Because the Republicans only serve as enablers for the Democrats. We can't fight when our supposed Army is always busy bending over for the enemy. Get rid of the collaborators first so they can't stab you in the back, then take the fight to the enemy.
Let's just talk about Boehner. I have no idea if this is the best deal he can get, or not. I pay attention but it's still not obvious that there is one true, perfect thing to do. It looks to me like he's done all he can to get the best deal possible but it's far more popular for those on FR to hate Boehner, no matter what he does. How would you like to be Boehner trying to deal with Obummer and the RATS in the Senate and still try to protect his caucus? He's in a thankless position. Oh, what the heck, it's fun to hate him and rip him in front of the rest of those Boehner haters here on FR and get their approval. To too many Freepers, Republicans are easier to hate than Obama and the RATS. I don't get it.
