The ‘Donald Trump Show,’ courtesy of Boehner and McConnell

The Hill ^ | September 10, 2015 | By former Rep. David McIntosh (R-Ind.)

Yea but remember that electing principled people is the problem. Those snakes just happened to magically appear in DC without any ‘staunch conservatives’ ever having elected them.

Like magic. Pragmatically.

I can't comment on the 100% capitulation rate because I really don't know. I do know that I have little confidence in Boehner and McConnell. They even look like pussies.

However, this division within the Republican party is nothing new. It has existed since at least the 1940s.

[Lurkinanloomin]

Every House member is up every two years. The founders thought that would ensure that the people could keep a short leash on the representatives.
It hasn’t been working that way.
We voters of VA-7 showed the country that a sitting Majority Leader can be booted from office if he is a weasel and about to betray the citizens on amnesty.

Term limits are in the hands of the voters if they have the courage to use them.

[VideoDoctor]

I'm still waiting for Trump to go after Boehner and McConnell.

I'm assuming that as "smart" as the Trump machine has been so far that it will save chainsawing these two BIGGER and MORE HATED political fools to the ground when Trump's team gives the signal to ELEVATE the confrontation to the next level.

Obamacare funding
Arming Terrorists
Giving Iran nukes
Planned Parenthood funding
Abandoning traditional marraige
Abandoning Immigration enforcement
No prosecution on Holder
No prosecution on Lerner
Repeated dog and pony shows by Issa and Gowdy on FF/Bhenghazi

Need I continue?

ONE of the above is grounds to primary every GOP pol. ONE.

100% capitulation while in control of 2 out of 3 branches of govt.

[alloysteel]

It is as if Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid were still in their former positions as Speaker and Senate Majority Leader, regarding any effort to unravel the existing Obamacare or treaty misrepresentations. The deal with Iran WAS a treaty, by any honest definition, and as such, had to win approval of the Senate, not by a mere majority, but a supermajority.

A supermajority that had about three chances of being achieved - fat, slim, and none at all.

[Calpublican]

When sitting legislators come home with their lobbyist booty, it’s very hard to run against them.

This is one of the reasons the voters may not exercise properly their term limit opportunity.

Boehner has been bought and paid for by the best lobbyists in DC

Boehner’s mafia-like tactics are used to gain support for bills that ultimately enable Obama instead of stopping the unconstitutional behavior of this regime. American’s have been demanding that representatives stop Obama. Recall that it was Boehner who took impeachment off the table. Boehner’s lap dogs attempt to make a case for Boehner’s success with the claim that Boehner has passed more bills than any other Congress in history—mostly bills that support Obama’s agenda thus Liberal media is also supportive of Boehner. However, most Americans understand the principles of our constitutional founding, and thus understand that the success of Congress is NOT measured by how many bills Congress can pass… but rather by how many bills they can prevent and block—the slow percolation of legislation.(Click For More)

From the day he arrived, Boehner made it clear that out lobbyists wouldn’t get past his receptionists until we wrote out checks for the maximum amounts allowed and that if we wanted consideration for our legisaltive initiatives, those checks had better keep coming.

He demanded invitations to Realtor conventions at locations where he could play golf. Boehner cares more for golf than he does for the needs of his constituents. In 2009, his campaign fund spent $82,998 for golf outings for himself and his cronies.(Click For More)

A September 2010 New York Times story said Boehner was "Tightly Bound to Lobbyists" and "He maintains especially tight ties with a circle of lobbyists and former aides representing some of the nation’s biggest businesses, including Goldman Sachs, Google, Citigroup, R.J. Reynolds, MillerCoors and UPS.".(Click For More)

John Boehner will be the new Speaker of the House. Boehner is a corrupt, votes for sale, old-school politician. He doesn’t give a damn about the people who elected him to office. All he cares about are the fat-cat lobbyists who deliver the big Political Action Committee Checks.(Click For More)

