The Final Days of Speaker of the House John Boehner?

[TeamPooka]

Is this it for Boner?
Will the GOP really re-elect this guy Speaker in Jan?
How can they after this last final cluster-f**k?
If they don't trust him to cut deals how can they keep him as Speaker?

The Cheshire Cat smile on Cantor's face last night seemed like he looks ready to pounce.
Plus if I was Cantor and looking forward to 2010 I'd be worried that the GOP will lose the House at this rate and if he wants to be Speaker this upcoming term may be his only chance....
And with the changing demographics of America this chance may be his only chance for a decade or so.

So, will Boner be Speaker again in Jan?

1. The Orange Man will return.

Bank on it.

[TeamPooka]

3. There's some things about the GOP I would bet on: misogyny, pro-rape statements, racism etc

but this outcome isn't one of them.

7. I agree with immoderate below

it's by default. Cantor is a rat, he can't stand the light of day.

[immoderate]

6. He'll repeat by default.

Republicans may know enough to not trust each other!"

8. Bazinga!

2. Cut throat Cantor

Will be there in the wings waiting to dispose of him like an act in a Shakespeare tragedy.

Is this the dagger I see before me, the handle toward my hand?

9. alas poor Boner...

[libodem]

10. We knew him, well

Swoon. Back of had against forehead, turns away sharply.

[Whovian]

4. I keep reading the OP title as the last days of Pompeii

and visualize the republicans in office today as plaster statues in their death throes.

5. that or Nixon's final walk to Marine One...

[libodem]

11. The times..they are a changin'

I say start drawing up documents to throw them out if the Republicans don't start governing. They are stalling just because they are not in power. It is the damnedest thing ever. They have dug in their heels and crossed their collective arms and fought everything. No appointments, even.

Do you know the Republicans will not confirm a new head of the ATF? We are ass deep in alligators at this point in history and the House Republicans, want to dick around and play games. Play politics. Stand as a group, a block, and be contrary to the common good, and that is chickenshit. It is their only power and they have been directed to do it. It is sick and wrong. It must be stopped.

They need expelled per their record of noncompliance with the spirit of governing for the people.

Republicans have forgotten WHO they represent.

[TeamPooka]

12. They didn't forget: corporations and rich folk.

[1-Old-Man]

13. I can't actually imagine why either Cantor or Boehner might want the job to tell the truth

But if I were Boehner I'd sure be careful of Cantor.

14. et tu Brutus?

15. I voted for the popcorn deal. Sounds better than speculating on truly disgusting people.

[TeamPooka]

16. maybe it is after all
