In a statement released today Boehner says “I am resigning to spend more time with my bartender”

ROTFLMAO

To spend more time with his family. He was told to by the donors.

This might be more accurate. As far as I'm concerned, they can have him.

Trey Gowdy?


Another bought and paid for elite.

He has done nothing to move his committee forward and for good reasons.

He does not want to.

He is smoke and mirror politician.

He covers for the other elitists as they cover for him.

Good question that doesn’t seem much considered!

Leaving not just the Speaker chair, but the House entirely. This is a lot worse for Boehner than just political disputes.

Dead girl or live boy? Some actual conservatives have become willing to use the same blackmail info as the Dems? Justice Department takedown coming?

CRUZ’ FAULT!


Dang straight Amigo.

He is more afraid of Cruz then Obama.

Instead of hanging around to please Obama he hauled a$$.

Cruz for Speaker of the House and President.

How does that grab you?

Does that violate the Constitution?

Why quit Congress? That is really weird. They must have some nasty stuff on this guy - indictable stuff.

You just don’t QUIT congress. So odd what goes on in that town.

Yeah, McCarthy has a 45% Conservative rating, compared to Boehner’s 35%. Neither of them are close to being conservative.

I’m guessing it has a lot more to do with Cruz than anything else.

I am guessing he was told to do something he didn't want to do. Same thing happened to Petraeus.

I wonder when Roberts' reaches his limit in the blackmail game.

I’m sure Bonehead will be well compensated for his “sacrifice” by his Wall Street and RNC masters...some cushy job awaits him.
