Before you pop the champagne, ask yourself: How much of an improvement would Speaker Cantor be?

I don't know. Let's find out.

[twister881]

All that government stuff eating is interfering with important activities — smoking, tanning, playing golf.

[SeekAndFind]

SPEAKER JASON CHAFFETZ has a nice ring to it...

[shove_it]

Ditto.

[PoloSec]

I hate to see Boehner go in 2014...

I want him gone NOW....

[upchuck]

Speaker Trey Gowdy?

[Mr. K]

Then why run for re-election?

Or... why bother to vote for him?

PRIMARY HIS ASS NOW!!!

[Nextrush]

This is spin since Oboehner is now radioactive among conservatives.

His members elected him, virtrually all.

There were rumblings that 16 would stand up to oppose him earlier this year after he pushed through the deal to raise taxes and the national debt.

Boehner, Cantor and over 90 percent of the GOP congressman-women etc. are all not real conservatives, that’s what we learn with that story.

The 60 or more who make noises and vote NO from time to time include many who made the decision earlier this year to support the leader pushing all this stuff they end up voting NO on and loudly saying they oppose.

[Nextrush]

I heard Doc Thompson filling in for Glenn Beck this morning saying Chaffetz is now sliding into supporting amnesty.

[kabar]

Cantor is no conservative. He would be a disaster. He needs to be taken out of any leadership position.

[kabar]

Trey Gowdy supports amnesty.

[Sans-Culotte]

Boehner/Cantor = six of one; half-dozen of another.

[cripplecreek]

What happens if he’s reelected in Ohio and resigns? Does Kasich appoint a successor or is a special election held?

[b4its2late]

Retire now! At least from the Speaker position..... useless in that position.

[Mr. K]

If he is re-elected, he apparently will LOSE the speaker role anyway...

So, why bother Ohio?

[Iron Munro]

In honor of his service to Obama Boehner should get a free ride out of town.

On a rail.

in a new suit of tar and feathers.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Speaker Boehner should resign today....traitor that he is!!! Oh.....and...Mr. Speaker, take that turncoat Eric Cantor with you!!! You two Obamabots make me want to vomit!!!

[tennmountainman]

Amen. If this is true Bonehead is going to be a very dangerous man for
Conservatives in the mean time.

[ExTexasRedhead]

Is he retiring perhaps because his Constituents want him gone?

Speaker of the House number - for comments regarding his support for Syrian intervention aka debacle.
