John Boehner won’t say if he will be serving another two years as the House Speaker.
“Listen, I’m going to be 65 years old in November,” Boehner stated. “I’d never thought I’d live to be 60. So I’m living on borrowed time.” In addition to his age, Boehner has had to deal with a large number of rebellious House conservative Republicans. How large a number? According to conservatives involved in the deliberations, 40 to 50 new members have already verbally committed to electing a new Speaker. Conservative organizers say that they could force Boehner to step aside as Speaker in late November, when the incoming GOP conference meets.
...the heart of capitalism!
We are ALL living on borrowed time!
16 And he spoke a similitude to them, saying: The land of a certain rich man brought forth plenty of fruits.
17 And he thought within himself, saying: What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 And he said: This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and will build greater; and into them will I gather all things that are grown to me, and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul: Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years take thy rest; eat, drink, make good cheer.
20 But God said to him: Thou fool, this night do they require thy soul of thee: and whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.
Who VOTED for these guys?
The job is distracting and interferes with his drinking.
He is a heavy chain smoker and he loves to imbibe.
I think you pegged it.
It’s the only thing left to surrender!
Step down Boehner, Trey Gowdy for Speaker!
Gowdy would be my choice as well
WINNER!
Sadly, Boner is pushing amnesty for 40 MILLION ILLEGALS on his way out to finally complete the communist overthrow of America.
Stepping down off Boehner’s NSA file may require a parachute or a bundgie cord at least.
If he’s fataly flawed he should just step down.
Come 2016 maybe Justice Roberts should step down....he can find a hobby, wood working maybe.
I agree with U
Hastert looks like a tower of strength compared to this “Cincinnati cry baby”.
“That is a weird statement does he have health issues?”
Drinking, chain smoking and tanning beds are not good for longevity. :-)
OK, let’s talk replacement. Trey Gowdy?
I agree with U
He could have done that TWO YEARS ago.
If Boehner is stepping down they must have somebody much worse in mind.
You know, someone who can really stand up to Conservatives and voice their opinions.
Or maybe someone who isn't DRUNK EVERY DAY!
Agreed. He’ll want one last “accomplishment” before he goes. He’ll give the conservatives - his real enemy - a giant middle finger and leave as he came - in tears.
