Boehner has not only betrayed the trust of his party's voters nationwide, he has betrayed the trust of those he purports to lead.

I think it was Rush last week that said Republicans need to man-up. I believe even a woman can man-up. Margaret Thatcher proved that as have several US women in the last half century.

I don't think Boehner is capable of that. To call him a semi-vir is a complete insult to all half men out there. Boehner is so pathetic he is beyond description. I read a rumor he is kind of a drunk. I don't know about that, but it would explain a great deal.

If I had to look in the mirror and realize the guy looking back is perfectly incapable of any movement that requires a spine, I doubt I would ever draw a sober breath.

Boehner is very capable of plenty that's the problem. Remember the Contract With America that Newt pushed through? What happened? John Boehner happened. Boehner was the mastermind behind the 1996 GOP-E takeover of the party and ousting of Newt as Speaker. Yes his shenanigans in congress go back that far.

Wiki search the name Bill Paxon and see what you find :>} Look up the names of the 1996 GOP Convention Keynote Speakers and see what you find :>} Paxon was Boehner's go to man to arrange a meeting to oust Newt. Paxon's wife also was in congress at the time and a keynote speaker at the 1996 convention.

Boehner is cunning and patient at what he does. No one had even heard of him till he became S.O.H. Yet look at what he did.
