    An establishment Republican will win it. The hope is it will be someone less vengeful and petty than Boehner. The liberty Republicans up there no they can't win it, they just want a more fair speaker.

    Rumors on Capitol Hill: Boehner Cut Deal With Pelosi to Avoid Government Shutdown

    Sources tell Breitbart News that several members of the House of Representatives are saying “the rumor is Boehner cut a deal with Pelosi.”

    According to those sources, outgoing House Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) and Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) agreed that her Democratic caucus would join Boehner along with a handful of Boehner loyalists and moderate establishment Republicans to continue Planned Parenthood funding, along with a few other budget items President Obama says were must-haves, in order to avoid a Government shutdown.

    Boehner resigned because he knew that after he cut that deal, conservatives in his own party would be so furious with him that it would make challenges to his Speakership a certainty, sources say. Even if he survived those challenges, his remaining year and three months in office would be contentious and personally uncomfortable for him.
    ...
    Breitbart News has not confirmed these statements made by sources on Capitol Hill with anyone who is willing to go on-the-record.

    Hensarling would be my first choice among the "realistic" options too. As long as it is not McCarthy though. If Rubio is Mark Zuckerberg's personal Senator, then McCarthy is his personal Representative.

    EXCLUSIVE: #Boehner’s Replacement Is Carrying On Long Running Affair With Congresswoman

    Neither McCarthy, nor Ellmers has denied it and now that McCarthy is next in line for the speakership of the House the affair has taken on new relevance.
    Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC) and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) at the U.S. Capitol July 28, 2011 in Washington, DC.

    Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC) and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) (center) at the U.S. Capitol July 28, 2011 in Washington, DC.

    Multiple sources within Bakersfield, North Carolina, & on Capitol Hill tell Gotnews.com that Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Renee Ellmers (R-NC) have been carrying on a long-running affair since 2011.

    The affair is something of an open secret in Washington, D.C. Reporters at other publications, lobbyists, congressional staffers of both parties all know about it. One staffer for a congressman describes it as the “biggest open secret” in D.C. A lobbyist describes Ellmers as a “social climber who has ingratiated herself” with McCarthy.

    House leadership also knows about the affair. Speaker John Boehner reportedly told McCarthy to stop the affair once McCarthy was elected Majority Leader says a well placed congressional staffer.

    So, essentially, he is a coward trying to escape the consequences of his actions/decisions. If he can't defend them, he shouldn't do them.

    Apparently they are saying that he's doing it because of the Pope's visit. That the Pope's talk about compassion changed his heart. In his speech he said that he "woke up, got down on my knees and prayed like I always do. Then, spur of the moment, I just decided that was it." (paraphrasing).

    Bonehead should step into a prison cell with others to follow. Just saying...
    If Rand does not win the Republican nomination, he should buck the controlled two party system and run as an Independent for President in 2016 and give Americans a real option to vote for.

    We are all born libertarians then something goes really wrong. Despite this truth, most people are still libertarians yet not know it.

    That's just Democrat spin. Boehner and the communist pope are two peas in a pod.

    Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.
