No More Tears! Speaker John Boehner Forced To Resign By Angry, Betrayed GOP
John Boehner, House Speaker, Will Resign From Congress
EDITOR’S NOTE: Finally, the GOP has mustered up the courage necessary to force from power one of the most egregious RINO’s in modern political history. Barack Obama would not have been nearly half as successful implementing his nastiness had he not had John “Crying Game” Boehner aiding and abetting him every step along the way. Welcome back from your slumber, Republican Party, just remember to stay awake. Time is fleeting…so let’s get busy and defund Planned Parenthood and repeal Obamacare. Thanks!
WASHINGTON — Speaker John A. Boehner, under intense pressure from conservatives in his party, announced on Friday that he would resign one of the most powerful positions in government and give up his House seat at the end of October, as Congress moved to avert a government shutdown.
Mr. Boehner, who was first elected to Congress in 1990, made the announcement in an emotional meeting with his fellow Republicans on Friday morning.
The Ohio representative struggled from almost the moment he took the speaker’s gavel in 2011 to manage the challenges of divided government and to hold together his fractious and increasingly conservative Republican members.
Most recently, Mr. Boehner, 65, was trying to craft a solution to keep the government open through the rest of the year, but was under pressure from a growing base of conservatives who told him that they would not vote for a bill that did not defund Planned Parenthood.
Mr. Boehner’s stunning announcement lessens the chance of a government shutdown next week as Republican leaders in Congress will push for a short-term funding measure to keep the government operating and the speaker will no longer be deterred by those who threatened his job. source