In June 1995, Boehner distributed campaign contributions from tobacco industry lobbyists on the House floor as House members were weighing how to vote on tobacco subsidies. In a 1996 documentary by PBS called The People and the Power Game, Boehner said "They asked me to give out a half dozen checks quickly before we got to the end of the month and I complied. And I did it on the House floor, which I regret. I should not have done. It's not a violation of the House rules, but it's a practice that‘s gone on here for a long time that we're trying to stop and I know I'll never do it again."(Click For More)

Boehner sobs when others are celebrating. It’s something deeper: Boehner cries for Boehner. In 2010, for instance, Boehner cried because he won an award from the anti-abortion group Americans United for Life. In exactly the same way he cried about not being able to see kids at school because he longs for them to achieve the American dream like he did, Boehner’s reaction to the award was purely narcissistic: He seemed to be crying about his own childhood and the pain he felt in his own youth, not for the constituency that gave him the award: “I have 11 brothers and sisters,” he blubbered, “I know it wasn’t convenient for my mom to have 12 of us, but I’m sure glad they’re all here.”(Read more Here)

I have emails concerning Boehner's crying. I am trying to find a source to verify those. It is said that Boehner has been coached. He has been given "acting lessons" as it were. His "crying" is as phoney as everything else he does.

JOHN BOEHNER: The Very Best DemocRAT Speaker Ever!

[Norm Lenhart]

See thats the thing. There is no difference at the end of the day. Does it really matter that they showvote? No. They come to the exact end Harry and Nancy do without the billions spent on propagandizing America over this stuff.

And when a ‘conservative’ backs that with a vote, they are only directly backing Obama. There is no wiggle room.

Maybe.

But Trump is supposed to be somebody who doesn't pull any punches.

Big deal he goes after a third rate candidates face.

Dave Brat defeated Eric Cantor even though he was outspent 20-1.

[”Reelected AFTER campaigning on working WITH Obama”]

The people of Kentucky may see the light now after the last 8 months, but he doesn’t care. He’s 73. He’ll die in this term or retire at the end of it—rich and self-satisfied.

I do not believe he understands he is one of the most hated men in America—and deservedly so.

[Calpublican]

Not the norm. People were engaged for a change.

[chris37]

Oh yes, I understand what you mean. It’s a result of the staunch conservatives electing the “lesser of two evils”.

But it appears to me, since the 2014 election specifically, that the lesser of two evils has, in fact, actually been the greater of two evils, and either way all we have done is increase the sum total of evil, because there is no such thing as lesser or greater evil.

There is only evil. To qualify evil is a mistake.

This is why I am personally having trouble with those who are saying we have to elect a proven conservative.

There is no such thing.

And the practical result of our conservative litmus tests in the past has been zero victories for good, and all victories for evil.

It really sucks to wake up and find that those whom you thought were your friends were your enemies all along, and that every thing they told you was lies, and that all you thought was real was fake.

All eyes that are paying attention are open; unfortunately, a lot of the voting public are more interested in NFL and Dancing with the Stars to care - too much trouble.

“But it appears to me, since the 2014 election specifically, that the lesser of two evils has, in fact, actually been the greater of two evils, and either way all we have done is increase the sum total of evil, because there is no such thing as lesser or greater evil.”

You know when you put it like that it rings a bell. Seems that there were some folks on FR that predicted exactly that...

How odd. I just can’t seem to remember their names... But just today in fact one guy was still calling them a kook for being right. That happened a lot though...

;)

[Norm Lenhart]

All we can do is vote for what we believe in. We can never know ‘if’ someone good will turn but electing those we know are human garbage ‘will’ result in a bad outcome. No exceptions. Ever..

RECALLED is not what I would think of for what needs to be done with Boehner and McConnell.

If elected Trump will most likely be working ‘with” a heavily Democrat House and Senate. Who would vote for Republicans after the last two elections? Elections, at least elections to Congress, have NO effect. If there were only 10 Democrat House members and 5 Democrat Senators, Hussein would still be getting everything he wants and just as easily. By the next election the makeup of the Congress will matter even less because Congress has given over its substantial powers to the President. In 2016 we will be electing a Dictator and it will 90% likely be whatever Democrat wins the D Nomination. The Republican will have to get at least 2/3 of the legitimate vote to break even in the counted votes.
