Unfortunately, Ryan appears to have taken himself out of the running.
He has declined to run for Minority Leader twice in two days.

Perhaps if there is enough public outcry, he can be convinced to change his mind.

In Japanese society, this would be a no brainer. The leader of the losing party would automatically take responsibility and do the right thing. I’m not asking Boehner to commit Hari Kari, but he needs to take one for the team and step aside and allow new blood to give it a go.

Boehner...seems to be getting the same desk-side service as Newt.

Burn the big tent, tell the RINOs the circus left town....walk home.

Boner’s taken over what? There’s no leadership.

Boner’s a stiff.

F**k you Boeher. You were quiet during the election because you didn’t want the fallout. But now that it doesn’t matter, you want to talk tough.

Again - f**k you...

I think he just doesn’t want to take on Boehner. But if we can apply enough pressure to oust Boehner, I think Ryan would then agree to pursue it.

Mr. Boehner you have demonstrated that you are not up to the job. Thank you for the work you have done previously, but of late you have come up lacking. Sit down and do as you are told. You and your generation have had you chance and look what we have wraught from your tenure.

Sorry, I keep refering to him as Senator. I know he is a Representative.

Is Boehner having a Palin moment, watching the crest of the new wave? Boehner, you swamped yourself and your country club compatriots long ago. You have no credibility with conservatives, certainly libs don’t care, and moderates have already pitched their tent with Obama. You guys were ssoooooo convincing. You missed the wave fellow and its time to wax your surfboard elsewhere.

As far as I’m concerned so long as people like Boehner and McConnell retain the leadership of the party, I remain in opposition to the party. For any of us to take a step of faith and believe you might finally start to get it, would require a rolls of heads first. Oh, and not just that. Cantor’s speech of getting along with Obama...screw that. He’s on a short lease anyway for approving that bailout.

We not only need a change of leadership but a change in attitude. People can say whatever they like about Delay, he took prisoners. We need a conservaive Hammer in both chambers. Nothing less.
