* Boehner calls some conservatives "unrealistic"
* Plans to pass government funding bill with Democratic support
* Says he could have survived a vote to oust him
House Speaker John Boehner isn’t going out quietly.
The outgoing and embattled speaker had choice words Sunday for his foes inside and outside of Congress and signaled that he intends to be very much in charge until he relinquishes the speaker’s gavel under pressure at the end of October.
Boehner took aim at Republican rebels in the House of Representatives and unnamed conservative and tea party groups that agitated for his departure.
He blasted them as “false prophets” who “whip people into a frenzy believing they can accomplish things that they know, they know, they are never going to happen.”
“They’re unrealistic,” the Ohio Republican said on CBS’s Face the Nation. “The Bible says beware of false prophets. And there are people out there, you know, spreading noise about how much can get done. I mean this whole notion that we’re going to shut down the government to get rid of Obamacare in 2013 – this plan never had a chance.”
When asked if the “false prophets” included Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, a 2016 Republican presidential candidate, Boehner said, “you can pick out a lot of names. I’ll let you choose them.”
Boehner then referred to comments he made at a Colorado fundraiser where the speaker called Cruz a “jackass.” Cruz earned Boehner’s ire when for advising House Republican conservatives....

Typical Beltway elitist establishment balderdash. He is just echoing the establishment mindset. The cartridge box reference was meant for this level of tyranny.
Good riddance to this son-of-a-bitch.
GOP critics rip Boehner, suggest suicide on way out.. wishful thinking.
The GOP is complicit with every treason,
and every SECRET Treaty.
Boehner can now be honest, as is his Obama.
Indeed.
The drunken golfing buddy of the DiC and his beard is as slimy as they come
Deals with democrats on the way out?
Thank Goodness!!!!!
I hope the old booze-hound will join AA and become their speaker.
This is all beginning to sound more than a little bit irrational and unhinged.
So, does he get Secret Service protection, or a blanket party?
Democrat In Everything - Except Name
Then conservatives need to remove him RIGHT NOW. Don’t let him pick when to leave.
Vote that piece of trash out of the Speakership RIGHT NOW!!
Hope he spends his free time working out with Harry Reid.
This jerk needs to be studied and his early onset symptoms of his treacherous treason be readily identified in the future. We need to learn not to repeat such mistakes.
He’s quite probably the weakest speaker in the history of the House. Boehner will wear that “distinction” for the rest of his life.
False prophets? Maybe he should look in the mirror when making that statement. I say he goes into rehab after retiring. .
Some see things as they are and say,” Yeah...I can live with that.”
Weaklings like boehner are easy to blackmail. He is no Untouchable.
“So he’s the traitor we thought he was?”
That’s affirmative.
They think a continuing resolution or actual budge without PP funding will shutdown the government.
When, in fact, it will be Barack's Veto signature that would shut down the government.
Why couldn't Boehner make the "deal" with Dems without PP funding if he's such a deal-maker?
Fools!
Boehner reminds me of the guy in Office Space, who explains he’s important to the company’s operations because he has “people skills” and insists that “people like me”. Luckily he gets hit by a car and almost killed to spare being fired.
Bohner, you are a disgusting, crying example of Washington DC feces.
You are an incompetent boob who can’t begin to understand how to responsibly handle your commission to do what your own voters and your party has needed of you.
You will likely end your life by drinking yourself to death. Thankfully, you will shed plenty of your own tears as you rot, because the rest of us won’t, as we will merely comment about the disaster of a man you were for what should have been many productive years of your life.
I mean this whole notion that we’re going to shut down the government to get rid of Obamacare in 2013 – this plan never had a chance.”
Is Boehner really that stupid? I guess the DNA is simply not there and he didn’t learn much sweeping bar for his dad.
