House Democrats Get Their Revenge By Telling Boehner HE'S ON HIS OWN WITH COUP

[Segami]

"...House Democrats have bailed Boehner out of numerous Republican caused crisis over the years, but Democrats were given nothing in return. House Democrats saved Boehner’s hide for the good of the country in the past, but the Ohio Republican’s ingratitude means that Democrats are more than happy to let Boehner figure this one out on his own...."

Speaker of the House John Boehner ignored House Democrats for years, and now they are not going to help him fight off a coup attempt from his fellow Republicans. House Minority Whip Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-MD) made the first comment by Democratic leadership on the potential toppling of Boehner, “It’s not our responsibility to try to solve their divisions.” The chairman of the Democratic Caucus, Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-CA) let it be known that Democrats aren’t going to take sides in the Republican Party’s civil war, “Like the Syrian Civil War, I’m not sure it’s easy to discern which side anyone is on.”


If Democrats stay out of the vote to topple Boehner, the Speaker of the House might be seriously screwed. Boehner needs House Democrats to at least vote present on a measure to require him to vacate the chair because it would lower the number of votes required for the Speaker to keep his position. Democrats are in no hurry to help Boehner because he has ignored their help and ideas for years. Speaker Boehner only came knocking on the Democrats’ doors when he needed votes to pass bills that he didn’t have enough support on his own to pass.

1. Yeah. Let him sink. I only worry the house will end up with an even bigger asshole calling the

tunes.

[6000eliot]

2. Isn't that the point?

[Ed Suspicious]

4. I don't know. I always got the impression that he was controlled by tea, but not tea himself (though

admittedly I can't decide which is worse).

[6000eliot]

10. Definitely. I was saying that the point was to get a bigger asshole in his place.

[Ed Suspicious]

13. I think I see. Your speaking from the puke perspective. From a more sane vantage, more teahadist

is not better than less.

[PatrickforO]

3. Hmm. Well, Boehner is a weak Speaker for sure.

But he IS old school. Willing to bend, to negotiate.

If the Dems abandon him as he deserves, and he DOES deserve it, then who will replace him? Will that person be a real nimrod? A conservative crazy?

Tune in next week...

5. negotiate means nothing if the other party to the negotiations gets nothing nt

[PatrickforO]

6. Well, that's why he's a weak Speaker. He can't control his right wing crazies.

[world wide wally]

7. tsk.. tsk… should have been done long ago

[merrily]

8. Not sure what to think about this until I know who takes his place and what happens afterward.

If he never did anything for us, why did we save his bottom so many times?

[Lochloosa]

12. My guess would be the idea of Louie Gohmert replacing him....

Or some other idiot of the same ilk.

[NBachers]

9. Time to let Boner stew in his own juices.

[YabaDabaNoDinoNo]

11. The should have do this a while ago oh well better late then never. Now which lunatic will replace

him?

Whom ever it is they should be good for lots of laughs.
