Wouldn't that great. Boehner has always been a RINO and will never change.

Boehner wants to line up as many RINO’s as possible so he can lead the charge into capitulation on amnesty and tax increases.

Can We Replace John Boehner With Paul Ryan?No, but the Republican Members of Congress can.
If you think they will, well, you are still afflicted by the "GOP fantasy", but, you're in good company here.

Boner is making Denny “The Walrus” Hastert look competent.

In recent months, Levin has repeatedly pointed out that there is nothing in the Constitution that requires the Speaker of The House to even be an elected member of the House.

I would love to see it happen, but I think the GOP-e still holds an iron grip on the reins of power.

That’s an interesting thought. It would mean the losing presidential candidate could become the Speaker and fight directly against the person he lost to.
Gotta admit, it would be real strange to see Romney as the Speaker.
I wouldn’t want Romney to be the Speaker, but for the time being he is a handy example.

That would be terrific.
I’ve had enough of the Cowardly Lion and his fake tan.
I would have thought after his road to Oz he’d have more courage but, he’s just another Casper milk toast...

Replace Boehner with Bruce Willis.

With all the negativity surrounding congress that position will turn him into a lightning rod. As much as we need him there I think it would be a terrible political career decision.
To: NKP_Vet
I agree with you on Boehner.
He has in the past tried to get House legislation, including a budget, to the Senate but Harry Reid sandbagged those items.
What I find intolerable is John Boehner’s reluctance to take on the Democrats. Does he have something in his background blackmailable that the the Democrats hold over his head?

It should be a rule that after a presidential election, all posts are vacant and should be open for candidates from states that voted for the GOP nominee. If you come from a state that went for Obama this time, you would be disqualified for leadership roles. The Republicans would get rid of several RINO leaders if this were the rule.
To: Vendome; NKP_Vet
As God is my witness, I was thinking yesterday how much Boehner reminded me of the cowardly lion in the Wizard of Oz. Weeping, wishing he had some courage.

That’s why I said.
