I mean, give me a break!! Give yourself a break!! John Boehner was a "leader" in the march to crash our economy. He was there, every step of the way not only rubber-stamping but spearheading every failed policy that caused the crash that has created so much pain for all of America. Why should he be rewarded with a Speakership??
Besides, despite all his huge talk on "fiscal responsibility" he was right there for Wall St. Do Americans really think he is on their side?? Listen to him practically begging the House to bail out the big bankers:
He was right there for debt, deregulation, and disaster in the first decade of the new century and then he was right there to bail out his buddies on Wall St. while they pocketed the money and froze lending. Can America not look at the Corporate voting record of John Boehner and see that having a House of Representatives led by him would be a total disaster not only for working people, but for all of America??:

Does America that easily forget Boehner's role in promoting the Iraq War and keeping it alive wasting over a trillion dollars and thousands of American lives?? Do they remember him calling the lives lost and sacrifices made by our troops and their families a "small price" insulting them??:
While I have been disgusted with the antics of the Democrats, it is because I feel they have partly been poisoned by the ideology of men like John Boehner. However, even with that considered the ideology of the modern Republican Party is simply too irresponsible to control any branch of government. There Corporate policies and constant bad decision making almost destroyed our country before, and now with their huge losses in the last election they have just become more hate-filled, idiotic, and are even more determined to shove their version of uncaring Americanism off on the rest of us.
One thing I can promise the rest of America is that men like John Boehner are the problem and have never been the solution to anything that worked right.
