You know the Village meme about divided Dems? Wonder what they'll make of this:
Outgoing House Speaker John A. Boehner, in his first one-on-one interview since announcing his resignation last week, compared conservative hard-liners in his party to biblical "false prophets" who promise more than they can deliver.
Boehner announced Friday that he would step down Oct. 30 after nearly five years as speaker amid constant pressure from his party's right flank. Asked Sunday by host John Dickerson on a live broadcast of CBS's "Face the Nation" whether those hard-liners are "unrealistic about what can be done in government," Boehner exploded.
"Absolutely, they're unrealistic!" he said. "But, you know, the Bible says beware of false prophets, and there are people out there spreading noise about how much can get done."
Boehner may have been the most ineffectual Speaker of the House, ever. It wasn't just the dysfunction within his caucus, it was also his complete lack of vision. But things can actually get worse for the GOP. Some are predicting that GOP Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy will be chosen to replace Boehner, but that wouldn't sit well with the hard-line teabag types who drove Boehner from office. The hardline teabag types won't be satisfied until one of their own is in charge, which would be great fun, given the tea party's overwhelming unpopularity around the country.
The reactions of Republican presidential candidates have varied from gloating, to veiled gloating, to caution and concern—because many of them are at a loss as to what to do. The GOP establishment created and fed off this extremist monster, and now it is devouring them.
there have been a few republicans who have stepped up and pulled the curtain back showing the maggots all over the ED ELEPHANT DUNG and admitting the damage they have done to Americans and this country specifically over the last 7 years. you could call it sour grapes for like Trump says they didn't treat them nice but in this case i think Beohner wanted to say that these last 7years.
he wanted to work with Pres. but the tea people kept saying no. i wonder why he stayed this long you could see on his face the toll of resistance eating him up as we also could see the sincerity of his singing "zippity do da" his face even looked less orange but still wet from the tears this time i think not from frustration but joy. others going through a crisis of conscious should follow suit or be consumed by the party that eats it's own bones and all.
