Should John Boehner be the Speaker of the House?
Canada Free Press ^ | 01/04/15 | James Lampe

Speaker Boehner's non-confrontational attitude is enabling President Obama to implement his socialist policies and regal fiats without any Congressional restraints

As Speaker of the House and leader of the House Republicans, John Boehner promised he would fight Obama’s Executive Order on immigration “tooth and nail.” Yet, soon thereafter, he strong-armed Republicans to push Cromnibus through the House of Representatives to fund Obamacare and Obama’s amnesty. A few items funded by the Cromnibus are shown below to give you a taste of how spending is done under the direction of John Boehner.

Since spending bills originate in the House of Representatives, the Speaker of the House has a lot of control over spending.

Although Mr. Boehner had a 33-vote majority (201 to 234) in the last congressional session, he was loath to confront Democrats on any issue ever since the MSM blamed Republicans for an October 2013 government shutdown. (Despite the fact that the GOP won big in the next election!)

Boehner is only qualified to have his picture on the label for Quaker Oats. He's not good for anything else.

In a sane world, absolutely not.

The key part of that is "sane".

He knocked out a GOP congressman named Donald “Buz” Lukens who was involved in a sex scandal with a young girl, who may have been as young as 13 when he started “doing” her.

Boehner was in the Ohio House of Representatives at the time (1990). Boehner challenged Lukens in the primary and beat him. Winning the primary was tantamount to winning the general.

Once in Congress, Boehner became a member of the so-called “Gang of Seven” (along with six members who are no longer in Congress) who broke the House Bank scandal, and kept going to the floor during special orders speeches to bring out details and to denounce it (this had a lot to do with the GOP winning both houses of Congress in 1994).

Boehner made his great leap to power in early 2006 when he knocked off the establishment choice, Roy Blunt (now a senator from Missouri), for majority leader (replacing Tom DeLay) (Denny Hastert was the Speaker at the time). Boehner became the leader of the GOP after Hastert declined to run for minority leader in the 110th Congress (2007-09).

It doesn’t look like he’s done anything since 2007. It is 2015.

CAESAR:"Et tu, Brute?" "[And you, too, Brutus"?] Caesar calling out to Brutus as his friend Brutus and other Roman Senators suddenly and repeatedly began stabbing Caesar to death.

VOTERS WHO VOTED FOR REPUBLICANS THIS MIDTERM: "Et tu, Boehner?" Referring to how Speaker Boehner betrayed and stabbed midterm Republican voters in the back with his passage of the recent traitorous spending bill.

BOEHNER: Who is Judas? Why do people keep calling me Judas as I walk down the street? Why did someone recently leave 30 pieces of silver on my doorstep? I only want what is best for America. As my new secret friend Obama likes to say: "It was the right thing to do.God bless America!"
