Boehner has to be compromised. There can be no other explanation for someone who is so politically weak and self-destructive.

You are looking at the trees and missing the forest. Boehner wasn't compromised, the GOP compromised its principles. Let me give you a little timeline over the past 25 years:

1988 - George H.W. Bush nominated, wins. Big Government fan.

1996 - Big Government Bob Dole nominated as the GOP candidate.

2000 - George W. Bush, a pro-amnesty, pro-big government Republican nominated as the GOP candidate, elected, wins.

Early 2000s - with George W. Bush in the White House and Republican control of Congress, the federal government grew more powerful, more expensive, and more intrusive.

2006 - George W. Bush, John McCain, and Teddy Kennedy tried to get an amnesty pushed through (or "Guest Worker" program as they called it).

2008 - John McCain, a pro-amnesty, pro-big government Republican nominated as the GOP candidate.

2012 - Mitt Romney, another liberal Big Government Republican nominated as the GOP candidate. A fan of the illegals, especially when they are doing his lawn care.

2013 - George W. Bush campaigning for Chris Christie, another big government, pro-amnesty Republican.

The problem with the GOP right now, is that they’re simply a lighter version of the dems.

We don’t want the dems, nor a lighter version of dems. People who do want the dems, want a strong version of the dems.

People who want the GOP, don’t want a lighter version of dems. They want the GOP.

The GOP needs to stand up fearlessly and LEAD.

And stop sending American jobs everywhere.

Bring them back to America.

Now.

Granted, the GOP has steadily drifted toward more big government and spending. That is evident. However, my point about Bohner is that his repeated cave-in’s, reluctance to fight the good fight, refusal to stand on conservative principles, and tendencies toward appeasement are all indicative of someone who is either hopelessly inept and clueless, or personally compromised. His posture may be a combination of the two but I think mostly the latter. Its as though he’s owned.
