As a prior Democrat who became a Reagan Republican I’m in the same boat trying to decide if I need to change to “Independent”. The Democrats are now the Socialist Party, The Republic Party is now the Democrat Party & both have left my Conservative views.

I think you keep voting until someone gets a majority.

We may have to be willing to let the country go to hell in order to rise up again.

Tea Partiers made Boehner the current Speaker, and Tea Partiers can hit the reset button in 2014. Pelosi will be pushing 75 by then, and be even more of a doddering fool.

Why is Pelosi even part of the conversation? The party in the majority always decides the Speaker of the House...........or does it?

I thought the house chose the leader. Since the majority usually will vote for THEIR guy,it would be logical that he would win. Doesn’t the house leader lead the entire house like the president is supposed to lead the entire country? Isn’t he supposed to looking out for the country?

Confused because nothing in DC follows any common sense logical process. If they had anything but BS to sell, they would be out running business. They have no clue how to do anything except campaign and spin.
