The only thing Bhoner should find when he gets home is an Amish style shunning. ...in all 57 states. Drive the prick out of the country and to Kenya where the man he so loved hails from.
Yeah, to protect the House from Ted Cruz. Just what James Madison envisioned.
Many GOPe will have a case of Speaker of the House Incumbent Trauma Syndrome due to this. If only there were an acronym for this...If only.
> “If you’ve looked at a poll over the last decade or so, John, you would know that the House of Representatives is only slightly less popular than tooth decay.”
OUCH!!!
“The first job of any Speaker,” John said, “is to protect this institution that we all love.”
He’s a sorry SOB.
Hey Boner-Go party with Hitlery or Pelosi or Reid, you scum. You’d feel right at home.
Good riddance.
This is the greatest victory for real conservatives that we have had since Ronald Reagan’s election day!!The victory is Boehner folding under the relentless pressure of Americans furious with no standing up against the pathetic dictator obama. As Trump was just quote “It was time”!! Yes sir .It was time. Boehner will do great damage in the next 30 days. We must fight that with our pens and our phones !! DO NOT FUND THE KILLING OF HUMAN BABIES AND THE SELLING OF THEIR LITTLE ORGANS OR WE BECOME NO BETTER AS A NATION THE HITLER’S NAZI GERMANY.
“The first job of any Speaker,” John said, “is to protect this institution that we all love.”
No, John, it is not! It. Is. Not. The first obligation of the Speaker of the House of Representatives is to the country, it’s security, it’s prosperity, and its cultural and spiritual health. The U.S. House of Representatives exists to ensure these things for the country. The country doesn’t exist for the care and convenience of the House and those who wish to carve out a comfortable career in it.
Well stated.
LOL @ the ‘no tears.’

Dear Mr. XXXXXXX:
Thank you for contacting me about House Speaker John Boehner. I appreciate hearing from you.
I’d like to share with you the views of one of the leaders of the conservative movement who led the opposition against Speaker Boehner in 2013, but voted for him in 2015. Offering an explanation of why he changed his vote, my colleague Representative Mick Mulvaney from South Carolina said,
This coup today was bound to fail. And in fact, it failed worse than I expected, falling 11 votes shorts of deposing the Speaker. At least two years ago we only failed by six.... The hard truth is that we had an election for Speaker in November – just among Republicans. That was the time to fight. But not a single person ran against [Speaker] Boehner. Not one. If they had, we could’ve had a secret ballot to find out what the true level of opposition to John Boehner was.
(Representative Mulvaney’s full comments are attached for your review)
Despite last minute notice in the hours leading up to a vote, the truth is no potential candidate spent the time to make their case as a meaningful alternative. The choice touted by most conservatives outside of Congress was Representative Trey Gowdy, but he chose not to run. In fact, Representative Gowdy gave the nomination speech for Speaker Boehner in the Republican Conference meeting in November.
In addition to Mr. Gowdy, some of the “most tried and tested conservative voices in Washington” joined me in re-electing Speaker Boehner, including Representatives Jim Jordan, Raul Labrador, Mark Sanford, Trent Franks, Tom McClintock, Matt Salmon, Tom Price, Sam Johnson, and Jeb Hensarling. I remain committed to advancing a conservative agenda that controls government spending, preserves Constitutional liberties, jump-starts our economy, and holds President Obama accountable for his actions.
People are rightfully frustrated with Congress, but this New Year brings a new opportunity to produce results for the American people. My hope is we can unite as a party, get to work, and deliver results. Please don’t hesitate to contact me in the coming year.
Sincerely,
Luke Messer
Member of Congress
I found out later this letter was boilerplate provided by Boehner’s office elves to critters fending off angry constituents, or at least to those Boehner awarded committee chairmanships.
Time finally for a conservative representative to grow a pair, step up and take the reigns. If they push a Boehner `Mini-me’ on us, the GOP-e is DOA/RIP. Enough with the Republican steers!
“.....The first obligation of the Speaker of the House of Representatives is to the country, it’s security, it’s prosperity, and its cultural and spiritual health....”

One correction: The Constitution should be number 1 ahead of the Country. Without the Constitution, we really don’t have the country.
Still, the article is spot on. I am sooooo sick and tired of those in Congress (House and Senate) more in love with and respect for the institutions.....ahead of the Constitution, Bill of Rights, etc. I would love to have Jefferson, Adams, Madison, Hamilton, et al. lecture these modern day imbeciles of what really is important to them.
Great news that Boehner, the Obama Lover is gone!!! Just one other comment, Republicans, dump Mitch McConnell as your Senate leader...he is much more Obama’s puppet & lap dog, then Boehner was!!! “DO IT”!!!
No more Eunuch Rats.
We tuned in to Boner’s news conference just in time to hear him recount how he got a phone call from a colleague yesterday telling him they were proud of him. The caller was Maxine Waters! One of the worst representatives in a sorry lot. It was stunning that he would cite her comment as a credit to his leadership. We have to replace him with someone with better sense and judgment.
“the institution we all love”....who’s the “WE”????....
From the Media and the GOPe talking heads(PeRino, NRO, Will, etc.):
It was all you “wacko-birds”, “nut-jobs,” and “right wingers” who drove a “good man” from office. Aren’t you ashamed of yourselves?
HELL NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now to get rid of McConnell, McCain, Alexander, Cornyn, and the rest of those sorry CINO’s who have destroyed the Republican Party and contributed to the decline of this country!
By November no one will even remember his name.
Boner protected his ‘loved institution’ against Tea Party conservatives.
