If he does not scuttle the entitlement/tax bill, the republican party will be competing with a 3rd party in 2012.

It is almost a certainty.

We should rename it “The Christmas Tree Bill.”

He’s too busy crying on 60 minutes.

I just called Boehner’s DC office to comment on the Tax bill that is full of pork and not what the message sent on November 2nd was about . It became immediately clear that his staffer didn’t want to hear anything I had to say. He cut me off and hung up.

Give it a try yourself at 202-225-3121 ask for Boehner’s office.

This lame duck business is for the birds anyway. After an election, it seems lunacy to let the old crew that has been soundly rejected to stay on for another three months or so to do whatever they please.

Ok all of you boehner supporters... boehner was shown on a clip on abc this morning, where he was crying again... this time in favor of the dream act. Through tears and broken voice he sobbed that we must find a way to allow these illegal children to become citizens... so that they to could have the same chance at the American dream that he had growing up. That is not the man we need as Speaker and I hope his dimrat ways out him and that he loses the vote for his most cherished dream... because his dream will destroy our dream.

It's become abundantly clear that this man is unstable.

He had nothing to do with the tsunami that swept DC in November, and the 80+ new Republicans should not be bound to vote for the old war horse as Speaker. There needs to be someone who is not tied to Washington’s ways. The newbies need to stick together and tell the dinosaurs what’s what.

"If he does not scuttle the entitlement/tax bill, the republican party will be competing with a 3rd party in 2012."

Sir, that statement is as true as the day is long.

There are millions of us that will scuttle the GOP if they sign on to this spending. Millions.

Enough to ensure the loss of the WH, 10 Senate Seats and and 100 house seats.

We'll do it, too.

I believe you are right. And if this goes through (and the Dream Act also appears to be on the verge of passage), the Republicans are toast and the next two years will be spent in the construction of a new political party.

Boner has been a pu$$y moderate rino all along. He raised his voice 2 or 3 times before the election in the face of a full fledged COMMUNIST COUP. What a hero /s

Such nutless POS we have for Repubikan ‘Leadership’

What good is a taxcut when our currency is worthless.....you boneheaded dem bootlickers.

I WANT Bachmann for Speaker of the House.
