Adios, John Boehner

He should have quit a long time ago.  He couldn’t keep the crazies in the House in line, he permitted useless activities like the 42 attempts to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and I can’t think of a single positive thing he did for the country in his years as Speaker except quit.

It will be interesting to see who the Republicans pick now.  Whomever it is will be in charge of a group of men and women who see government as a negative force.  It makes you wonder why they ran for office.

They will probably vote to shut down the federal government as a protest against Planned Parenthood, even though no federal money can be used to pay for abortions.  Let me repeat that: no federal money can be used to pay for abortions.  They be willing to deny reproductive health services to millions of low income women to make some mistaken point.  


No wonder Boehner quit.
