Worst Speaker Of The House Ever...

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.

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).

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.

Methinks it will be drunk out there in Boehner's world tonight.

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.
