John Boehner is the visible leader of the Republican Party. As Speaker of the House, the only Republican-led institution in Washington DC right now, it is his duty to press a Republican agenda.

His office should be, at all times, rallying the base of the party in order to create a groundswell of support for future electoral gains. Instead, he is personally, actively working to diminish, purge, and destroy those who do not fall in lock-step behind him.

Because of his growing and now public defiance of those wishing to adhere to the Constitution and the basic conservative principles that the Republican Party platform espouses, he has created a leadership vacuum that is being filled by Senate Conservatives.

What Drunk Johnny doesn;t realize because he is either suffering from the DT's or his tears are blinding him, is that he has no real support. The Tea Party folks have real active supporters. The Rats have an army of dead beat losers for support. Drunk Johnny and his weak little RINO leadership cadre do not have any base support to speak of. No one but a hand full of DC insiders like this guy. That is why he is going to lose this fight. No one gives a royal shit about him because he is a failure.
