Boehner May Be In Some Trouble With His Party
Frustration among the House Republicans with Minority Leader John Boehner is apparently so great that some members are already considering a challenge.

As the Republicans lost their third special election in a row on Tuesday — a feat not seen in 30 years — Chuck Todd reported on MSNBC:

It is a seismic sort of shift, and sort of think of what you’re gonna see the Republican Caucus… I have already been hearing whisper campaigns about John Boehner, the Republican leader, people are thinking about challenging him. Is he not being strident enough? You’ve got all sort of back biting and in-fighting. It is not a good night in the House Republican Caucus.

7. Psssst...Hey Republican lurkers
You want to help your gang keep their seats? Do you not want to become a minor party? The secret to winning these elections is...


END THE FRAKKING WAR AND STOP VOTING FOR TAX CUTS FOR THE WEALTHY!

8. Oh, they are listening, no doubt, and preparing this strategy for the GE in '12.
Kinda late now since they nominated Mr. Hundred Years in Iraq whose filthy--and I do mean filthy-rich wife supposedly own eight homes (three of which I KNOW they own).

9. Nah, I kinda doubt they're listening.
If they listened to what us average folk thought was important, then they'd be Democrats. They'll probably do two things in response to these losses. They'll throw more money at attack ads and they'll turn more conservative...especially on social issues. They've painted themselves into a corner and will have to wait until the economy improves, we clean up the mess in Iraq, fix health care, attempt to minimize climate change, and address all the problems they've created. Once Americans are fat and happy again with Shrub Inc a distance memory, they'll come back with the same approach of how we need to roll this program back or how we need a larger military. It seems to be an cycle that our country goes through. Republicans come in good times and screw it up, then Democrats have to clean up the mess.
