It is time for him to go away as the de facto leader of the Republicans.

Yeah, even the main Republican "rival" for Speaker, Cantor, voted for weepy Boehner.

Stretch Pelosi's another gangster that won minority leadership as well.

The Kabuki continues.

Not a fan of Boner, but he should have quit, he is in a no win position. If he compromises, he is hated by the right, and if he doesnt he is hated by the rest.

On the otherhand if Hockeydad says he must go, then it shall be done.

Mitt Romney’s poor performance among minority voters, single women, and young people has led many top Republicans to call for an overhaul of the party’s image. Here are some options the GOP is considering to extend its appeal:

Start nominating hipper, more relatable 65-year-old men

Begin rolling the R’s in “deportation” and “border fence”

A bunch of abortions and stuff—whatever the gals want

Change nothing and wait for rest of country to come to its senses

Project youthful vibe by requiring Republican congressmen to walk around Capitol doing yo-yo tricks

Change party mascot to a Hispanic elephant

Start one of those Twitter hashtags

Eh, **** it—just disenfranchise as many people as possible

Saw Rand Paul last night on a snippet of Hannity. Man, I wish HE was the Senate Majority leader or Speaker of the House.😢

...and yes, I can't handle Hannity for more than a snippet these days. The CNBC's/MSNBC's etc. for even less if at all.

Let's face it, if they were my party, I'd shave their azz and teach 'em to walk backwards . . . .

We need a pragmatic group of leaders in both parties who can work together to find common ground which benefits all American people. Because the Republicans are controlled by big business and the democrats are controlled by the labor union leadership. Neither of which group gives a damn about any of us.

No one had the balls to call for a ballot vote. those who wanted him out were just 17 swing-votes off. many didn't vote at all until they were pressured by the established party leaders like cantor. Closer than most would think. He's a lame duck. One more miscalculation or disengagement and he is gone. Its coming during the looming budget fight. He's toast- for the good of us all. Say hello to Eric Cantor, my friends.
