What does it matter what we say? Boehner is not elected by national vote, but by a small district. It’s not up to us.

Boehner is not elected by national vote, but by a small district.

Boehner's power exponentially transcends his local election in a "small district" in Ohio; He is Speaker of the House; Is #3 in the line of Presidential succession; assigns committee-ships, and (in theory) "leads the loyal opposition". In theory he is also responsible for helping establish the Republican House strategy and agenda.

The potential power of Boehner to affect and address 0bama's agenda and scandals within a Republican majority is great. Instead he's been a disgrace -- he's wielded his "Leadership" role in the House of Representative as a hammer to help 0bama evade justice while both destroy the Republic.
