In Boehner’s defense, he thought he’d retire as the minority leader. He never wanted the job as speaker. We thrust it upon him. I say we do him a favor and thrust it upon someone who wants the job.
“...who wants the job.”
IMHO, that is the key, i.e., a person has got to want the job before he should be thrown into the leadership “cauldron.” And, I think Rep. West, by these statements, is saying he wants the job. It’s similar to Newt, he has shown that he wants the job(President)by his public persistence/tenacity/facing adversity; and, if for no other reason, I would support Newt-—what do we want to enable Obama to complete his transition/destruction of this country over another four years?
When something doesn’t work out, you change it, you don’t keep doing the same thing repeatedly getting the same result—if you do, that comes close to a definition of insanity.
