Report: John Boehner Shocks at Fundraiser by What He Calls Ted Cruz: ‘I About Fell on the Floor’

Report: John Boehner Shocks at Fundraiser by What He Calls Ted Cruz: ‘I About Fell on the Floor’ Aug. 27, 2015 Speaker John Boehner shocked attendees of a Colorado fundraiser Wednesday night by referring to Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) as a “jacka**,” two people at the event told The Daily Caller.

The Ohio Republican, who has come under fire from hard-line conservatives within his party, said he was happy Cruz was campaigning for president because it keeps the “jacka**” out of Washington, The Daily Caller reported.

“I don’t think it’s terribly speaker-like, and I think it kind of goes against everything that Reagan ever said about disparaging Republicans,” attendee and president of Native Excavating Ed MacArthur told the website.

“It’s becoming very disturbing to me that we can’t have good, polite conversation,” he added. “It all has to be at the throat.”

Another individual who attended the fundraiser told The Daily Caller she was stunned to hear the speaker use such language.

In addition to the Cantor treatment, they should also be permanently banned from lobbying Congress and any federal government official or agency. Send them back to their own districts instead of enjoying the K Street lobbyist high life bribing politicians and regulators.

This from a drunk? I’m surprised he can achieve an upright stance at any time. Goes to show you what absolute gutter trash Boehner is. And how utterly STUPID his colleagues are to have chosen him TWICE for leader. What, are they in a contest to out-stupid one another?

I’m a woman, and I believe that Boehner cries more than I do.

Boehner will be remembered as the Speaker who presided when we went from being a nation to a notion.

Can we please get rid of this drunk and his cohorts?

Last election, the make-believe Constitutional Conservatives were sent the reinforcements they whined that they needed to get anything done. Their first action? Re-elect Boehner as Speaker.

Only way to get rid of him might be a Dem beating him in the election. The establishment in-control Republican leadership in OH does not represent residents. I'd guess that primarying Boehner in his own district would be difficult. Other solution....the HOR could do its job, and some smart lawyer among them could figure out a way to get him out as Speaker now.

Funny. Boehner has no balls at all. Then goes after Cruz. Boehner and Graham need to be shown for the Twinks they are.

Was Boehner drunk at the time?

Well, they said he wasn't asleep, so yes. And even if he was sleeping, probably.

There is an idiom in Italian: Scopa Nuova, scopa bene. It means a new broom sweeps clean. Hopefully if Donald, or Cruz, or another out of the “mainstream” GOP candidate wins, they do it.

Starting with the weeping cheeto, and moving down to dethrown that POS McGoo in the senate. In fact, it is time to start a removal program right now. A house GOP person should point out there would be no Donald Trump candidate had the Cryor of the House not tried to run the conservatives right out of the place. He has wasted an entire motivated electorate whom wanted CONSERVATIVE change.
He has kowtowed to the left and especially the tanned wonderful one in the white hut.

Meanwhile, the George Wil like leader in the Senate, Mr. MaGoo, has been equally responsible but unfortunately thanks to the not so smart GOPers in Ky he is there for awhile longer.

So, while we wait for the presidential election which hopefully moves a person with our values into the office, we need begin by getting the Cheeto out of the Speaker’s role.
Even if not removed, a good scare may cause him to come around. Once the ball begins rolling, it will gather momentum and could sweep the place clean of most all the vermin blood suckers up there if they fear there is going to be a new sheriff in town.

Why Does John Boner Hate Hispanics/Latinos?

This would be the headline on countless MSM articles were Boner not the best GOP Speaker the DemoncRATS ever had.

For some reason, it seems the ones like Boner tend to get to be Speaker. There are some exceptions, although not many.

Yes, but when the taxpayers are paying for it, nothing’s too good for Johnny. At least according to Johnny.
