Boehner is YOUR guy. He is a morally and legally corruptocrat in GOP drag who lives for the good old boy, go along get along, and, above all be paid off by every useless special interest to get nothing done. He will NEVER be my guy. Be a lot more careful in including me in any "we" with you.
If I complained about a Steve King or a Connie Mack, I would be complaining like a liberal. Boehner is again what YOU have. Congratulations on nothing and on selling out this country and the conservative movement in favor of a political stumblebum like Boehner. Defending Boehner is being a liberal whiner willing to take any mess of pottage and turn away any actual opportunity in order to go along and get along. You are also defending Boehner 's craven methods of demanding that newly elected members piss all over the voters who elected them and the promises they have made. Don't you ever complain about broken promises here if you are willing to defend this slime.
After Pearl Harbor, Admiral Husband Kimmel (commander there on 12/7/41) was NOT part of the victorious team of the post-Pearl Harbor Navy. Since Boehner is probably less of a Congressthing than Kimmel was a naval officer and more of a disaster, we don't have to go to war with him. If he really must continue in Congress, he should formally join the corruptocrat caucus and stop embarrassing the GOP by pretending to be Republican. He can even have a good cry as he leaves.
What divides the right is the spinelessness of the habitual losers who will take absolutely ANYTHING, however trivial, and bring out the oompah bands to celebrate another rank capitulation to the enemies of the movement and the country. The liberals cannot divide the right. Only those who pose as conservatives while acting as fifth columnists can do that. My generation spent sixteen years from 1964 relentlessly working to elect Ronaldus Maximus as POTUS. We did not do that by making believe that the ruling class jerks like Gerald Ford or Richard Nixon or Lowell Weicker or Jacob Javits or Judas Jeffords or Robert Stafford or Ed Brooke or John Lindsay (Look, Muffy, a REPUBLICAN mayor of New York and one of US!!!) were worthy of any respect whatsoever much less to be followed as though they were leaders.
The rules of the game are that money bills must constitutionally be initiated in the House. The Demonrats can do it our way and cut Comrade O's allowance severely and immediately or they can fry ice. No more sellouts. No more whores as GOP leaders. No more TARPs. No more bailouts. No more "Too big to fail." No more golfing with Hussein. No more of GOP leaders putting their lips on autosmooch for Hussein's butt.
I have no idea what NRA may have done as to Harry Reid. Nor do I care what an organization capable of choosing David Keene (who makes Boehner look honest and principled) as its president may have done. This would not be the first time in history that the NRA is run by accommodationists. Charlton Heston had to drive the money changers from the temple in ears past. The NRA has a faction that would like to make it an environmentalist outfit or to stress hunting as opposed to personal defense. There are others who take the traditional gun rights position without apology. Gun Owners of America and the Second Amendment Foundation and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms do not have environmentalist whacko factions diluting the message. NRA often endorses outright bad candidates based upon either their view of "electability" or a focus on selected gun votes only (geared to justify supporting favorites regardless of ideology). Ummmm, one does not expect the AFL-CIO to endorse Marco Rubio which would be parallel behavior on the left.
I don't want to protest the game. I want to recognize that it is no game. It is the future of the USA and of Western Civilization. I want to see the GOP purged of liberals, "moderates," whores and corruptocrats in GOP drag and a newly purposeful GOP destroy the Demonrat Party by getting the respect of the electorate the old fashioned way by EARNING IT! You, OTOH, are sooooo "cunning" as to give Hussein, Reid, Pelousy, Schmucky Chewmer, et al. 98% of what they want, get virtually nothing for the conservative side and be running around with the high fives for Weepy Boehner as somehow "brilliant!" May God protect us from the delusions of the "cunning!"
As far as sitting behind my keyboard, I'll match resumes with you anytime. I was a Reagan state chairman when he challenged Feckless Loser Ford (John Boehner's linear political ancestor in the Let's Make a Deal faction of the alleged GOP). I was a Congressional nominee at 27 years of age and did better than any non-incumbent Republican in my state and did it on a tiny campaign fund with a surplus in a district held for two years by a Republican since 1958. I was a volunteer attorney for 1100 people arrested occupying abortion mills and desterilizing their instruments, actually saving babies while the Boehners snicker up their sleeves on pro-life issues or sniffle on TV when merely criticized. 30 of 1100 were convicted of anything, mostly of equivalents of parking tickets having been arrested on felony charges I was also a volunteer attorney for arrested NRA members, none of whom were convicted of anything. Those are a few achievements and there are a lot more where they came from. Whatcha got?
Yes, you are a legend in your own mind.
But, I notice that you are one who lost every battle you put on your resume. Nice track record.
Its too bad you can't learn from your past. Your principles are fine and true, but unless you win battles, they are worthless.
Since you don't win battles, this conversation is over. I am looking for ways to win short-term battles, not for ways to be "pure" and cede ground to the enemy as they win the war.
