If he had anything to do with the loss of the greatest Representative in our life time, then I would get banned for saying what I am thinking.
Why would he. If u remember West was Boneheads hatchet man in twisting
arms on new house members to vote for the debt increase.
You know that deal. The one the GOP passed and are now
complaining about because of the automatic cuts it contains.
My question to the GOP is... If u don’t like it now, why did u like it then?
Boehner did something similar to conservative Rep Steve Austria in SW Ohio. After this week, I’m really sick of him.
Remember ... deals are made on the golf course.
Much of the South Florida “republican establishment” was hostile to LTC West from the moment he announced his interest in running.
The Rinos are having a little fun with the Tea Party types like myself. I’m just about done with voting for the buttoned up, country club, Republican. I’m fed up with the words of Boehner because his actions don’t match.
I’m sure he did. You know what? Maybe the GOPe wants us out of the Party as much as we want them out. Kinda like the Democrat internal battle between the DLC and the DNC.
I keep expecting boner to become a democrat any day now
Isn’t redistricting a state function ?
Can we blame Boehner for Natural disasters too, or perhaps national obesity or the passing of marijuana laws out west....
Some people here think Boehner has alot of power, the Speaker is god-like ?
Boehner is simply the head Judenrat stooge of the MarxoFascists.
Conservatives have been targeted for a Final Solution and the GOP is the mechanism the Marxists will use to make our ‘handling’..... acceptable.
In 2010, Florida voters approved two anti-gerrymandering amendments to the state constitution. West’s district, which was the most heavily gerrymandered in the state, was redrawn and was no long viable for a Republican to win. The new provisions of the state constitution virtually required this result. West therefore ran in 2012 in a nearby district.
Probably.
Florida GOP got greedy. Wanted to preserve all incumbents PLUS win the two new seats. So, they thinned Republican strength in many places (most particularly, they thinned Republican strength in West’s district). Wound up taking one of the two new seats, but lost three old ones. Overall, went from 19-6 margin to 17-10. Lesson: Thin pigs get fed. Fat pigs get slaughtered.
