Translation: Don't spend all your time money on Romney. Donate some to congresscritters.

Sounds like he’s confirming my belief that the GOP has no intent of taking the white house and will lose many down ticket races.

Should say "Translation: Don't spend all your time and money on Romney."

Don’t cry, Boehner .. a pox on you and all of the senate and Congre$$. GoP-ers are at a loss to see the errors of their ways becuz they are blind. blind of their own volition.

there's a one-in-three chance we could lose," Boehner said. He knows it was the tea party that won them the House, and they've spent the last two years ticking them off. If they go into the next election with a ticked off tea party, which is to say, with the rank and file sorely upset at them, they may lose in a land-slide.
Still, they'll run that risk and go with Romney.
They want our votes, its us they don't like.

What a loser! I remember 1994 when they were ALL enthusiastic about getting big numbers in the house. The MSM was saying "Nah! They will get 2 to 4 seats, no way more than 6."
The GOP gained 54 seats. That was with Newt in charge, doing the planning and strategizing. Night before, MSM was IN TOTAL DENIAL and afterward, were ugly about the win--but I am redundant. They are always ugly, not just on special occasions.

The WASHINGTONIANS are always the problem.
Never the solution.
The logical answer is to rotate the capital amongst the states.

"But there's a one-in-three chance we could lose," Boehner said.He's speaking from the viewpoint of an establishment republican. He knows damn well the GOP as it exists today is OVER; either by the TEA Party or fading away into obscurity by getting an arse whooping when everything is on the table for raw success.

Why is it I feel nothing? Maybe it is because Barack Obama has shown us that a President, especially a democrat communist President, can rule without the House and the Senate. He needs only czars and federal agencies.
Boehner and his bunch are feckless, nadless nincompoops, totally useless.
Why should anyone be pumped that this actually matters anymore?

Odd ... that's what Rally-'Round-Romney types accuse me of when I declare that I'll reject Romney at every turn, even (God forbid) if it comes to O vs R in the General. They think it's about "tantrums." No, it's about changing the leadership.

"But there's a one-in-three chance we could lose," Boehner said. I thought he retired years ago.

You’re right, John, and it’s because you and yours haven’t done a damn thing, you bunch of nutless wonders.

Hey, Boehner. Why don't you and your feckless buddies simply "compromise" again on another "budget deal" and let 0bama have what he wants again. Then you can change your odds from 1-in-3 to 99-in-100?
But at least you'll get invited to all the nice Beltway cocktail parties!

Quit being Obama’s bitch, Boner. You might be surprised. He can't help it. Like every RINO, he loves mainlining Washington power.

There is a 100% chance the GOP won’t represent conservatives.
And Boner wonder’s why the GOP is facing extinction.
