Web Log Purpose

A web log based on the principle that a civilized society deserves democratic government based on integrity. The premise here is the U.S. democracy has effectively been subverted by oligarchical forces which must be opposed with facts and rational thought. (An RSS feed is recommended.)

The Fire Boehner Project

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has just announced the Fire Boehner Project.  The timing is excellent as Congress is vastly unpopular and its peripatetic Speaker with it.  How America suffers when its leaders are poor!

Just how is Boehner a poor Speaker?  First, he does not represent the aspirations of a deeply disappointed and worried citizenry. Second, he hardly attempts to lead the entire House.  And third, he has trouble unifying his own party.

Is it possible, just possible, this is the worst Speaker in U.S. history?  Which other Speaker would challenge Mr. Boehner for this unedifying distinction?
