I want to support John Boehner in any way that I can, but we need to be pragmatic.

I think that our leadership, Mitch McConnell and John Boehner, are taking the right approach.

John Boehner is a friend.

There's one thing to say about John Boehner. He's a fighter. He does fight. And if there is somebody you want in the foxhole with you, it's going to be John Boehner.

After hearing from my colleagues, I have decided to run for Speaker of the House. Let's work together to make a difference for our country.

John Boehner was and is an unprincipled ward-heeler who simply couldn't weather the transition of the Republican Party from a corporatist party with a sizable conservative base to a purely conservative party.

I look forward to standing shoulder to shoulder with Speaker Boehner, Leader Cantor, Whip McCarthy and the entire republican conference as we repeal Obamacare, fight rampant job killing regulations, cut spending and help put folks back to work.

Being Speaker of the House is a really tough spot.

Let me just say that while I personally am very fond of John Boehner, his record of predicting what would happen if certain policies, economic policies were instituted is abysmal, okay?
