Republican Ohio Senator John Boehner, who has served in Congress since 1990, announced Friday he will leave the Senate within weeks:
“My mission every day is to fight for a smaller, less costly, and more accountable government. Over the last five years, our majority has advanced conservative reforms that will help our children and their children. I am proud of what we have accomplished.
“The first job of any Speaker is to protect this institution that we all love. It was my plan to only serve as Speaker until the end of last year, but I stayed on to provide continuity to the Republican Conference and the House.
“It is my view, however, that prolonged leadership turmoil would do irreparable damage to the institution. To that end, I will resign the Speakership and my seat in Congress on October 30.
“Today, my heart is full with gratitude for my family, my colleagues, and the people of Ohio’s Eighth District. God bless this great country that has given me – the son of a bar owner from Cincinnati – the chance to serve.”
If Hitlery has any decency she would go for a ride in the poopmobile along with the head cheeze.and on their trip to mars they could talk about screwing over America some more.
The fall of the GOP has begun. Hang on the tea baggers are gonna take us for a ride………. backwards.
Buh Bye Boner. Though he was the only person keeping the lunatic fringe Tea Party at bay. I fear who will replace him will be way worse.
or better
@David-Good Point.
I have a feeling your definition of better is my worse
Davids better = government shutdown
who cares about a government shutdown? Obama shuts down the monuments and memorials. In the end, all welfare recipients get paid and all government employee’s get paid, so who is damaged?
democrats do whatever they can to cause the republicans to shutdown the government just so they can label the republicans as unamerican and against the people. I am sick and tired of the 2 parties and think we need to start over.
Agreed. Lets get rid of them all and get people in that will do what we elected them to do.
