It seems they have made a mistake by keeping him this long (or ever electing him Speaker).

There is a serious problem in carrying over the leadership which presided over defensive or even passive minority status, and expecting them to perform aggressively and forcefully when the initiative is of right on their side. By then, they have something like Stockholm Syndrome, and have become accustomed and acculturated to defeat, evasion and maneuver - and even acquiescence. Just because they learned to push a broom and a scooper at the end of the parade does not mean they know how to ride in the triumphal chariot at the front of it, no matter how many parades they have been in.
Imagine Representative Allen West as Speaker rather then Boehner. To kill the Statist Beast that faces us today, we need leaders who will slash the beast’s jugular, not diddle its capillaries.
Majority leaders should be Alpha Wolves, not greeting card puppies.
Oh Heaven forfend!
