The trashing of Boehner. He is a good solid conservative. It may be better to have someone else in that role, but calling him Boner and the like and trying to trash him is immature and incorrect. He blew it on a big vote. Most of his career though he had been a solid as a rock conservative. I’m sick of Conservatives jumping on the bash the conservative bandwagon. It only discourages good folks from ever running.

Correct.

Boehner has voted uprightly on a whole host of issues for years.

He doesn't deserve this ugly treatment.

I thought the same of Hastert also and was disgusted by the right's treatment of that man.

I think that is why we lost in 08.. I think a lot of good candidates wanted to run, but most of them are not “pure” enough according to some folks..

I'm sorry. The bailout vote was a litmus test. Boehner's not a fiscal conservative, he's just another politician. Go ahead and waste your time letting him know what you think. He'll just stick his finger in the wind and do whatever he thinks he needs to do to get elected again.
