WASHINGTON (CNN) – As the Republican Party struggles to right itself after being caught up in rough political seas, House Minority Leader John Boehner said Sunday a slew of recent and sometimes controversial comments and media appearances by a trio of high-profile Republicans is helping his struggling party.

“Having these voices out there, it doesn’t hurt us, it helps us,” Boehner told CNN’s John King on State of the Union when asked about former Vice President Dick Cheney, former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich, and conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh.

“If we’re going to show the American people that we’ve got a better way forward, having a chorus of voices out there, I think is helpful to our effort,” added the Ohio Republican.

And in other news, I wonder what in God's name Boner is smoking these days.

1. The repubs take their cues from....

A draft dodger, a drug addict, and a man whose been married multiple times! How big of a hypocrite do you have to be in order to be a republican?

[truthisfreedom]

11. The druggie, the draft dodger, and the adulterer. A trio of fine values. What a trifecta of fail.

Bring it on.

[Turbineguy]

2. Let me finish that for you, Mister Boner:

"stabbing a dead man causes him no pain."

[KamaAina]

3. Boner hurting GOP even worse than those other three, KamaAina says

:P

5. I wonder if that unearthly color is some sort

of toxicity. Maybe it's like mercury poisoning and you go really crazy before you die. Maybe this is the go really crazy part. He does seem to be writhing.

[pscot]

13. He's one big nicotine stain

:evilgrin:

[OHDEM]

6. What did he say about himself? nt

[jimshoes]

7. Beta carrotine from the color of his

hide. :)

[Hulk]

8. Nothing left but disgrace and shame.....the gop is dead, but not gone.

With such spokespersons as those listed above.....what kind of party has this become? Shameless, slime throwing, despicable low life's. boner is no different. What a worthless sack of shit.

I have had more respect for the Republican Party of yesterday. All that is left today are these sleaze-bags and sour grapes.

I hope a new party can arise from the ashes. Dump all this right wing nutcake-iness, and go back to "fiscal responsibility", local control, smaller federal government. I could at least see that as a goal. All that is left is factions of the nutcakes. Pathetic...simply pathetic.

[neverforget]

9. The Triumvirate of Evil lives on

[Arugula Latte]

10. You keep telling yourself that, Boner.

[Arkana]

12. As long as they think this they'll continue to drift.

It's that simple.

[emulatorloo]

14. What a good puppy! Oh what a gooood boy! Do you want a cookie? n/t

[No Elephants]

15. Inasmuch as Boehner is totally objective, I'm going to have to take this very seriously.

:rofl:

[louis-t]

16. Another part of their delusions of grandeur is

their belief in their own omnipotence.

[Missy Vixen]

17. Please keep aligning yourself with these political Hindenburgs, Boehner

Oh, gosh, silly me! You're a political Hindenburg as well, aren't you?

:rofl:

[Solly Mack]

18. They don't - not really. Those 3 are saying exactly what the die-hards want to hear

It keeps them riled up and angry. It keeps the GOP talking points in the news. It serves the purpose of being the "opposition party"...

I know some want to go ahead and place the tombstone on the GOP grave - but I haven't seen the body yet.

[MrScorpio]

19. That seals it: They're masochists

[goforit]

20. If Boehner is right.....then we have a serious mental sickness in this country.

[DFW]

24. He is and we do

When they had a lock on power, anyone in their party not acting like a robotic supporter was suspect.

Now, suddenly, Bonehead is praising diversity like he was Jesse Jackson.

What we have here is a failure to be consistent.

[bemildred]

21. Bring it on. nt

[GoldenOldie]

22. Can't hurt the dead

[bemildred]

23. Indeed. Just in case anybody forgets why, exactly, they voted for Obama.

These weasels will remind them.

25. Proof positive tanning beds are bad for you.

The rays must have seeped through to his brain.
