If the Tea Party wieldes so much power in the Republican Party, why have they and the so called "Young Guns" of the party allowed Boeher to keep his speakership?

If they are the new leaders of the House, wouldn't make sense to replace Boehner with Ryan or Cantor? In doing so, they would confirm to the rest of the party, Obama, and the American people, that they were in control and were the force that Obama would have to deal with in his second term.

Doesn't make sense to use Boehner as a "ping-pong" ball.

I am surprised he has not resigned personally. Dealing with this idiot of a President who has no desire to work with the Republicans is more than likely a very frustrating thing to deal with on a daily basis.

You mean dealing with the idiots of his party who refuse to co-operate and deal with anything the president puts out.

Boehner is a member of the NFL. That's the Not For Long group.

They obviously know cr*p when they see and hear it. Thank God for the Republicans blocking the stupidity of the Left or we would be going down the tank even faster.

Why has John Boehner remained Speaker of the House...?

Because they keep voting him in.

Lightbulb Why has John Boehner remained Speaker of the House...?

Because he's the best the GOP has.

Sad, isn't it?
