When Mr. Biden says something stupid, at least it usually is funny.
When Mr. Boehner says something stupid, people think he is a hot drizzling fumet.

I wish all you folks bad mouthing my Representative, John Boehner had some data other than to just poke at him.

John has been one of the most consistent congressmen ever to hold a seat.... check his voting record instead of trying to make fun of him.

I think FR is better than this....

Let's see. How about, why hasn't Obamacare been defunded?

Or, why would Bonehead agree to that Super Committee with respect to the budget? By agreeing to the equally represented Super Committee, Bonehead gave up the hard earned majority of House Republicans.

Shall I go on?

Mike, please get help before it is too late!

Let’s give Boehner the benefit of the doubt.

Yes, he is stupid.

Yes, he cannot lead.

Yes, he cries at the drop of a hat.

Yes, he is a suck-up.

But, his statement may not reflect any of the above shortcomings: he just might be drunk again.

Mr. Boehner, if you REALLY believe that, please get the 99% together and come up with an answer to this question from Lord Monckton:

To all my Republican friends I say this. You will come to regret, and regret bitterly, the day you stood down when you should have stood up and stood to. You should have upheld the Constitution. You betrayed it. Not only you but your nation will pay dearly for your treason by inaction.

The world will miss the U.S. Constitution. You have let the torch in the hand of Liberty flicker and die. Why?

Mike, Obama has pushed forward more of his leftist agenda with John Boehner as Speaker than when Nancy Pelosi was. Telling!

And I know ObamaCare was when Pelosi was Speaker so no need to come back with that.

Sarah Palin and the Tea Party worked their butts off in 2010 to get the Pubs back in power, and won the House as a result.

Then we get this idiot back as Speaker, and the last two years have been a complete waste of time.


I agree 100%

“These men (government officials), in point of fact, are seldom if ever moved by anything rationally describable as public spirit; there is actually no more public spirit among them than among so many burglars or street-walkers. Their purpose, first, last and all the time, is to promote their private advantage, and to that end, and that end alone, they exercise all the vast powers that are in their hands.... “

Bravo Sierra, Bonehead Boehner. Ninety-nine percent of your colleagues are thieves and political whores, including the Speaker of the House.

You seem to miss the point. Boner thinks the platform is a joke. So do I but it’s his job to pretend it isn’t. That’s how stupid the guy is.

I DESPISE Nancy Pelosi with a passion. Saying what I said was far from a pleasure. It's a shame.

John Boehner needs to go. You're the first and only one I have encountered that actually disagrees. One of us is right and one of us is wrong. I believe we can do better without John Boehner was Speaker. I think I'm right.

Seriously [sic] the house can defund programs all by itself?,

Of course not, but what they can do is put Obama and the Democrat controlled Senate in a box by adding an amendment to the continuing resolution (CR) to prohibit all federal funds from being spent to implement or enforce the provisions of Obamacare.

Since Reid refuses to present a budget to fund the government for the past three years, the only way the government is funded is through a series of continuing resolutions (CRs) which the House must agree to.

Boehner has successfully blocked attempts by Tea Party members and others to insert language into the now multiple CRs that would result in the defunding of Obamacare.

Honestly what will it take to get rid of this guy. He has that passive/aggressive personality type common with addicts. I am also convinced that somebody has something bad on him. Pictures. Damaging ones. This is pure speculation on my part, but for years I get a squirly, creepy feeling everytime I lay eyes on him. He and McConnell both need to go. Badly.
