John Boehner. Well the Mayan's were right - at least for him. His world just ended tonight. Bye-bye. Don't let the chambers door hit you on your "butt" on the way out. Oh - and turn out the lights for the Repugs.
Now if I were PBO I would take all offers to compromise off the table now and tell the Repugs we have to start fresh.

(24,764 posts)One way to beat rethug gerrymandering: a massive relocation campaign. Dems from safe districts where the rep got 70-90% of the vote should move to districts where repukes won by about 10,000 votes. 10-20K new Dem voters in these manipulated repuke districts can flip the seat blue.
Caveat: the moving costs, lost wages, the costs of trying to find employment (unless you're on a fixed income).

(13,775 posts)They won't be led. They won't understand facts. They won't compromise. They're spoiled little children who will scream and yell, throwing a temper tantrum, when they don't get their way.
They're not interested in governing. They don't care if they destroy the country. They really don't care.

(14,180 posts)raving mad. I can't even listen to them now for more than about 5 seconds, so little credibility or gravitas do their positions have any longer. They're a party of lunatics, a confederacy of dunces.

It needs to be discarded.
