GOP Leader: U.S. Taxpayers Should Help Pay For BP Mess
At her weekly press event this morning, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reaffirmed her commitment to holding BP fully accountable for the spill, and backed a legislative initiative to lift a $75 million liability cap on oil companies...but she also snuck in a pot shot.
Pelosi Whacks Boehner Over Oil Spill Damages Controversy
Must be reason #3 for why you hate Pelosi's politics. . .
there are a hundred reasonss why Pelosi sucks.. that didn't even make my list
Putting Politics aside, was pelosi a better majority leader with regards to keeping control over her caucus?
hard to say but then again, the party that tends to favor collectivism tends to work better as a herd
I personally think boehner did the best he could do.

its a tough job when your party is not holding the presidency. I know lots of conservatives claim the guy was an establishment RINO and lots of Dems said he was too obstinate. probably means he wasn't all that bad.
I live about 5 minutes from where his district starts. He has a pretty good reputation around here
Must be the only people that don't make him cry.
so tell us sollectica, who do you want as the next speaker
Justin Amash, R-MI
It appears to be the right wing voting criteria

Public Policy Polling: John Boehner
Show me that I am wrong here....
Seriously?
You are offering Public Policy Polling as "proof" of something.
These guys?

There ya go, not shooting from the hip. No mistaking my opinion for fact. You are wrong here. That was easy. Your poll was 4 months old. Keep up.
That's why most repub voters want Palin to lead their party in Congress.
What is this nonsense?
I see that now. I'm sorry I asked. I assumed it may have been a typo. I can't believe people are conflating a bunch of harmless people who want less taxes and less government intervention with the Taliban.
It's ignorant.
Back to Boehner:
That the Left laments his leaving is all one has to know. They lost a very useful idiot.
After getting their asses kicked, their party all but nuked across the nation in the last midterms, Boehner and McConnell were given a mandate to stop the moron we call president. They didn't... the idiots.
McConnell should follow Boehner's lead... as he sucks as badly as Boehner.
So Hensarling has a shot? Because... Why? Why do you think he legitimately has a shot? That is my whole point. You think he is "more conservative" and can change things? Why? Based on what? A disagreement over the export import bank? For real? This is your standard? You really think the minority wing of the party has enough power to overcome the mainstream of the party (which is dominated by the vast majority of the party, may not be as loud, but guess what, "the quite rebellion" aint got **** on the majority wing of the party)? Let put ideology behind us and look at the political realities here....

.GOP pols in Congress are backed heavily by health insurers profiting immensely from PPACA; they wouldn't defund Obamacare if their lives depended on it.
And they wouldn't surrender their agribusiness donations by making it harder for undocumented immigrants to get in and be exploited.
They merely promised they would do those things to get their brain-dead, gullible right wing voting bloc to put them in power, and, of course, it worked, as it always does.
It would appear they are still very much afraid of shutting down government. And as long as they are afraid it will just be one precedent setting president after another who insists on absolute totalitarian rule. Regardless of consequences, we have to be willing to take it to the limit or we will never regain this thing of representative democracy.
No, they could not. That is the illusion that Boehner saw through.
