Please flush him out of congress but keep him in DC. We do not want him back in Ohio. We have enough problem "leaders" of our own.

During Obama’s campaign for the 2008 presidential election, he portrayed his mother as a conservative girl from Kansas; however in reality she was a radical leftist and cultural Marxist. She lived in the Seattle area; spending her teenage years in Seattle coffee shops with other young radical leftist. Obama claims his mother’s family were conservative Methodists or Baptists from Kansas. However his mother’s parents were members of a left-wing Unitarian church near Seattle. The church located in Bellevue, Washington was nicknamed ‘the little red church,’ because of its communist leanings.

The school Ann attended, Mercer Island High School, was a hotbed of pro-Marxist radical teachers. John Stenhouse, board member, told the House Un-American Activities Subcommittee that he had been a member of the Communist Party USA and this school has a number of Marxists on its staff. Two teachers at this school, Val Foubert and Jim Wichterman, both Frankfurt School style Marxists, taught a critical theory curriculum to students which included; rejection of societal norms, attacks on Christianity, the traditional family, and assigned readings by Karl Marx. The hallway between Foubert’s and Wichterman classrooms was some times called ‘anarchy ally.’

Dunham has been described by her friends as ‘a fellow traveler’ meaning ‘a communist sympathizer.

Boehner's personal problem is he should be in a 12 step program.
His political problem is, his personal problem makes him the most incompetent Speaker in history and he should have his BIG gavel taken way.

There should be a LAW against being allowed to be the third in line to the Presidency while
impaired.
I doubt if this man could pass a breathalyzer test on any given day.

As predicted, this is the Eric Contor campaign for Speaker. Can any one imagine this? The crooks at the helm?

"open defiance among the ranks"? What? They march in lock-step shouting "NO"!

This man is a fool! He cannot lead - he looked so stupid on TV yesterday talking about energy, He looks like the Penquin in Batman. Very dangerous - he is being led by the crazies on the right. He cannot even stand up on his own. Rachel is right - this man is VERY BAD at his job.

When given a choice between leadership or tanning, the choice is unnaturally clear.
Eric Kantor ( who probably paid for this article ), is however, ready willing & pallid & sneaky enough to take over in a nano second.....

His colleagues talk about his open style but could this simply be that Boehner has no leadership capabilities and is simply not well suited for the job or could he just be totally incompetent?

Leader?? This guy has been a complete disaster. I can't believe any GOP members or supporters are remotely happy about this guy's performance.
