Some of this stuff really is off the wall amazing, the idea Boehner is some progressive liberal or a moderate. His lifetime ACU score is 84....

Absolutely.

But Boehner is not a moderate, he's just not a ideologue extremist.
I just think he couldn't put up with the tea party BS any longer. Not only did he have to work with Obama and the Dems - but he also had to try and keep the teabaggers in line. Really - not a good place to be; I would have quit last year if I were him.

He is a right winger. Try to keep up. Just because he's not out holding hands with Kim Davis doesn't mean he's not a right winger. Just because he wasn't who you wanted; doesn't mean he didn't do anything.

He actually did helped to kill Obama's legislative agenda a number of times.

You couldn't pay me to put up with the bullshyte that he's put up with for the past several years, especially as the Republican party is divided in two.

The GOP is proving itself to be incapable of governing. The crazed lunatics of the Tea Party will live to regret this decision.

The fact that it's right before the elections is no coincidence.

I know, anything to the left of the extreme far right is considered far left to you guys. I hope the GOP is dumb enough to pick a far right speaker so that they might run the House into the ground an lose control of it again.
