I don't know. Let's find out.
All that government stuff eating is interfering with important activities — smoking, tanning, playing golf.
I hate to see Boehner go in 2014...
I want him gone NOW....
Speaker Trey Gowdy?
Then why run for re-election?
Or... why bother to vote for him?
PRIMARY HIS ASS NOW!!!
Boehner/Cantor = six of one; half-dozen of another.
Retire now! At least from the Speaker position..... useless in that position.
In honor of his service to Obama Boehner should get a free ride out of town.
On a rail.
in a new suit of tar and feathers.
Speaker Boehner should resign today....traitor that he is!!! Oh.....and...Mr. Speaker, take that turncoat Eric Cantor with you!!! You two Obamabots make me want to vomit!!!
Is he retiring perhaps because his Constituents want him gone?
Speaker of the House number - for comments regarding his support for Syrian intervention aka debacle.

Don’t wait. Do it now.
Before we get all excited that Bohener may be going, read this article. The democrats want Boehner to be freed from his “extremists” so he can enact all that the democrats want, with their votes and the moderate-liberal republicans.

John Boehner May Save America After All
John Boehner has sworn up and down that he is going to stay in his job as Speaker of the House past the 2014 elections. Jonathan Ward thinks John Boehner is lying. Based on discussions with “four top former Boehner aides, two current aides, five former leadership aides close to Boehner’s inner circle, and a GOP operative on familiar terms with his circle,” Ward concludes that Boehner is probably headed out the door after the midterm elections. This is possibly the most encouraging political news of the year.
The trouble in Washington is not so much Boehner himself, though he’s no prize, but Boehner’s desire to keep his job. A small minority of the most extreme Republicans in the House have managed to keep Boehner on a leash by threatening to depose him as Speaker if he displeases them. The Republicans hold a narrow enough majority that even an amateur-hour coup came within a handful of votes of deposing Boehner already. If Boehner wants to keep his job, he has to avoid displeasing his extremists, and his extremists are so detached from reality that they insist on wildly unrealistic demands on issues like the debt ceiling and Obamacare.
But if Boehner feels liberated to flee the House, then suddenly all sorts of governing possibilities open up. He can lift the debt ceiling and keep the government running. He could sign immigration reform, even cut a deal on the budget. There’s probably a majority in the House for all these things it’s just a majority consisting mainly of Democrats along with a handful of Republicans. Boehner could use that majority and then ride off into the sunset to become a lobbyist, enjoy a huge raise, and play a lot more golf.
Usually we associate cashing in on K Street with selling out your principles. In this case, selling out would actually allow Boehner to fulfill his principles. (Or at least his instincts “principles” may be giving him too much credit.) I’ve long argued that the fanaticism of the House GOP caucus makes it nearly impossible for Boehner to keep his job and avoid disaster. Avoiding disaster and getting a huge payday would make a lot of sense.
Why wait?
Defeating him would be much, much better for the country.
Might happen.
This is a ruse. Nothing more.
They know he’s radioactive, but they want to push any consequences past the election.
This information is about as reliable as information coming out of Syria, or this White House.
Desperation. The RNC fundraising calls constantly hear complaints about Boehner and have trouble raising money. So, they are putting this rumor out to the public, that he will be gone. I say, money when he’s gone, not a dime until then.
