Need to find the dirt on Boehner. Other than being a drunk, there is something else out there.

The time for that was long ago. Now, it is time for now-former Republicans to forget about the Republican party, and concentrate on other options. UKIP took England by storm. A similar storm needs to occur here.

While this means abandoning those remaining Republicans who stand in opposition to Boehner/McConnell, it is necessary. Any Republican politician is now an enemy of what this country was founded on, even if they are committed conservatives. They give strength to conservatism's enemies, simply be association, and by lending numbers to the party. They give strength to conservatism's enemies, by maintaining the illusion that conservatism has a voice in the Republican party. And they give strength to conservatism's enemies, by failing to take concrete steps that would actually harm conservatism's primary foe, which is the Republican party itself. They are now officially just-for-show, and the fork in the road is upon them.

If Cruz, Palin, Lee, Sessions, Gohmert, etc. don't show leadership now, and peel away from the Republican party, then they are part of the problem, and need to step aside.

I'll second this statement.
