This was an interesting read, but as I went on an on, I started thinking to myself, wait a minute. Boehner is no great calculating strategist. He’s no victim. Please! We’re at this point becuase of his feckless leadership. The National Review has gone around the bend when it comes to real conservatism.
NO
We are this point because of OBAMA
the newly-elected potus has more power than John Boehner and Boehner has no army smart enough to defeat him, even tactically
What we end up with will be because of OBAMA, not Boehner or any other man
I dont believe these gentlemanly dupes of the ol’ boys club ever calculated that a man like OBAMA would be the president of the US
Since the GOP can’t control him it is up to the democrats to man up and become adults- if there are any patriots left
The fun part is that Boner and Cantor are going to try to twist arms to pass Obama and Reid’s plan in the House. Any GOP member voting for the Obama-Reid plan is going to PRIMARIED.
I agree
Barf alert!
What is Bobbie at NR pushing press releases for bonner !
This lobbyist front man held secret meetings , did ruthless purges ,
Worried about the K st pork and shows open hatred of conservatives .
And bonner is a victim !
He is a DC insider stooge who reaped what he sowed !
The National Review has gone around the bend when it comes to real conservatism.

That happened about six months after Bill Buckley died.
He should resign the speakership, then I'll be happy.
“We’re at this point becuase of his feckless leadership.”
You are spot on.
Those conservatives in top committee assignments he axed had no incentive to meekly go along with him on raising taxes and getting blamed for it.
