It was in the tea leaves.

[Mark III]

Mr. Boehner’s surprise announcement came just a day after Pope Francis visited the Capitol, the fulfillment of a 20-year dream for Mr. Boehner of having a pontiff address Congress. He had a private audience with Francis before the pope’s address to a joint meeting of Congress.



Something about meeting and talking with the Pope made Boehner see the error of the tea party and the more extreme GOP ways, didn't it?

So, you dont like boehnor but dont like Rush even more.

So if Rush doesnt like boehnor too then your knee jerks and now you do like boehnor.

I nearly never listen to Rush. Because I'm a Conservative, I'm "predictable". So is the sun setting in the West, and rising in the East.

And your opinion on Boehner is still not clear. You fart out something sophomoric, and then you sit back and throw darts at everyone else who expresses disdain for the guy - with substance. I asked you a question, and I'm going to ask you again: why exactly do you not like Boehner?

I know it's confusing to you that I'm not following the script.

Maybe someday you'll wake up and get it.

I doubt it though, the institutionalization is strong with you.

[Subdermal]

I know it's confusing to you that I'm not following the script.

Why is it confusing? You're not like me. You aren't a Conservative, and I haven't seen you put forth a substantive argument in defense of a position you hold. What I do see you do is poking fun at anyone who threatens your imaginary hold on relevance here.

How are you relevant again? You look to me like the loser kid who pulled wings off flies as a kid, just to torture for the sake of it - and never grew out of it.


Maybe someday you'll wake up and get it.

Get what? That it isn't wrong to despise a POS I think is part of the one-party duopoly, obstructing the will of the people? I ALREADY get that. Do you?


I doubt it though, the institutionalization is strong with you.

Seems like - in attacking someone who despises Boehner - the institutionalization is strong with YOU.

There is no script. There are either principles you can defend, or not. You still cannot and will not answer direct question. You are a coward in this forum. At least others in this forum have the strength to put an opinion on the screen, and stand by it.

You just throw tomatoes, as though that grants you some status, and - sadly, when compared to your real life - it probably does.

[Mac-7]

John Boehner is about as far from being "extreme" as you can get without being a Democrat.

Hes an establishment career politician who was just warming a seat.

IAW a political hack.

boehnor is stepping down because of pressure from the Tea Party conservatives not anything you contributed.

Not even Trump would try to suck the oxygen out of the Popes' visit ... what a bottom-feeder.

[Subdermal]

John Boehner has been obstructing the real reform that the people voted for by overwhelmingly sending Conservatives to Congress. The ABC just alluded to that: they said that a large part of Boehner's reasoning is that members of his party don't take orders from him anymore.

Good. Continue the avalache of Conservative ideology into Congress. Do not let up until all RINOs are buried, as they should be.

[Mac-7]

Some things are at least remotely possible and others are not.

john boehnor could never win the GOP nomination for president.

[Cigar]

Kinda amazing the impact one skinny community organizer can have on politics. :wink:

[Subdermal]

Not even Trump would try to suck the oxygen out of the Popes' visit ... what a bottom-feeder.

So you think that Boehner's announcement is an attempt to suck the air out of Frances' visit? That's an interesting take.

I think it does do that, to a degree - because Boehner is nothing if not self-absorbed. I can virtually assure that it was not his intention, however: this is the culmination of a '20 year dream' of Boehner's. He wanted a Pope to visit Congress, and was noticeably moved by his presence. I think that Boehner is going to say that a large reason for his announcement now is a direct inspiration from Frances' visit, and doubtless he was moved to tears additionally because of how similar this Pope's political ideology is to his.

That is to say: leftist. Perhaps Boehner believes he's going to find a 'greater calling'. Great.

Perhaps he's realized that the numbers don't look at all good for him back home, and he wasn't returning regardless.

Even better.

[Subdermal]

And if he ran for and got the GOP nomination, you, like a mindless zombie would pull the vote lever for him.

Not enough information. One votes for who best represents their views, and one votes strategically for an outcome which least hurts their ideology.

You do - what? Waste your vote on some remote third party nobody with zero chance to win, while clucking at anyone to the left and right of you that you're the noble one? Let's hear what you'd do, for once, you coward.

[Mac-7]

Don't forget Bohner introduced to Congress the Neocon Zionist Netenyahoo as *His Excellency* ... the Pope, not so much.

[Subdermal]

Oblivious is the anti-bisexual. He has intentionally occupied some imaginary middle ground that he doesn't have to defend because he never states where it is while simultaneously gushing how 'reasonable' his position is. As such, he gets to attack literally ANYONE on any side, without having to state his own opinions.

This is Oblivious. Roadkill, by trying to play it right down the middle, while convincing himself of his own intelligence:

That contradicts someone else who said that Boehner did introduce Frances as "His Excellency". Boehner is a devout Catholic, I understand. He has wanted a Pope to visit him in Congress his entire career.

Boehner has been under prolonged pressure from conservatives in his party, who have accused him of failing to fight the Obama administration on issues important to the GOP.

http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/house-speaker-john-boehner-resign-n433581


Foes within his party had been pushing to oust him if he presented any legislation that would continue to fund the government and avoid a government shutdown without stripping federal funding for Planned Parenthood.

News of Boehner's resignation was vigorously cheered at a gathering of social conservatives just miles from the Capitol in Washington D.C.

Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio announced the news and told the crowd that "the time has come to turn the page and allow a new generation of leadership in this country."

[Green Arrow]

So you think that Boehner's announcement is an attempt to suck the air out of Frances' visit? That's an interesting take.

