People want this to end? Give amnesty to all house members for any transgressions and boot Bohener like George Clooney.

Surround yourself with enough feeble-minded, spineless, and clueless peopl and you look like a freakin’ genius. Obummer figured this out long ago.

There will be more Tea Party reps in the next Congress. They will likely want to do something other to the Speaker’s backside than kiss it.

I hope he's wrong -- but the GOPe has failed to impress me on a number of occasions ...

[bjorn14]

Yep if the tidal wave happens like they are saying....Boehner could be washed out too. John, I think you spoke too soon.

"Boehner reiterated that the condo purchase 'has nothing to do with my future.'”

Oh, but I think it does...

I think Tammy Faye is taking those martini’s on IV drip or something. :-)

I read some of Boehner’s history. He started out as a salesman of industrial products and prospered. He’s a country club “go along to get along” kinda guy.

Harry Reid OTOH has been public employee his entire life.
You can see the difference in their approach.

Eric Gurr for Congress

And to quote Stone Cold Steve Austin. "That's all I gotta say about that!"

[Seaplaner]

One of the top questions for any GOPer running for the House...

If elected, will you vote to replace Mister Boehner (THE worst negotiator in the history of GOP SOHs) as SOH?

(A no or a maybe is an instant DQ.)

He sounds like a lib to me!

[Count of Monte Fisto]

“I frankly think I’m in better shape with my own caucus than I have been any time in the last three years," Boehner said. "I think they understand me better.”

He's right. This is what the Republican Party is. Conservatives are the RINO's.

[bgill]

I’ve loathed the big baby from day one.

One day he’s stepping down and the next he’s better than ever. Looks like he finalized his latest under the table kickback $$$$.

Thanks, Jerk, er, John — You just confirmed my belief that you are indeed Boehner the Boner.

Dear John,

If you truly cared more about your country than yourself, you would resign your post as Speaker.

Sincerely,

Americans
