    I'm guessing he realized he is going to hell.

    Money quote from the article:
    “There are anywhere from two to four dozen members who don’t have an affirmative sense of governance,” said Representative Charlie Dent, Republican of Pennsylvania. “They can’t get to yes. They just can’t get to yes, and so they undermine the ability of the speaker to lead. And not only do they undermine the ability of the speaker to lead, but they undermine the entire Republican conference and also help to weaken the institution of Congress itself.”

    I like "can't get to yes."

    I voted for Dr. No three times.

    After you get off yours. He was the democrat patsy that was Obama's "yes sir"

    But like it even matters anyway. The DC Establishment will bring in another patsy to make you them happy. And the reality is this dumb shit already done enough damage to last 10 years

    yeah, that's it.

    If he was his Yes man, why has nothing been done?

    It couldn't be that labeling him a "yes man" is just the conservatives way of throwing him under the bus, could it? Nope, couldn't be. he obviously worked hand in hand with Obama and the Democrats!

    kinda wish this would've happened after the Tea Party mandate. Kind of de-balls what the voters think when the Majority Leader pays more attention to the President's wishes than his constituency.

    You say "getting to yes" like it's a good thing. Frankly, I'd rather there be a lot more scrutiny on laws/bills/budgets being passed. From both ends. If a Teabangelical introduces a dumb bill, it shouldn't get passed so that "we can now see what's in it". If the President says he's going to shut down the government through veto because he thinks Planned Parenthood getting tax money is more important than, say, paying federal workers or funding education, then let's have some scrutiny and debate. Make Congresspeople put a vote on the record.

    Plus, even when Boehner did things I agree with, the manner in which he did it (or walked back from it under pressure, like raising the retirement age) did not help the country move to a better place.

    Actually I think the limp Boehner just woke up, realized Trump was in front of the Republican race and said...OK...that's the last straw..I QUIT!

    In order to be a RINO, you must pass as being a Republican. Looking at how he supported a lot of Obama's policies, and kept back peddling to stop the purse after Republicans gained control of congress is exhibit "A"

    So wasting our money doing vote after vote to repeal Obamacare which will never be repealed is being the Democrats puppet? Bohner was part of the problem.

    You know, it just occurred to me that if you blended Mags and dviss1, politically you'd get me. Physically, that would be interesting. Hope I get dviss1's hair.

    Please elaborate on the many Obama proposals that Bohner passed in the House.

    I'll wait...

    The fact that you're blaming government shutdown on Obama really says all we need to know.
