We used to have reasonable and more or less honorable Republicans in New England. Certainly fewer bat shit crazy ones. Reagan Era started to process of driving them out of the party and Dick Cheney chased the last few out.
There were a few from the Midwest, I think, too. My own state of Warshington produced a fellow named Dan Evans (R) who was a damn good governor, and a good (sadly, one term) senator.
My mom always used to say that Richard Lugar was the only Republican she ever voted for. So naturally he was driven out of the party, sometime between the Tea Party and the Insurrection.
When we think of our 50th vote in the Senate everyone defaults to Joe fuckin' Manchin, Democrat from West Virginia. In truth its Angus King, Independent from Maine and the former Republican Governor of that state.
I'd like to see him kick Joe Manchin's thirsty ass, frankly (with votes, I guess).
The last sane Republicans that I can recall were Jerry Ford and Nelson Rockefeller.
Boehner can get bent. I don't give two shits about anything he has to say. Ever.

Lowell Weicker. John Danforth. Locally, John Dunne. But yeah, that doesn’t change your point.

Fuck Boehner as a politician, but I still think he'd be fun to get drunk with.

He likes to golf too. Probably has won several quarters.
Exactly how John Boehner avoided becoming a porno star is the real story nobody will talk about.
