As before, you probably won't get any of the conservatives disagreeing about Boehner, Vic. We at least recognize when someone from our own party is a complete buffoon. I just hope the average voter feels the same way during the next election cycle. Kick 'im to the curb.

Well, it doesn't have to take until the next election cycle, it can happen in just a few weeks.
Time for a new Speaker?

About the only way that will happen is either he doesn't run or he gets primary'd by someone further right.

If he becomes unpopular enough, something unusual like that could occur. Also, it's not how far to the right he is that makes him awful, it's his decision-making in general. Harry Reid had the same problem, just from the opposite end of the political spectrum.

Reid and Boehner are remarkably similar our side can see it why can't the other? At least Reid is no longer relevant.

Nobody left of him will win in his district, hence, he'd have to be primary'd by someone further right. Either way, I don't believe for one second that he's making all these choices alone, he's got colleagues or handlers at least helping him make all these bad moves. I'd be more worried about what their intentions are.

I find it hard to take such a biased article seriously. Nevertheless, can you imagine what a political boon it would be for Congressional Republicans to actually vote against his nomination? What better way is there to show that they're willing to move beyond the freak show that has been modern-day Congress and do something that would actually draw praise from both Democrats and Republicans alike?

Republicans showing they can get stuff done by getting rid of this POS as speaker and controlling all congress. Democrats are gonna be in for a rough 2yrs maybe four or more.

I didn't really take it seriously either, but the fact is, he was embattled last year, and only kept his Speakership because Cantor backed him. And that cost Cantor his job, he didn't even make it out of primaries. Whats going to save him this time?

I highly doubt the mood will shift much, there isn't a supermajority, so Obama can just veto anything he wants and push out executive orders at will. Start looking to see small scale cooperation on both ends, 2016 is on everyone's mind, regardless of party.

Nothing biased about those articles, try again. Pretty hard to be biased when you are just reporting what GOP lawmakers said.

Like you all highly doubted Republicans would take the senate, gain in the house and governors.
I was one of the ones saying they'd get a majority, bubba.

And that's a huge problem in politics, nobody wants to hear an opposing viewpoint, they just stick their fingers in their ears and yell nonsense at the top of their lungs. Most people have the same M.O. for politics as they have for sports teams... and the use of "us" and "them" as if the GOP or Democrats have a clue who you are or would claim you is revolting.

I do not recollect you saying that, my bad. Not many said it and the ones that did got criticized hard. Silly me, I thought you was being a hypocrite again.
I want to hear the opposing viewpoint btw.. Its like the only reason I am here. Thing is you guys just really suck at presenting it.

I did! (vote for Obama that is; not Mickey. Mickey's a good guy, and his financial policies sure seem secure, but I'm not sure he's got the guts to pull the trigger on killing people who might need killed. That and I think he might have picked up a touch of the antisemitism from Walt.)
Lesser of two evils.
I'd do it again offered the same choices.
Doesn't mean I'm in love with the guy or support everything he's done.
McCain may have been okay on his own, but anyone who chooses to associate themselves with Sarah Palin has a glaringly obvious deficit that I simply can't just ignore.

Random Politics & Religion is for topics that aren't thread worthy on their own and do not have their own existing thread.
Rules and Guidelines
Forum Rules and P&R Section Guidelines still apply.
Satire is tolerated.
If your topic covers a story over 6 months old (Watergate, Benghazi, 2012 Election, etc.) post it here.
Discussions on racism, homophobia, transphobia, and the like are allowed, targeted insults based on these will not be tolerated.
Political debates get heated and are meant to be intense, if you take offense to being called or proven wrong, you don't belong here.
If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen; if you prove you can't handle the criticism you bring upon yourself in this thread, you may be removed from it. You are responsible for what you post.
Along those lines, heat is fine, but sustained, clearly personal hostility is not okay. The personal attack rules still apply. Attack positions, not posters. Failure to adhere to this will result in your removal from the thread.
This thread is NOT the Flame Core.
These rules are subject to change and modification where and when needed.
Random Politics & Religion may be mained or demained depending on the activity within at a Moderator's discretion.
With that out of the way, let the debates begin!
