Following the [[2010 Midterm Elections|2010 congressional elections]] Republicans gained control of the [[U.S. House of Representatives]] from the [[Democrat]]s. Boehner had a strongly [[conservative]] voting record on all major issues, and his successes had been interpreted as a watershed moment in the revival of American conservatism. However, like many others who came before him, Boehner has recently showed signs of abandoning his principles and constituents in favor of "bipartisan compromise," which, of course, means caving to the demands of liberals. One such prominent issue on which he has done this is with the so-called "fiscal cliff" that will supposedly occur at the end of 2012. True conservatives such as [[Mark Levin]] have called Boehner out for this and for punishing Republicans who refuse to compromise and thus break their promises to their constituents.<ref>[http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2012/12/04/mark_levin_rips_boehner_who_the_hell_does_he_think_he_is.html Mark Levin Rips Boehner: Who The Hell Does He Think He Is?], [[Real Clear Politics]]</ref>

As shown below, Boehner also has a major problem with using profanity repeatedly in public.
