For the life of me, I still can't figure out how this guy was able to retain the gavel of the majority party in congress for so long, considering he has been a roadblock in almost every single grassroots initiative to bring runaway congressional spending under control. One would think the guy was a Democrat, in all practical ways.
He has failed to deliver any of the promises that were made to the voting public if they delivered majority status to the GOP: repeal Obamacare, balance the budget, get tough on Iran, build a wall along the Mexican border, repeal the death tax, block partial birth abortions, de-fund Planned Parenthood, and a whole host of other conservative ideas to turn around the U.S. and its head long plunge over the fiscal and moral cliff.
He has been virtually impotent as a conservative leader going all the way back to his days as the House Majority leader under then-speaker Denny Hastert in 2006. If we all recall, this was the heady days when the GOP held all three legislative positions of power: the Presidency (George W. Bush), the Senate (majority leader Bill Frist) and the House (Denny Hastert). Doesn't anyone remember all of the progress we made towards a fiscally and morally superior country during that time of total GOP control of all things legislative?
Oh, yeah. That's because we didn't accomplish JACK SQUAT when we had the chance, thanks to this incompetent bunch of perennially weak and timid GOP establishment weenies, John Boehner chief among them.
The resignation of John Boehner is a huge step forward towards achieving a much needed conservative agenda: beefing up the military, securing the border, cutting taxes and beating back the secular progressive attack on all things good and decent in this country.
John Boehner was an impediment to any and all GOP initiatives during his entire time in his leadership roles in the Republican Party. He was the face of the now hated "Establishment/Old Guard Republican Party."
The only thing John Boehner will be remembered for, other than being an incredibly timid and weak leader, was that he had the lowest golf handicap in Congress. Big whoop.
Good riddance to this raging moderate cry baby. Things are now looking up for the GOP going forward. Carpe diem, Republicans. A major bottleneck in an American resurgence as that Shining City on a Hill has just stepped down.
Go get 'em.

He will also be remembered for his tan and his tears.
My prediction is that he'll be replaced with a bigger rino or at least someone just as useless.
Don't let the door hit ya.....
LL: I will mostly remember him for blowing a huge opportunity to stop Obama.
Kid:
The early favorite is Kevin McCarthy, from California. He's Boehner's hand picked successor, so I will automatically dislike him (apple doesn't fall far from the tree, you know).
Give me somebody like Louie Gomert (R-Tx), or Trey Goudy (R-Sc). Now THOSE guys are the real deal.
Ed: yes, the guy is leaving with not a lot of love from the ol' gang.
This is what happens when you piss off the one that brung you.
Fredd, Gomert, Goudy, agree. Well lets just keep purging these rino libtards.
I'm so glad he's gone....he did nothing for us after all those wins in 2014....but man, to have the House so excited, his 'friends' cheering that he was leaving. That is TOUGH.
Odie: exactly. When you bite the hand that feeds you. If you recall, this guy was hammering Tea Party folks when they didn't vote for his pork laden compromises by booting them from committee chair positions, etc.
And if we all remember, its the Tea Party folks and their ilk that delivered him the gavel in the first place, and what does he do with it? Smack them with it.
Good riddance, that guy was a real piece o' work.
Kid:
Purging RINOs will indeed continue, but it is a long process. Boehner wasn't the first in the leadership to go down in flames, it was Cantor: he had the same mentality. He forgot who got him there in the first place.
Z: Boehner was despised by many (including me, but I don't count). I have been bad mouthing the guy since the Mark Foley debacle in 2006, where Boehner and Hastert let that pervert run wild while the GOP took a beating for it.
Kid: Darrell Issa (R-Ca) for Speaker. How does that sound?
I love that guy.
I don't know much about Issa. What I do know is he keeps investigating things and nothing ever comes of it. If the dems could put the screws to Scooter Libby, you'd think the repubs would get at least one catch with all the criminal activity and corruption in obama's clown car.
Whoever follows Boehner into his job will find this an impossible situation. When the media is constantly thumping on the Right that "nothing gets done because they're so rightwing, they don't have the interests of the country at heart" ONLY BECAUSE THEY DISAGREE WITH WHAT'S GOING ON, ...that's a bad message during an 'almost' election year. And powerfully effective. People just don't realize "that's America...we disagree; we don't give in until there is REAL compromise, adherence to the Constitution, putting America first". They've forgotten.
Z:
I think McCarthy is a lock for Speaker. Too bad, he is the Establishment's hand picked Golden Boy, and accordingly I automatically distrust him to do the right thing.
Hand the gavel to Trey Goudy, Louie Gomert or Darryl Issa: they will know what to do.
