... Boehner is expected to bring a new style to the leader’s post after pledging during the campaign to involve more members in the legislative process and to offer an olive branch of sorts to House Democrats.

Another case of republicans giving democrats what they want!"da*ned weakness"!!You should always give them someone worse and really make em mad.
Yes, but the amnesty program might be safe!
"We don't need to extend an olive branch to the Rats, we need to bash them over the head with a sledgehammer."
Exactamundo.
Mischief making by the Hill.

Rep. Boehner is the new Majority Leader in the House

Well the good news is, Dale doesn't have to lick fireants off a stick. And I'd guess we've been summarily deleted from the still majority whip's email list. The bad news is our guy, John Shadegg, didn't win. But you know what, after listening to the John Boehner interview twice (and I'm going to listen to it again just to make a few notes) I'm not at all as disappointed as I might have been had Blunt won the race.
(Link to interview included in statement.)
Wow, what principles, what brilliance.
RINO!
He's wrong on immigration and I'm not a free trader, as it stands, but he looks real good.
90-95% right on my issues.
Couldn't really expect better.
He'll come around on the crimalien issue, I'd hope.
Just ignore the perpetual whining baby class.
Agreed, he is weak on immigration but overall looks good.
I'm not understanding your post -- did you mean to address it to me?
Dont believe this. Boehner is not a rubber stamp for the status quo.
FGS. This guy got a 100% conservative ACU rating. There is just NO satisfying some people. None.
What?
I'm not ALL that familiar with the guy, but you might be over reacting.
Amen.
Newt was Clinton 'lite'
oh sorry i menat it to be sort of a general reply
"A deputy to former Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.), Boehner is expected .... to offer an olive branch of sorts to House Democrat."
This is the writer's view, not a quote from Boehner. Let's wait and see. He sounds ok to me so far.
The writer only has that view because that is what Bonehead has been touting on the hill.
