The leading candidate to replace Boehner is Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California, who is widely viewed more favorably by the more conservative members:

The bottom feeding bastard is going to try to make sure PPH is funded before he leaves.

Hey, he has made the decision, time to ABORT him. Force him out now.
Time for the Tea Party to stand up and ensure not one single piece of
legislation is passed under this Democrat-wanna-be's lame duck time.

Put a fork in the Republican Party

It's hilarious. Can't wait to see how they make Obama do what they want. I guess shut down the government for 13 months, and another impeachment proceeding.

The problem with shutting down the government is that it always opens back up. Maybe we should abort it.

They don't get paid during the time the gov't is shut down.

Then, about 5 seconds after it reopens again, the printing press starts going at high speed cutting separate checks for the monies not paid during the 'shut down'. So, in essence, it's a paid vacation.

One more thing, when the government 'shuts down' due to politics, etc., about 85 per cent of the government does NOT shut down at all, it continues to operate.

When the government was shut down last time the media made Cruz sound like he was a crazy man, but the government was shut down a bunch of times under Carter and Reagan and a few times under Clinton and George WW Bush. The idea should be if you are going to shut it down, make sure you are going to win a concession by doing so.
