John Boehner: “The Honorable Thomas S. Foley, former Speaker of the House of Representatives, died on October 18, 2013.”

Even though I didn`t really want to go the direction where the team`s gone, they were the ones who elected me to be the leader, and I had an obligation to go lead them.

The modern Republican Party is filled with, as John Boehner put it, people who spend more time tearing things apart than actually building anything.

This bill is the greatest threat to freedom that I have seen in the 19 years I have been here in Washington.

You will never know where you will end up. That`s freedom.
