Some crank apparently has it in for John Boehner. No, Im not talking about Ted Yoho; rather, the bartender who supposedly threatened to poison the House Speakers drinks a low blow. Seems like theres no end of folks eager to attack the GOP leader.
Only Republicans could celebrate one of the great moments in the partys history by falling on each other like cats in a laundry bag. Weeks after securing one of the GOPs most convincing electoral sweeps, Tea Partiers in the House, egged on by the likes of Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh, decided to humiliate Speaker John Boehner by rallying to elect one of their own.
They failed, but in the process they gave wounded Democrats ample fodder for ridicule. They also steered the narrative away from the popular programs mainstream Republicans hope to pursue and that Americans hunger for.

You bad old Freepers should stop picking on the brave Boo Hoo!
Real pi$$ poor leadership, maybe.
LEAVE BOEHNER ALONE!!!!
Republicans are largely rinos in the political class and are both inept and enablers of the lunacy of the political left.
They will probably live and spend in their glass bubbles in DC as the nation dies.
In many respects, Boehner epitomizes the GOP (Gutless Old Party). He passes for what the GOP believes to be “leadership”.
Boehner a bonehead rino and can kiss Nancy Pelosi to death as he does nothing to represent conservatives in America.
Boehner must be worse than we thought if the democrats are defending him
Sadly it boils down to perspective. Boehner is conservative compared to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Just not principled enough to satisfy Tea Party aligned conservatives.
I am willing give Boehner a chance to prove himself, but he has limited time. As we should not stop in trying to get him removed. He also has a lot of make-up work to undo previous damage to the republic. But I am willing to keep an open mind. :)
Folks like Boehnor and McConnell count on “battered wife syndrome” as their election strategy.
The fact that democrats are defending him should tell one all they need to know about his "leadership"!
The cryin squishy Cheeto is a ‘Rat enabler. Worthless.
Boehner is worthless. Just look at conditions in todays America.
John Boehner's leadership: Embrace the Suck!
He lied to members and crammed through more than 1600 pages of more than a trillion dollars of everything Obama wanted including massive pork for cronies in a LAME DUCK session.
He could have easily introduced a simple stopgap measure good through March 1, 2015 and let the new Congress take up the budget.
THERE IS NO EXCUSE!
Bingo!
I hadn't realized Obamacare had seen such a rise in the polls.
Bush, Romney, Rubio, Christie.
Nahhhh!
I am ready for a party.
A new party.
With none of the above.
