Is Boehner out?

Boner is a coward on a leash anyway. I'd rather risk it and see if a new leader is a change for the better. It couldn't be worse. At least a new person might actually tell the truth about their intentions.

they should put in somebody that will truly act in a bipartisan manner to compromise and get things done in Washington. If they continue to dig their heels in and stick to their Repug ways - they risk extinction because the American People see that they are on the wrong side of all the issues that face us.

Problem is that his party doesn't want to negotiate and compromise.

not going to be replaced. There is not enough teabaggers to replace him. Cantor and Boehner are allies. They didn't just undercut Boehner but Cantor too. Boehner is Batman and Cantor is Robin. And both of them just told the Press, the Senate never sent that Bill, Pelosi claimed she was trying to get signatures for. Somebody is not telling the Truth.

I know **I** sure as hell wouldn't trust him!

Fun to watch, though!

Just got done reading on another site that a group of tea baggers are trying to talk Paul Ryan into taking over the leadership position. They indicated that Ryan would have to be assurred that he has enough votes to knock our Boehner

in the Pogues.

(which should then lead you to the image of Boehner and Michelle Bachmann singing "Fairytale of New York").

Boehner is the average DC Republican politician. The Tea Party Congress critters are a totally different and far more poisonous species.

But Boehner is the Speaker, not the Majority leader.

Eric Cantor is majority leader - they're different positions. Steny Hoyer was leader when Nancy Pelosi was Speaker.

the Republican party day in and day out, in the long run it will kill the Republican party.

The better question might be who would want the damn position, though? The rethugs are ungovernable IMO. The schism between the party regulars and the teabaggers is too wide to bridge. I think Ryan is their wet dream idea of SOtH, but he (probably) wouldn't be able to lead any better than Boehner has. I don't think all the rethugs want the face of the party to be a congressman who was identified as being a primary reason for the defeat of the brand in November in the presidential race. Ryan is tarred with his Ayn Rand fantasies and nihilistic approach to entitlements and the concept that greed is not only good, more green is even better even if it means that every one of the 99% die in poverty and privation.

His power is weakened severely.

If he stays, the republicans will continue to weaken and fall apart. Why change now?
