John Boehner Implies He May Step Down As House Speaker

John Boehner won’t say if he will be serving another two years as the House Speaker.

“Listen, I’m going to be 65 years old in November,” Boehner stated. “I’d never thought I’d live to be 60. So I’m living on borrowed time.” In addition to his age, Boehner has had to deal with a large number of rebellious House conservative Republicans. How large a number? According to conservatives involved in the deliberations, 40 to 50 new members have already verbally committed to electing a new Speaker. Conservative organizers say that they could force Boehner to step aside as Speaker in late November, when the incoming GOP conference meets.

Translation: Soros chose Obama’s successor and it’s not Boehner.

As heat dials up on NWO (via Benghazi) Hussein will be removed.

Arpaio revelations triggering Hussein’s removal as usurper is too damaging to NWO, so they’ll usher Hussein out because of ‘scandal, scandal.’

When Arpaio fraud announcements hit, Biden will be toast too. Next in line is Boehner but sounds like he took the money and he’s headed to the beach.

No rejoicing from me yet. Given that liberals control the entire Republican party, Boehner’s successor could be even more of a lefty and a traitor.

Boehner and the rest of the liberals and RINOs should all be thrown into military detention centers for the crime of treason; otherwise, the cycle will continue.

Sort of like to see ole Boehner go up on the capitol building where they run American flags up and down a pole and jump.

For his undying loyalty to the GOP-E & DEMs plight since the mid 1990’s even if he left congress he would be well rewarded with lobbying or other corporate positions. Boehner is the man behind the ouster of Newt as S.O.H. and the handing over control of the party to the GOP-E. He was Teddy K and now Reid’s Useful Idiot.

The problem here is that Boehner isn't really just waxing philosophical about stepping down. He's threatening to, believing that it will strengthen his position as Speaker.

The guy looks in the mirror every day and sees someone he believes is completely indispensable to holding the GOP Caucus together, and assumes everyone else (at least in the GOP caucus) knows it. This probably has more to do with Boehner pushing the caucus towards immigration reform than any alleged "health issues" he may/may not be having.

IOW, what we're seeing is him trying to pull this:

Boehner stepping down next term will not accomplish what we want.

Boehner has shown a recent tendency to ignore the Hastert rule and has again sided with democrats to pass legislation.

He has also promised that the House will pass amnesty and send it on to the Senate THIS TERM.

When would that be? It is possible that he’ll betray his own party and do it before this election and throw the House to Nancy Pelosi. That is less likely.

He’ll do it during the lame duck session after the mid-terms in November. He and the democrats will quickly pass it in the House. Then it will be quickly passed to the Senate, and Reid will use another expansion of the nuclear option if he has to, but I suspect the rinos there have numbers enough to prevent a filibuster.

We need to replace Boehner prior to November of this year.

That is a weird statement does he have health issues?

Really, you have to ask.....

No spine

Over active tear ducts.

lack of a working moral compass.

Bent over backwards to subjugate the Constitution... so Slipped disk, and a cranial rectal inversion impaction.

Although I am not a licensed doctor, I did practice medicine for 16 years without the restrictions of a license....

And stayed in a Holiday Inn Express in the UAE, several times.
