This is why the Republican party is in turmoil. You can't understand the position your own majority leader was placed in, and you call yourself a Republican. You don't even understand your party.
I'm a Libertarian and even I can empathize with him. I've never had patience for the likes of Reid or Pelosi, and now Christy (the great fat hope) has turned into a total buffoon.

The rules are rigged against third parties. If you want to win you'll have to take over the Republican party from the inside. I would think that a small government fiscal conservative Libertarian would be utterly ashamed of the job John Boehner's done, along with his big government big spending viewpoint on government.
BTW, I used to be one (technically still am one, I still contribute) but the Party is not going anywhere the way it's being run currently, and the best bet is to just increase Libertarian influence in the Republican Party.
I wouldn't mind seeing Boehner go. Anywhere. So long as he goes.
As a fiscal conservative, I completely agree. Boehner definitely needs to go. He is a Democrat wet-dream, always capitulating to their demands. Also, like the Democrats in the House before him, there has been no federal budget since Boehner became Speaker. If Boehner cannot do his job and uphold his constitutional obligation to enact a budget, he certainly does not deserve the job.
It would be time for the House to put the Boner back in their pants, but I am enjoying watching him act like an idiot who can't control his own party or the House.

Not near as much as many of us do reading the very intellectual responses from the grade school class.
It is exactly 2 PM and he has just taken the gavel, again. sorry libs!
Why would the Liberals be sorry? He's the best Speaker they've ever had! Without him they never would have sucker....uhhh, passed the Fiscal Avoidance of the Cliff Unlimited bill, also known as FAC-U.

Are you kidding me the house and 2 plans for the fiscal cliff and this weazel could not even get enough votes out of the House to send it to the senate. When the senate had a bill it was sent to the House Boehner would not even bring it to the house floor for a vote what a A Hole. Boehner is the single person doing the most damage to this country he will not bring jack to the house floor for a vote that is why Obama has never gotten his jobs bill passed

The Senate cannot originate a bill dealing with appropriations. That is unconstitutional. Only the House can originate appropriation bills. See Article I, Section 7, Clause 1 of the US Constitution and get a clue, because it would appear that neither Sen. Reid or you have one.
