B-Man Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 Good news................ Boehner Will Resign From Congress. This is a sign, I think, that the GOP establishment has finally figured out that the root of Trumpmania is the failure of the Boehner-McConnell Congress to deliver despite the big electoral wins of 2014. I credit Pope Francis. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I credit Boehner. it's being reported that he desired a papal speech to congress for 20 years. he helped make it happen and then he resigned. perhaps there's more to him than many appreciated.

B-Man Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 If Republicans in the House quickly line up behind Kevin McCarthy (CA) as a replacement for Boehner, it will show that they have learned nothing. It will show that they have mistakenly concluded that Boehner, personally, was just an unjust victim of Two Minutes’ Hate from the voters, because McCarthy is cut from exactly the same cloth. While he might not be as orange or cry as much, there is no chance that he would hold the line where Boehner has failed to do so. What was affecting Boehner was an increasing unwillingness to give anyone a seat at the table he did not like. Conservatives knew they could not do business with Boehner, but it became increasingly obvious that no one else could do business with Boehner if they were not already in his club. He relied more and more on outside voices, which played to caricatures of an out of touch Speaker. And now Boehner had closed his doors to conservatives. All he had left were a small group of moderates and the assistance of the Democrats. He could not survive a motion to vacate the chair with that. He had to resign. .

B-Large Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 He was probably just tired of zero sum governance, in the face of constant threats of government shutdown and government shutdown... Perhaps he felt a government shutdown in the face of defunding PP just wasn't in line with what he thought was reasonable a decided enough was enough.

keepthefaith Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 (edited) This is good news as long as a RINO isn't selected as the replacement. It's time to start using the majorities in the house and senate to deliver on their election promises. McConnell needs to go too.

B-Man Posted September 25, 2015 Author Share Posted September 25, 2015 The media knows whats really important.............. ABC Laments: Boehner Departure Will Make Life ‘Harder’ for Obama Boehner’s resignation is most likely the product of political pressure from a GOP establishment that hopes to dampen grassroots’ interest in “outsider” candidates such as Trump, Carson and Fiorina. Replacing him with McCarthy won’t do the trick. The GOP base is angry at the establishment–precisely because of what that establishment has and has not done–and McCarthy is a part of it. Now is the time for real, not cosmetic, change. The House GOP would be well advised to stop fighting its own base, listen to them, and select someone from the House Freedom Caucus–which has been fighting Boehner tooth and nail–who would unify the party with its own voters. Someone like Raul Labrador, Mark Meadows, or Jim Jordan. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are confusing the "TP" as the larger base here....might want to mix in some new reading materials There are not enough TP/Cons to create the "majority" you speak of/desire/pine for....

No. As usual Baskin has it 180 degrees backward. One wishes that the Left would pick a meme and stay with it. We hear how the GOP 'leadership' keeps bending to what those horrible right-wingers want (not true in and of its own self) Today, its the conservatives don't really have any kind of power/majority. and as always, there is a large mixture of mainstream and conservative sites posted from. You might want to open one before you embarrass yourself again with this tired line. in this thread I used, the NYT, WaPO, The Hill RollCall, Daily Caller Newsbusters. perhaps YOU should expand a little. . .

Your looking for e meme that isn't there...show me where I am a "liberal"....You speak of a TP/Con "base" as a majority. That is not correct - they can think they are, they can think the hold the mantle of the Republic but they don't. They had a false positive of the 2012 election cycle - but since then they have had the A$$ kicked. "is the failure of the Boehner-McConnell Congress to deliver" What exactly - were they to deliver?
