This is HUGE: Speaker of the House John Boehner will be resign from Congress next month. The Ohio Republican took the gavel in 2011 and has faced many challenges from conservatives who are angry that things aren’t being accomplished. After winning control of the House and then the Senate, Republicans haven’t lived up to their promises as President Obama continues to rule essentially unchecked.
The current pressing matter John Boehner is faces is the fight to defund Planned Parenthood. Conservatives are willing to shut the government down in order to stop the $500 million pipeline of federal tax dollars to the abortion giant now caught trafficking parts of the babies they abort. But mainstream Republicans are hesitant to do this as they are concerned more with the next election than the victims of Planned Parenthood. Conservatives have pressed leadership on this issue, challenging their pro-life credentials when they aren’t willing to risk their political futures.
Now, that fight will be passed onto the next Speaker.
This is a major blow to the Republican establishment, as outsider, non-politician Presidential candidates like Donald Trump, Dr. Ben Carson, and Carly Fiorina top the polls.

The sooner Obama’s puppet Republican John Boehner is gone the better. Now it’s time to pull the other Obama puppet, Republican Mitch McConnell, off his Congressional Senate chair. These two congressmen have done as much damage to the conservative agenda as the 11 Liberal Republican and Tea Party “Rhino” Congressional Members who need to be put on conservative voter’s “Do Not Reelect” list.
‘What would your departing words to John Boehner be? Please join the discussion.’
Good-bye, Good luck, and Good riddance.
May he have a Short retirement! There’s a chair with his name on it waiting for him next to LBJ – In H3LL!
I suspect that we will now see a Gov shutdown. I think Boehner has given up the fight. A shutdown will mean the Republicans will take the blame and could lose the Presidential election as a result.
McCarthy is smiling because he thinks he will succeed Boehner. Fat chance!
Bye-bye, birdie.
Looks like the Day Care Center will need to find another Supervisor.
Another Supervisor? Try another “crybaby”!
One RINO down, many more to go.
The only Good RINO is a Dead RINO. Lets make all RINO’s Good very soon!
Thank you God;Pope Frances really can work miracles,NOW THE REPUBLICAN PARTY MIGHT BE SAVED. ITS TIME TO DO THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE PUT REPUBLICANS IN OFFICE TO DO??
Cowardliness is running through the veins of our politicians. Doesn’t seem to matter what party you belong to. What i have seen is John Boehner has had his conscience pricked by the Pope.And he is removing himself out of the position of authority.He has had his heart affected by the words of the Pope and knows in his heart that Funding Planned Parenthood is Wrong in the sight of God. Therefore he is stepping away as the main voice in this hotbed debate. My opinion.
Because of the mistakes he was making I felt a long time ago he needed to go, but at the same time, I felt he thought he was doing the right thing. This is not a bad man, he’s a good man that has been wrapped up into a shell and didn’t completely know how to get out. He has had to work with people that are vain in their own making and have only thought about themselves and I have a feeling that they wanted Boehner to do the same. Now we have to hope for an individual that cares about us and what is going on and is going to try to help the country the right way and not let Obama or anyone else sway those feelings. We need someone that is true and caring and strong.
well its about time , lets save USA , Obama should be IMPEACHED long time ago ,
Good riddance!
God be with you John i admire you for not folding to there demands no matter what others say I know you are a man of values
Unfortunately, just the wrong values.
“But mainstream Republicans are hesitant to do this as they are concerned more with the next election than the victims of Planned Parenthood.”
ALWAYS some flimsy excuse as to why Republicans just can’t confront the Communist Party of America….isn’t there?
You beginning to suspect something??
Good….
If the Republicans WERE concerned about the next election they would defund the unConstitutional P-P….defund ObamaCare…. take action against Barack (not impeachment….treason) and Hillary and Eric and Reid….shut down the unConstitutional liberalized Dept of Education….
But rather than uphold right-wing ideals, they’ve seen the liberals’ tactic of deceit reap rewards….so they’ll just take the easy road.
And conservatives (Constitutionalists) will continue staggering around in a stupor of disbelief with NO representation in WashDC.
Dean, the only way to make this country “Great again”, is for Republicans to get everyone to respect and follow the constitution and our current laws. They have been ignored by Obama and his minions. Getting reelected and a Repub President is of major importance for the Republican party to support this goal. If giving in to Obama and not causing a Gov shutdown to do this will keep the votes – so be it.
Don’t let the door hit you in the butt, on the way out. A lot of ‘worstes’ for this administration, worst speaker of the house in my lifetime; good riddance.
James A:
Yup….one less liberal….
(Republican?! Is that what John’s been telling everyone??)
More like Repugnant.
