PING!
I notice there are no signators from the US Chamber of Commerce.
Edwin Meese III... reminds me of what Reagan might say about today’s republican party.
....And just what are they gonna REALLY do about it?
Boner will reply: “I won”.
Why isn’t Jim on that list?
Because we here at Free Republic say, “FUJB!”
This poster wholeheartedly agrees with Jim.
Boehner has huffing and puffing, and threatening to blow Obama, but not until he does everything he can to destroy conservatives, and get them out of his way.
.
who is Devin Nunes and how do we kick him out of the country?
Boehner values his ties to the Democrats more than he does conservative legislators in his own party.
Notice how these political scumbags like Boehner are tougher on conservatives than they are on democrats and others working to destroy the country?
Mixed feelings on this one. I’m certainly not a fan of Boehner, and wish there had been enough votes to force the second vote and/or oust him.
That said, I also think if you’re going to try to oust your leader, you’d better be prepared for the consequences if you fail.
Imagine if you were a county sheriff, and one of your senior deputies came out to support the other guy against your re-election campaign. Ditto if some close corporate ally turned rival tried to oust you as CEO of a company. Who in their right mind would willingly put that deputy/rival/etc back in a position of trust and confidence? I sure wouldn’t. It would earn no respect from your opponents, and it would also be seen as a sign of weakness, further undermining one’s position.
Boehner is a squish, a RINO, and a disconcerting shade of orange, but I don’t think he’s a fool. You Play, You Pay. It all comes down to that, IMHO.
You all may now begin flaming me, as I am sure it’s coming, LOL.
My rep, Luke Messer, was rewarded for his loyalty to Boner with the position of GOP policy committee chairman.
We Hoosiers have memories like elephants.
> “We’re going to have a family conversation,” Boehner said at a Wednesday press conference. “Which we had this morning about bringing our team together. And I expect that those conversations over the next couple of days will continue.”
Boehner has no excuse for ramming through more than a trillion dollars of funding in a LAME-DUCK session.
He could have easily introduced a short stopgap measure that would allow the New congress to get seated before taking up the budget. But Boehner took away their rightful responsibility and rammed more than 1600 pages of legislation through in 2 days.
THERE IS NO EXCUSE, NOT ONE FOR WHAT BOEHNER DID!
At the least, Dear Mr. Boehner, start worrying about the treacherousness of Democrats before worrying about it from Republicans. The opponents didn’t vote for Nancy; they voted for a different Republican. A sensible response would be “I hear you.”
Got a call today from NRA wanting money...
They started by asking my opinion of which was more feared:
1. Barack Obama’s amnesty actions
2. Hillary Clinton getting into the white house.
I responded by saying “Republicans in congress who will do nothing to stand up to an unconstitutional president!
If republicans cannot un-seat a sell-out traitor RINO leader like Boehner, our goose is cooked... and it doesn’t matter who is in the white house.
I then asked “What in the hell does Obama have to do to get impeached???”
Republicans can impeach Clinton for Oral-Office favors, but they cannot impeach Obama for subverting the law???
What happens to this country is not Obama’s fault... its ours... and Boehner is leading the charge into collapse while our representatives plead with him not to punish them for dissenting????
Give me a break!
A basic political principle is not to defecate in one’s own nest. Another is just because you can doesn’t mean that you should. Boehner is going to need the votes and support of the guys he’s crapping on. Yes, he can, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.
The cryin squishy Cheeto must feel the heat.
Kabuki theatre by the DNC-run Obama-controlled
criminal-enabling GOP.
