Grow a spine you coward.

although his drinking probably makes him looser too.

Spelling now corrected.

he is a lush ! Just look at his bloodshot eyes .

Orange man is a toady for the tea party.

In Boner's case, it apparently dissolves the spine.

It removes inhibitions while impairing judgment. This allows you to do things you otherwise wouldn't, which can look and feel like courage - or just be foolish.

He needs to GO!

PEACE!

Of course for that to really happen Boehner and the rest of the republicans are going to have to grow a spine.

How about they BOTH need to go!!!

PEACE!

They are like religious fanatics. I don't think any other Speaker could have controlled them either.

I know nothing....

I see nothing; and
I say nothing!

I repeat that randomly sometimes myself. Makes me laugh OUT LOUD.

I know NOTHING!

(yes, you do)...

There, fixed the headline for you

he realized too late that they could not be controlled and he never recovered.

no one who gets this far in life wants to be remembered as one of the worse. unfortunately for him

that`s how he will be remembered.

who told them years ago...don't let those 'God' people in power!
They will... (I can't remember the rest and too lazy to google)...

anybody...?

"Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them.”
― Barry M. Goldwater

That is exactly the quote I meant. Cheers!

it was goldwater who today would be classified as a conservative democratic or a liberal republican.

Bøner got overrun because he is the weakest speaker in living memory. The only courage he has is liquid courage and there isn't enough of that to make him worth the powder to blow him to Pittsburgh. I wish the ghost of Sam Rayburn would rise up, grab him by the ears, and throw him down the Capitol steps.

Gono Ca Ca Caucus and I'll bet his tiny but excited balls, feel like a pair of maracas.

Reminds me of a Frank Zappa Classic...

I don't care what his excuses are. They are all lame. He's on record saying he and Reid had a deal but then he and a merry band of wacko birds decided to make the ACA an issue.

So as Jon Stewart said, "Don't fart and then point at the dog."

Own it turkeybutt.

I love it!

Even if Boner survives as House leader, the Tea Party now hates his ass "for capitulating" and might well put up a Ted Cruz-like opponent to run against him in next year's primary.

Good god, Boner, quit being a flaccid, wimpy worm.
Stand erect and admit your a fucking premature ejaculation of a Speaker.

out of our misery!

To much (ahem) tea?

It can affect judgement.

He's not as dumb as you all think.

Boner knew along along when he'd compromise and betray their trust - at the last possible not-crazy second. He gave them just enough rope to hang themselves with. The Teahadis get the blame, and they lose influence in his caucus. He's unscathed, as everyone already hates him. The devil you know...

As Speaker of the House he should have and did know better

He's every bit as responsible as the Tea Hadists either because of direct culpability or due to total lack of political spine, either way the Republicans could do much better in choosing whom to represent their "leadership" such as it is.

Thanks for the thread, DonViejo.

Or ...NOT DO IT!!!, whether you're speaking about shutting down the government or not passing a budget and raising the debt ceiling...

ever take responsibility for anything?

What a bunch of wussies they all are.

And all we got was a 24 billion bill. Thanks Boner

So he thinks with his caucus.

I call Bull Durham.

The Tea Party bunch went to DC to destroy it, not to work with others for the betterment of the nation. They don't know the meaning of compromise. To them it's akin to betraying their beliefs. Most of them had never held elective office before they went to Congress. They have no clue how things are supposed to be done in a democracy. I equate them to religious fanatics.

The Republican Party has a big problem in their hands and they need to do some soul searching. If they continue to allow the Tea Partiers to hijack their agenda, they'll never win another national election.

On the other hand, the DNC should send Cruz, et al. a thank you card.
