Conservatives bite back at House GOP leadership over purge (Boehner channels Stalin)
Wash Post ^ | 12/5/12 | Rachel Weiner

Posted on 12/05/2012 10:33:44 AM PST by jimbo123

Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) took a public shot at House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) Tuesday night, in the wake of a shake-up that knocked a small group of conservatives off prominent committees.

Justin Amash ✔ @repjustinamash Still waiting for call from GOP leadership. Are they too embarrassed to explain they booted me for working to reduce debt? 4 Dec 12 ReplyRetweetFavorite

Amash, a libertarian-leaning conservative, was taken off the House Budget Committee. Tea party-backed Rep. Tim Huelskamp (Kan.) was taken off Budget and Agriculture. Reps. Walter Jones (N.C.), a rare moderate, and David Schweikert (Ariz.) lost their spots on the Financial Services Committee. Amash, Huelskamp and Schweikert were all first elected in the 2010 Republican wave.

You are crazy, you still equate Stalin and Boehner. Shame on you!!! I have far more respect for Boehner now than you kooks here on FR. Too bad you don’t understand what you’re doing. Stalin terrorized and killed millions!!

My husband and I have come to the conclusion that Republicans, through Boehner, will do absolutely nothing but cave to the Dems because they are all on the same team and that team is opposing us - we the people. Want proof? Ask yourself why the Republicans never used any of the ammunition Obama gave them, against him. There was a treasure trove of sound bites, executive orders and crony capitalism that could have been aired with proof positive of its truth and not an iota of it was used.

*************************************

There have been times during the past four years that I have speculated about this as well.

Already told you where to find your answer.

Now, again: How many times has Boehner completely caved to Obama?

I checked through some of their voting record - which is probably more than you have done (I’ll bet somebody told you how they voted on one or two things and you formed your opinion of their entre voting record from that) - and of the 40 or 50 votes I reviewed for each, I found nothing alarming - I saw consistent, principled records. Would I have voted exactly the same, probably not exactly, but pretty darn close.

So again, deary, I ask you - which of their votes has your dander up? Or are you just reflexively protecting boehner?

“Extremists”?
You sure like using leftist terminology there.

Say, don’t you post over at TBL?

Boehner should have been primaried out of there earlier this year, as a message to the rest.

Please point out to me where I equated Stalln and Boehner.

Before calling anybody crazy, you best remove the loco-gleam in your own eyes.

If it walks like a duck.....

It's the only explanation for the total inaction on the GOP's part. It also explains why Boehner just garroted the conservatism and why Allen West was redistricted to oblivion.

Asking again either because you don’t want to answer or you CAN’T: How many times has Boehner completely caved to Obama?

Boehner is preparing for life as a lobbyist. He won’t run for re-election after he goes through with his special deal with Obama.

No, I don't even know what TBL is. Thanks for the photo, it makes me want to cry. Yes, anyone who would liken Boehner to Stalin is an extremist and not to be taken seriously.

I remember exactly where I was the moment I heard that Stalin died. I knew the horrors of Communism, I knew the horror of Stalin even though I was thousands of miles away. I do not take this accusation of Boehner being like Stalin lightly. Someone owes Boehner a huge apology but it will never come.

West was both redistricted and vote frauded out.
A deal has been made, that is obvious.

Boehner does not vote on most tthngs - brave stance there. But he DID vote to raise the debt ceiling and he also voted for the balanced budget amendment.

So - he drags his sorry behind to the voting machine to cast a vote to balance the budget and another one to allow the government to borrow more money to...wait for it...it’s coming...SPEND!!!

Now - what votes of the outcasts are you so twitterpated about???

I didn’t post the photo.

Check again.

“Someone owes Boehner a huge apology but it will never come.”

Boehner will cave to Obama yet again because that is all he does.
He needs to apologize to us and then he can go to hell with the rest of the Rino squishes.
He does not deserve an apology at all.

GilesB answered your question as to why Stalin was mentioend.
Any thoughts on that?
Or are you just going to keep excusing Rino Boehner and calling us extremists?

She ain’t answering that question because she can’t, which makes her intellectually dishonest and not to be taken seriously.

Leave her alone.
