I'm beginning to have sympathy for Boehner because I only see cursing of him by everyone and yet there is no clear direction on what is the best outcome possible.
So let's assume he resigns, he appoints all "conservatives" to committee posts, then what do you want THEM to do. Be specific. You can't because you don't know. I don't either because I've seen people I respect that are all over the place so how should we expect a specific outcome from Boehner?
Pray for Boehner, and all the others who have to negotiate with this tyrant and don't forget, the American people are on Obama's side.
“So let’s assume he resigns, he appoints all “conservatives” to committee posts, then what do you want THEM to do. Be specific.”
Here is your answer: In the former case, he won’t be appointing anybody. My hope would be that his replacement would be someone who would stonewall Obama’s agenda for the next 4 years, by publicly and loudly denouncing it as rubbish and offering the maximum amount of opposition- quashing proposed legislation in committees, adding unacceptable riders, forcing procedural votes just to get the enemy on record, the full range of parliamentary tricks, even to the point of impeaching Obama for some minor offense, because the House can do that, even if the Senate never convicts.
In the case of the latter where he appoints conservatives to committees, I expect the same- that they provide real opposition, not “bipartisanship”, not compromises or appeasement. Voting no against Obama’s agenda every single time, holding up every single piece of legislation that his administration wants passed, twisting every bill that comes out of the Senate so that it is returned meaning the opposite of what Harry Reid sent.
“You can’t because you don’t know.”
Presumptuous remark.... The point is I know enough to be aware that all that can be done, is not being done. I know enough to know that the man at the helm is not doing enough, and has had long enough to try.
