Current Events
A rambunctious wing of the GOP, made up primarily of 80 Tea Party members in the House of Representatives, basically gave Speaker Boehner the middle finger, hijacked the party, then hijacked the country for not getting their way over the 2 year old law: Obamacare. Or in other words, the Republican leadership allowed Pandora’s Box to be opened — and now it will be next to impossible to close it back again!
John Boehner is a weak leader. Yesterday, he showed the world that he has absolutely no control over the party he supposedly leads. Party infighting. Public name calling. Votes brought to the floor by one Republican against another. Those are all things that should have occurred behind closed doors, not in public, in the media and on the House floor. But it did. Out in the open. If anyone was certain the Republican Party was already dead, yesterday its surviving members dug up the corpse, killed it, then re-buried it again. Interestingly, Boehner’s career likely went into the ground with it.
Current Events
Like a pack of rabid, wild dogs, John Boehner could not control the troops of representatives he was elected to lead. Nor have Republicans magically forgotten all the mud slinging and name calling they engaged in with each other over the past 48 hours. So, how can Boehner effectively continue as Speaker of the House and de facto leader of the Republican Party?
The Republican Party is dead. It seems the political career of John Boehner may be too!
"Like a pack of rabid, wild dogs, …"
There. Right there. You've said it all DJ.
Throughout his entire presidency, this President..Our President..has had to deal with the human equivalent of "a pack of rabid, wild, dogs."
Boehner…indeed, the entire Repub *Establishment*…are getting exactly what they deserve. The eventual fate of the GOP was sealed long ago..the day they cynically climbed into bed with PACKS of rabid, wild dogs. They did it it to gain votes, money and Power and now those rabid wild dogs have turned on them. Like they say "Timing is everything."
I honestly hope the death of the GOP is as slooow and as PAINFUL as it can possibly be.
Stand firm Mr. President. Stand.Firm.