I think it does do that, to a degree - because Boehner is nothing if not self-absorbed. I can virtually assure that it was not his intention, however: this is the culmination of a '20 year dream' of Boehner's. He wanted a Pope to visit Congress, and was noticeably moved by his presence. I think that Boehner is going to say that a large reason for his announcement now is a direct inspiration from Frances' visit, and doubtless he was moved to tears additionally because of how similar this Pope's political ideology is to his.

That is to say: leftist. Perhaps Boehner believes he's going to find a 'greater calling'. Great.

Perhaps he's realized that the numbers don't look at all good for him back home, and he wasn't returning regardless.

Even better.

John Boehner is far from a leftist.

His pension is based off his years of federal service. He started federal service in 1990. A federal employee vests after 5 years (very small retirement benefit) and benefits continue to increased based on years in service.

The 4 Worst Things John Boehner Did As Speaker

http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2015/09/25/3705592/4-things-john-boehner-did-as-speaker-that-make-us-cry/

John Boehner’s (R-OH) speakership was characterized by chaos, instability, and inaction.

The Ohio lawmaker sought — but often failed — to unite a fractured Republican caucus more interested in repealing President Obama’s legislative accomplishments than actually accomplishing much of anything itself.

And though he survived multiple re-call efforts by giving-in to the most conservative elements (http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2013/10/07/2742581/the-complete-guide-to-the-rise-of-the-debt-ceiling-truthers/) of the Republican party, Boehner was never able to achieve what he promised when he first accepted the Speaker’s gravel from then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA): “restore the institution (http://archives.nbclearn.com/portal/site/k-12/flatview?cuecard=51852) of the United States House of Representatives.”

Keep in mind that you are talking about a party that will not publicly admit that the years 2001-2008 even existed. To the GOP, existence vanished into the void, only to pop back into existence again on January 20, 2009 and all of a sudden, the USA was in a free fall death spiral of socialism and evil brought about by Obama. (Obama being the Kenyan word for "the most evil Satan ever, twice as bad as normal Satan").

Even Master Rush said, Republicans weren't elected to govern.

[maineman]

And then this guy chimes in and shows his ass.

so...do I take it then, that you DON'T have any evidence that Obama intentionally infected Americans with Ebola? Why didn't you just say so at the outset?

If a far right winger ever got in charge of the house that would be the gops demise. Boehner kept the gop from collapsing under their own stupidity by compromising.

His replacement McCarthy will be more like beohner than Cowboy Gowdy

Theres 20-30 % of republicans that are far right nuts and somehow they believe they are more important than the other 70% of republicans and democrats and independents. The far right couldnt elect a mosquito to bite them on the ass

I kind of agree with you Pete... when America has had to chose between a right winger and a democrat, they've gone toward the democrat. When was the last time someone from the far right side of the GOP was nominated for president? How did they do?

[Dr. Who]

So Boehner is resigning because his religious views are more important than his political views. I respect him for making that choice. We all have choices to make. He has the courage of this convictions. I respect people who have that courage.

Your definition of "far right" is anyone who disagrees with you.

[maineman]

Your definition of "far right" is anyone who disagrees with you.

The fact remains...when was the last time the GOP nominated a presidential candidate from the far right of their party and that candidate won the election?

That is true, and the reasoning behind that reality is how the Dems pad their base. They buy them.

Expanded welfare, liberal give away programs, uncontrolled illegal immigration. All sustained with other people's money. They don't care if it's stresses our system or bankrupts cities. They'll just raise taxes on THOSE who pay taxes. There's the redistribution of wealth.

Who do you think people will vote for, the guy who says go to work, become self-sufficient or the guy that says "vote for me, I'll redistribute the wealth and give you stuff"?

That's a tough act to follow.

while I disagree with your basic premise, do you have any ideas as to how to come up with an act that works, nationally, for the GOP?

Liberal libs do vote democrat.

But this is a libertarian inspired board where the beautiful people who run it claim to be independents that swing both ways.

So to fit in to the in-crowd, and to hide their shame, many liberals simply deny being loyal democrsts and pretend to be non partisan.

Obviously, you impugn your own leftist tribe here. It's obviously not people voting Democrat who are revolting against the leadership of their own party; it's Republicans. Nearly to a man, the posters who are self-described Conservatives (like me, who is not a member of the Republican Party) are deeply unhappy with the leadership of the GOP; it's the 'Establishment' that is the problem.

On the left, the closest you can claim exists to such a parallel are the voters for Bernie Sanders, only a minority of whom aren't simply Socialists; they're voting for Bernie because they're disgusted with Hillary and her rank criminality.

That's a decided minority of Democrats though. They left morals behind long ago.

[Matty]

Evidently Boehner had told the house that they would be passing a funding bill that included funding for planned parenthood, that's when the revolt began.

(R) - ARI Matt Salmon is 100% correct in his assessment. The House can only check Obama's anti-Constitutional activity through the power of the purse, and Boehner has steadfastly refused to utilize that option.

Including in his last bill as leader funding for Planned Parenthood is a poke in the eye of anyone who is a Conservative Republican or Catholic, for that matter. Boehner is a charlatan, and we can only hope Kevin McCarthy is better, as he is the likely successor.

[donttread]

I dont see you doing anything to help reverse course.

just voting for 3rd party pothead loser gets us nowhere and maybe hurts when it helps elect a democrat.

That position is such goofy nonsense, it doesn't deserve anything more than the simple slap-down I'm going to provide it.

Leftists love to confuse morality shared by Christians as "theocracy". Here's facts, liberals: if "Evangelicals" wanted theocracy, we'd already have it, as we are no more Christian - less, in fact - than we were 50 years ago; 100 years ago, or 200 years ago.

Quit wailing and Chicken Littling, just because you know you're utterly depraved.

McCarthy is, IMO, the most likely. The best would be Gowdy, closely followed by Gohmert. I like Gowdy the best; I think he is the most intelligent of the three.
