    Those who call their fellow Republicans "RINO's" are themselves, not true Republicans.

    Nice hyperbole with no substantial backing. It must be such a sad day for democrats now that their puppet has resigned

    The number of congress people who are willing to work with the other side are dwindling. The orange man was more willing than most to compromise.

    One might view this as good from either ideological position but from the position of actually having an occasional bill make it through congress, things just got stickier.

    I do it think its very interesting that the resignation came a day after the pope visit. He had invited two other popes to speak in front of congress to no avail, he is a devout Catholic and yesterday was obviously one of the most important days of his life. Extremely emotional. I would love a candid explanation.

    On one hand I'm glad he's leaving, but on the other I'm sort of terrified to see who replaces him. At least with Boehner he was willing to be moderate on some issues, but with the direction the party is heading with Teabangelicals calling all the shots for them lately, Congress is going to be even more disastrous.

    The image of the Speaker, all choked up while this socialist Pope waxed on made my ass ache.

    Something is imminent, really doubt it's revolution.

    Unless you think the Republican party splintering is a revolution.

    Someone must have told you to stick that picture up your ass? They probably didn't mean it literally.

    I absolutely love all the "christians" cringing at the pope! It's fucking priceless!

    Carry on.
