I think that Boner will remain as "Weeper" of the House. But in Nov next year I think he is toast.

I wouldn’t doubt Boehner retires.

Yes - stick a bone up his ass and let the jackals drag him away.

If this budget capitulation passes without a majority of his own caucus, that is a de facto vote of no confidence. I suspect he would resign his speakership shortly afterward.

In the words of an old friend, WGAFF?

Yes, but not before Nov. 2014. The way the GOP-E will see this is, he did a great job.

Not in our lifetime ... Nancy’s back as the Reid’s lap dog to give guidance.

Boner should resign to give him the rest of his days to find his gonads.

No... But if there was any justice there would be a ‘shake-up’.

Tried to telephone the RNC to demand the immediate resignations of Boehner and McConnell from their leadership positions, and got the “all lines are busy now, leave a message” message.

Matters not to me any more.

There is no longer a Republican party, and I eagerly await a real opposition party.

Yes. There will be a huge shake-up in Congress.

In 2014, we Conservatives are going to vote these vermin out of office.

Start donating every month to Conservative candidates who will defeat RINO’s.

If you care about America, you must fight. And that means you must donate to those who will carry our banner.

Don’t be a whiner. Be a do-er.

Clean the whole mess out and start over.

That's the only way.

Who knows who will surface, but people will.

The majority of GOP in the house will keep him. We need to shake that number up in 2014. Or we need to bolt the party completely.

Anyone know how many votes it takes to force a new election for the Speaker? Can some of the votes come from the minority party?

IDK. There seems to be too many “repubs” who would rather fold to the Dems than stand on principle and fight. They have no stomach for it. They want to give Reid and the Zero King everything they want.

I shake my head at the comments on this thread... Does any Freeper think he’d have done a better job that John Boehner with the challenges he’s faced? What could/should he have done? Speaker of the House with a bare majority and a hopeless Dem-controlled Senate and a completely dysfunctional President/Executive Branch — that’s the worst job in all of DC. I know he isn’t a tea party loyalist, but I think he and Cantor and McCarthy did about as good as they could have with the hand they were dealt.

Republicans do themselves a big disservice when they start attacking those who have tried to lead under these kind of conditions.
