I would have to disagree with you on oratory. Many times the knock on certain guys comes from the liberal press and it gets repeated enough that folks take it for gospel. Fact of the matter is that I watched him on the floor on many different occasions make his esteemed colleagues on the other side of the aisle look small. First was cap and trade opposition where he pressed parliamentary procedure to its stretching point and filibustered for as long as he could pointing out the idiocy of the Dems own bill (which they had not read). Next was the Gant chart (or whatever you want to call that thing) regarding the health bureaucracy that he slapped the Dems over the head with.

However, I do agree with you on Ryan, Cantor, and Pence. All three very solid with Ryan showing the potential to possibly be a solid presidential contender in the future. Don't throw Boehner of the side though. He has been giving the Dems fits the last two years. Tell your son Semper Fi!

Oratory has nothing to do with your position or in John's case reaction. John Boehner can not complete a sentence without three uh’s.

Please, point me to John's vision, his ideas. We need a thinker and someone who can articulate the same and John is not the guy. McConnell is worse, he's the old school pol who gathers power for himself.

All the above is my opinion and as I like to say, Opinions are like hemorrhoids...every assh**e has one.
