The entire GOP (with the exception of Cruz) needs to go.

This Boehner has lasted too long. I’m going to see my doctor, before it’s too late.

Not surprised. The RINO-Dem Coalition is alive and well.

RINO’s are leftist sock puppets, pure and simple

It’ll pass, at least 60% of the House will support it, all the Democrats and most of the RINO’s too.

Maybe. Or maybe he’s just saying “I’m too stupid to think for myself, so I delegated it to the president.”

My local headline and one that will not make it into the press:

I intend to vote against anyone currently in office with an R behind their name.

blackmail
gotta be

no reasonable explanation for committing the US to a unilateral non-UN sanctioned act of war where no direct US interests are threatened, where intelligence about the perps and motives is murky at best, where people assuring us it was Assad are the same team of liars who are still stalling on lying to us about Benghazi, and in a such a volatile region where there are no winners, only losers and worse losers

Whatever “they” have on Boehner must be BIG. And Boehner is a SMALL man to cave in. I keep hoping the “times create the man” and he will show up one day...it is obviously not gonna’ be Boehner.

MEMO TO FORMER SPEAKER BOEHNER: Please tell me the legal basis to attack Syria at this point. It is certainly not a constitutional authorization.

So John Boehner, like the Prophet Obunghole, is for joining forces with Al-Qaeda to defeat just another rag head.

There are NO good sides to this fight. Stay the hell out of it. No matter what we do we will be hated so the best we can do is save our Troop’s lives and our money.

If killing hundreds of thousands of Kurds was not enough for our communist democrats to give Bush a pass then 1429 Syrian rag heads should not be a blip on the radar.
