COMMENTS: 
*  I am always confounded by the American people. They claim to despise the #$%$s and charlatans in Congress yet they re-elect them election after election. I suppose my congressman is a #$%$ and a charlatan but yours at least steals for your own district. The American voter is to blame for the current train wreck in Washington, not the elected people. They simply are working the system. Now you all can get back to Dancing with the Stars and the Kardashians.
*  Why not just go all the way and denounce those idiots? They are absolutely dysfunctional and they are pulling the thread out of the sweater because it's fun and produces dramatic destruction, and they don't know a thing about how to knit.  They will have us living in caves again if we don't stop them. They reject science, which they sit on their #$%$ benefiting from, kindness, generosity, forgiveness, and of course, the Pope, because he speaks the truth, and that is their worst enemy.
*  There is so much descriptive hyperbole in politics that I have no idea what or whom to believe. So I concentrate on forming and following my own clear beliefs. Then I use these to try to apply to "our" politicians - which is one heck of a job telling the liars from the sincere, as well as, understanding what politicians say - rarely do they speak clearly!  Most times I want to say to politicians: "Please repeat that a little more slowly backwards, so I can misunderstand you a little more incorrectly"!
*  We need sweeping reforms throughout Congress. There is a reason Congress is at a 17% approval rating.
*  This is how throughout our political history when a party becomes more about ruling than governing is when people desert to the other party. These Tea Party and hard Right evangelicals in the GOP are going to be left behind for generation of voters unless they learn to compromise.
*  I am a proud Democrat/Republican, however I promise I will listen to and consider the ideas and suggestions from my Republican/Democratic friends and colleagues with the goal to working together for the betterment of my country and its people.  How hard would it be to just do that!?

Boehner unloads on the ‘false prophets’ in his party that have made his job a nightmare
By Maxwell Tani, September 27, 2015

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) did not attempt to disguise his displeasure with the hardliners in his own caucus that claimed credit for his stunning resignation.

"Face The Nation" host John Dickerson on Sunday asked Boehner about the conservative House coalition with which Boehner was constantly feuding, and whether they had unrealistic expectations.

"Absolutely they're unrealistic!" Boehner blurted out. "But the Bible says beware of false prophets. And there are people out there spreading noise about how much can get done."

Boehner proceeded to list some of his accomplishments — including reducing the federal deficit and stopping major proposals to increase taxes. He noted that all were passed "over the last four and a half years with a Democrat president" — and that all were "voted against by my most conservative members because it wasn't good enough."

"Really? This is the part I really don't understand," he said.

One conservative member of Congress, in particular, came into Boehner's crosshairs Sunday — Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

When Dickerson asked whether Cruz was a one of the "false prophets" to whom Boehner had referred, the speaker smiled and referred to comments he made at a fundraiser in Colorado earlier this summer. There, he reportedly dismissed Cruz as a "jackass."

Cruz was one of the chief architects of the 2013 government shutdown over the Affordable Care Act, as he lobbied many conservative members of the House to oppose the legislation that funded the federal government. Boehner referred to this effort on Sunday, calling the attempt a "fool's errand." And he suggested those behind it knew they were leading a futile effort.

On Friday, Boehner announced his intention to resign from Congress at the end of October. Though he said he had been planning to step down for quite some time, many saw the timing as a bid to avert another government shutdown.

This time, House conservatives have revolted over funding for Planned Parenthood, which they are seeking to defund over a series of undercover videos detailing the organization's involvement in abortion-related fetal-tissue research.

Despite his criticism of members of his caucus, the speaker stopped short of labeling his caucus as dysfunctional.

"I wouldn't call it dysfunction," Boehner said. "Disagreement, yes."
