This is because, even after three election cycles, enough cycles to have replaced 100% of the Senate by now, patriots still have not elected the constitutionally required 2/3 Senate conservative majority that can clean up the corrupt federal government.

I call this situation 17th Amendment gridlock.

In other words, the Founding States overlooked that the idea of the “pursuit of happiness” in the Constititution’s Preamble for future generations of Americans (that’s us) would be to complain about unconstitutionally big federal government, the Founders wasting their time drafting everything after the happiness clause imo.

Thomas Jefferson had put it this way.

“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)

The ill-conceived 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt senators, lawless presidents and activist justices along with it.

HOW TO PICK A CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE

First make sure they don't cry at the drop of a hat, while lying to your face
Another plus is that they don't suffer from bent elbow syndrome.
