Luetkemeyer didn’t like challenge to Speaker Boehner

Congress gets back to work this week, with a Republican majority in both houses expected to challenge President Obama’s agenda.

It started a bit awkwardly for the GOP though, with House Speaker John Boehner having to survive a couple challenges for his job. Mid-Missouri Republican Blaine Luetkemeyer says he still supports Boehner.

“The frustrating thing to me is, if you’re going to govern, you have to govern in a united front. You can’t govern when you’re divided,” Rep. Luetkemeyer says. “When you do that, you hand the Democrats the reins of power.”

Squishes rolling over for Obama at every turn while he screws America is not “governing.”

Party first, eh bub?

Must be the GOP-E talking point of the day since I've seen this same drivel repeated from several different traitors today.

Seems like you did that when you passed that 1.1B spending bill that no one got a chance to read which funded Obama's agenda.

Yeah, well, congressman, perhaps you should consider no longer treating the base of your party, that party's platform, and the Constitution of the United States, like lepers.

Expected to challenge Obama’s agenda? Who expects that?

I wish enough republicans would tell boner he can step down or they’ll caucus with the democrats and elect Pelosi. Then they elect another one the next day.

” You can’t govern when you’re divided,” Rep. Luetkemeyer says. “When you do that, you hand the Democrats the reins of power.” and that usurps Boner’s job. He’s supposed to be the one that hands the ‘crats the reins of power.

He is my representative. We are so disappointed in his lack of leadership and rolling over for whatever Boehner tells him to vote for. And he wants to run for governor I hear. I hope not. We will not vote for him.

If it’s a united GOP front he wants, then he needs to embrace the Tea Party and all other republican conservatives.

Anything less than this is establishment elitism.

Rep. Luetkemeyer says. “When you do that, you hand the Democrats the reins of power.”

You mean like you did when you voted for the financing bill last month, taking away the budget control from the incoming Republican majority?

Seeing Boehner on TV after he was elected Speaker again was sickening SOP.

He’s grinning and saying he is looking forward to working with all the republicans in the House.

What a bald faced liar.

The first thing he did was remove all those conservative republicans that voted for someone else from any committees they were on.

He and the other sell out leftist republicans will continue to kowtow to Muslim Brotherhood influenced Obama and go along with whatever he wants.

The prevailing opinion among politicians is to not write a bill that Obama would veto.

Obama keeps saying he wants to work with republicans, but what he means is only if they write bills he wants.

There are about 300 bills sitting on Reid’s (Now McDemocrat) desk which Reid would not allow to be put up for a vote as they might pass.

I doubt the republicans want them up there either.

What a bunch of cowardly leftist tools. They don’t want to pass any bill that Obama would veto.

So what? Send hundreds of bills to his desk and force him to veto them. What a message that would send to voters.

Since when are the 2 branches of Congress dictatorships, or more accurately, Monarchies?
