Fully six in 10 of Americans participating in a new poll say House Speaker John Boehner should leave his post in the House.

The survey, a CNN/IRC International poll conducted between Friday and Sunday, at the tail end of the government shutdown, also revealed that 54 percent of respondents aren

McConnell more so than Boehner. At least Boehner stood up. It was the Senate who stabbed the American people in the back.

So, 46% of Americans are happy with the way the GOP is running Congress but feel Obama is “principled”.

Don't waste your time trying to make sense of a nonsensical poll.

Boehner needed to make more public all the funding bills that the house passed. Instead he left it up to the press to let the people know.

Big mistake.

He should have hand delivered, with 200+ Republicans in tow, each and every spending bill to Harry Reid and the Senate.

Only that kind of bluntness would have worked with this press and the public that follows them.

...54 percent of respondents aren’t happy that the GOP controls the House — a dire sign for the Republican Party...

Uh-huh. Dig deeper, CNN, instead of floating this straw man argument.

1) I'm sure that the "54%" includes Democrats who would say they don't like Repubs in any position at all, no matter how the question is framed.

2) Of the 54% who are Repubs, most of those are probably real conservatives who are tired of the folding lawn chairs led by Boehner.

Cnn: propaganda for their selected boy-king, pure and simple.

The fix was in but Boehner could not stop Cruz.

Obama and Boehner had already made a deal before Cruz stepped up. Boehner had already sold us out and then could not deliver the body.Rotten bastid.

“for the betterment of his party he needs to take the fall NOW by resigning”

Exactly. Boehner must go. And he should take Cantor with him.

Stand for something, or fall for everything. The latter is no way to lead the country through Obama’s failures.

My question would be, how much of that 60% is made up of Democrat/liberal respondents? I do not give a tinker’s toot what they think or want, as far as who stays or goes in the Republican party.

The tan wooden blubbering imposter of Wotan, needs to abdicate his position, by the end of business TODAY,

or,

Somebody present him with a boxed Case V-42, and inform him,

He’s been president for going on five years now and was reelected just last year. If they haven’t figured it out by now, when will they?

Why is John Boehner worse than Buraq 0bama? Both are only doing what each thinks is best for him. We should have the same reason for wanting to rid ourselves of them both.

He’s up for re-election so I hope there’s a decent conservative out there running against him.

Don’t be fooled by Boehner. He wasn’t/isn’t all in on attacking kenyancare. He never prepped the battlefield and when he finally took the conservative position he did the absolute minimum required. His goal wasn’t to win major concessions from the Dems. He goal was to be able to say: “See I tried”.

Boehner spent his summer outside the betlway fundraising instead of banging the drums warning about kenyancare. He isn’t interested in engaging the Dems any more than required. All he wants is deals and a cut of the pork for his donors.
