I actually don’t disagree Boehner’s tenure has been quite poor...awful, in fact, but your comments don’t carry a great deal of weight - either you did not know Senators have no role in choosing who the Speaker of the House is or you didn’t know Pat Roberts in a Senator - and in either case you clearly don’t pay enough attention to what goes on to know what Boehner has done or not done. Sorry, but that’s just the facts.
If you look at my post history you will see that I take a big picture view. It simply does not matter to me where the guy is. Because, real world actions show him supporting the very GOP leadership that is pushing all the things we claim to hate. In the end, his support for the GOP leadership is what carries the weight. Not my comments. At the end of the day his actions are what matter...as do the rest of their actions. They abandoned most of their actual jobs so to be perfectly honest, I see the whole mess as one big political blob.
Which it is. When they return to their constitutional duties as written, I’ll care enough. But right now, with senators/congressman campaigning/fundraising/interfering in races/processes they have no business in, they don’t so I don’t. All I care about is 5 in about 500 actually take their oaths/jobs seriously and Pookie here ain’t one of them.
I know exactly who the misguided House Speaker is. I know how he is elected. What I don’t understand is how his colleagues could have elected him in the first place. . .but then take a look at their records. My family had been quite active in Republican politics for many years until it was becoming evident that the party was full of a bunch of self-serving politicians ad nausea. . . .the best investment I made was caller ID. . .no RNC house and senate donations here!
