Since the Republicans regained control of the House of Representatives, we expected wonderful changes to come. We once again had control over the house along with having the ability to have some control over what was taking place to our Country.
We knew that President Obama was a rogue President who had control over both houses. This left the Republican Party with virtually nothing they could do. Even when President Obama’s own party did not agree with him. He would simply use executive privilege and pass it anyway.
After the election and the Republicans gained control over the House of Representatives. Republicans now had the ability pull in the reigns of the President even if he did use executive Privilege. Since Congress has control over the nation’s Budget as stated in Article I Section 8 of the Constitution. Congress has the ability to refuse to fund any laws or acts that required funding. Speaker Boehner however never allowed the House to vote against funding laws Obama passed through Executive privilege.
As a result over the following two years, the President routinely went around Congress without fear of Congress doing anything about it. The most the Republican Party managed to get was an occasional empty threat by an ineffective Speaker of the House. This is why over the past two years we have heard virtually nothing from the House of Representatives. Speaker Boehner blamed it on the Democratic controlled Senate. Yesterday he proved this was not the case.
Even knowing that come January the Republican Party will have control over both Houses. Speaker Boehner elected to endorse a one year extension on the Budget. This is why it is imperative that Congress forces Boehner to resign as soon as possible.

the rumour is the reason that Boehner cries so much is that he had an accident - he was poked by a pencil in the family jewels and had to have an emergency surgery and now Boehner is ballless. And he went to have surgery on his back and they took out out his backbone from Thoracic 1- 12, thus poor Johnny is now spineless. he went to Obama and Obama granted him an right of certori (Royal Wish) for perpetuity as Obama is now Emperor napoleon Obama Bonaporte - as Obama claims he is the Lost Dauphin from France. (The only problem Napoleon Obama Bonaporte and the Lost Dauphin lived at different times in History, but Obama is ahistorical, and he likes his ballless and spineless friend John
Kick Bonehead clean out of the party. He has shown his true colors, a ignorant communists Democrat. He can no longer hide this.
Bone head and mcconnell, reid and pelosi same sh## in a different bag, they both need to be escorted out of the house come jan 6th
Long passed if you ask me
the dolt is a power hungry drunk and has no morals
The one problem, of course....is that Ted would have to run for a seat in the House. He currently sits in the Senate.
The fact is Bonehead has already done his damage to this country.
He will probably resign and go work at Trent Lott’s Lobbying Firm.
“....is that Ted would have to run for a seat in the House. He currently sits in the Senate. “
I don’t see the problem here. I’ll take Majority Leader.
It’s also time for Kim Jong-un to go, along with the Castro brothers, Robert Mugabe, and the Ayatollahs of Iran, who have been around way too long. Barack Obama, Mitch McConnell, Maxine Waters, and numerous others should also be on the time-to-go list.
But, unless one is a Mafia hitman or a magician who can snap his fingers and make things disappear, there is nothing we can do free the world of bad leaders who have overstayed their welcomes.
Maybe it’s absurd to still have Congressional elections in this country, since once the winners go to Washington they turn into willing accomplices of the leaders they were sent to Congress to fight against.
We’ll see how bad things are after the new Congress convenes in January. Before then, during the holidays, the newly elected and reelected Republicans will be able to hear from their constituents regarding how they feel about John Boehner, Barack Obama’s new best friend and executive assistant in charge of keeping Republicans in line in the House. Maybe John Boehner will not be reelected Speaker of the House next year if Republicans around the country are angry enough.
Rep. John Fleming, R-LA, who voted against the immigration funding bill, said Boehner is fully supported by the members. Nothing can topple him.
vote Republican or else Harry Reid wins!crap.
They can defund what they have funded, right? Got to get rid of Boehner. I truly believe his goal in life was to channel the conservative movement in a direction that gets him elected one last time, makes him and his cronies rich, and then ensures socialism forever after. His plan is working.
He can take my congressman Chuck Fleischmann with him. It seems like every elected official out of Chattanooga turns out bad once they make national office. I've had it with TN Third Congressional District RINO's from Chattanooga including Corker. Maybe it's time one of the northern counties put up a Conservative. Scott County has produced some good leaders before in years past.
I think that the constituents of every RINO that got elected, promising to end Obamacare and fight the illegal amnesty executive order, should start a recall. Every one of these lying bastards needs to go. Tea party or RINO. Makes no difference to me. You lie, bye bye!!!
Maybe not. As I understand it, anybody (doesn’t have to be a Rep) can be elected speaker. How ‘bout Allan West or Sarah Palin?
So true, their is always a fly in the ointment. I’m sure good old Ten could do both without any problems....
:-)
Not if the same Demoncats support him. That's how the douchebag Joe Straus runs the Texas House
I bet that he goes no-where.
Who in the house is stepping up to the plate? None.
