In answer to the headline: And therein lies the problems with the Republican Party.

R.I.P. RNC

Not another dime

And to think I voted for this twit!

Form one, Stupid!

Impeachment proceedings should have started yesterday in the House. With this clown running the show that will never happen. He can't even complete a sentence. I swear these Republicans are in Obama's pocket. NO ONE can be that incompetent.

If there is no T.E.A. Party caucus perhaps there needs to be?!

Paul Ryan for Speaker!

I Do Not advocate for the violent overthrow of this government.

But if it starts happening remember to call me.

These two factions of the GOP have got to find common ground and learn to work together or we will continue to lose. The fact that we had 3 million voters NOT turn out and vote for Romney/Ryan is a disgrace. There is no perfect candidate...each and every one will have their flaws. Instead of each person looking for their perfect candidate how about we do what is right for the country. In this case it was obvious that Mitt Romney was clearly a man that had a vision for this country that was far better than his opponent. Well to the 3 million of you that were to cute by half with staying home and your little protest vote...ENJOY THE NEXT 4 YEARS!

#7 I think you will probably notice!

#8, with all due respect, you can also thank a good number of MILITARY who also voted for Obama.

It is the Tea Party Movement. Why has the last word been deleted?

I'm with you #7.

The sooner we get rid of John Boehner, the better off we will be. What an absolute miserable failure of a leader. My 12 year old could do a better job.

#10, if they even got their ballots.

"And to think I voted for this twit!"


-- Elections have Consequences

Ah the strains of "The Cheap Suit Serenade". Next Boehner will fold like a cheap suit.

The tea parts image was hurt but the two retards Akin and Murdoch. The tea party started out advocating smaller government and lower taxes, but was hijacked by religious extremist. Did it ever occur to anyone the Boehner does want the party to appear split.

What a waste this speaker Boehner is.He was awol through the whole election.He couldn't even bring home his own state.I'm sure the democrats love this clown as speaker.I can't even stand to listen to him any more.The GOP will be in the weeds as long as this guy is in any office.

Mabe there should be! I believe the Tea Party won't be so eager to hang out with the RNC next time out!

I'm with #8. Frankly, I don't think many of you read the article. Boehner says: "All of us who were elected in 2010 were supported by the Tea Party". He goes on to say that they are all going to have to get along and pull together.

#4, can we forget the impossible dream of impeachment with a Democrat Senate? That is delusional. Insisting that our people accomplish the impossible is not helpful.

And the guy who says no more contributions might as well join the other side for all the use he will be to us. In fact, he has joined without knowing it.

Hopefully there will be a serious challenge to Boehner in the upcoming House election.
It is incredible that we have an introverted sob sister in this important position.
My nomination for Speaker would be Jim Jordan.

#14, so true. However, stats show a frightening number of active military actually did vote for Obama.

Maybe we need leaders who are more conformed to our Founding Fathers, who were willing to risk property, wealth, life and limb to ensure Freedom and Liberty in this land. Nowadays all politicians care about is re-election and power. Stand and FIGHT!

My only question is what was Diane Sawyer drinking this time. Was she still drunk from Tuesday night? Has ABC taken her to the woodshed? She should have been summarily fired.

Get rid of Boehner. He was a disgrace on election night; he was drunk, he slurred his words. Boehner has to go.

Boehner has been a weak and ineffective speaker with no core conservative values and should be replaced post haste. But I have another comment to make after just hearing his presser. Is it just me or (ridiculous fake tan and short fuse aside)is his voice/cough getting more irritating? He and Jan Brewer as well are so obviously emphysemic they grate on one's ears.

John continues to believe - or pretends to believe - the House has some influence in US government. But Obama has successfully ignored it for two years and ruled as he wishes.

Time for another little drama, only a formality. Dire warnings and threats will frighten the House into raising the debt limit and taxes.

But if the House should balk Obama will just print money and proceed. The debt limit is a number in a law. Laws don't matter.

The Constitution also no longer matters. Force counts. Obama has it and he will use it. The government employees will obey. The military will obey.

Nearly all the media will cheer. The rest, a mere handful, will be dealt with.

Expect the state and local police to be federalized so they are directed from Washington. Federalization makes no sense under the Constitution but that is history.

The Supreme Court will do nothing. Four votes were always ready to back anything Obama wanted. Now Roberts is the fifth. And with no real functions left the justices can take longer vacations.

Beatings will continue.

#27, the purse strings are control.

If the house is ignored by Capt Zippy, the government employees and military are outnumbered just by the number of deer hunters in PA. It just takes a spine on the part of American citizens, as they are the owners of the government.

#28 many will agree with you. I contend there is no way for that type of resistance to organize and coordinate effectively. It is a dead end. Literally.

Right now millions of people wonder what this election means. Is it merely a setback until 2014 or later elections change Washington? Are we in a bad economic slump which is certain to end?

Or has US of our textbooks hit the iceberg? I see it that way, partly because it is interesting to speculate. But no one knows.

The RNC couldn't win against the worst prez in history...they are history ...time for a third party. Boehner is a hopeless cause. He's what wrong with the party.

We do however have a republican caucus that will do pretty much anything for a tee time at a good private course and a cold beer.
