A new effort to remove Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) as Speaker of the House is reportedly making the rounds of Congress again. The House Freedom Caucus, which is about 40 members strong, is demanding more fortitude from their House speaker to fight the battles they believe voters entrusted them with when they rewarded them a sweeping GOP victory last November.
One of those battles is defunding Planned Parenthood. After the Center for Medical Progress exposed the pro-abortion organization in a shocking investigation into its inhumane practices, defunding became a top priority for hill conservatives. So much so that the group is willing to shut down the government to ensure the organization doesnt receive any more taxpayer dollars.
Given the appalling revelations surrounding Planned Parenthood, we cannot in good moral conscience vote to send taxpayer money to this organization while still fulfilling our duty to represent our constituents. We must therefore oppose any spending measure that contains funding for Planned Parenthood.
This is non-negotiable, conservatives warn Boehner, insisting they wont accept any spending bill that includes even one dollar for Planned Parenthood.
Now, however, some representatives in Boehners inner circle are dismissing the Freedom Caucuss efforts as showmanship:

What kind of “man” clings to power in the face of endless calls for him to simply hand the speakership off to someone else.

“Exasperated”? He’ll have plenty of time for exasperation once he’s been booted out.

Don’t worry. Boehner will fill up the spending bill with more pork and government largess to gather Dem votes.
Traitor.

I get 4 or 5 calls a week for donations from various factions of the Republican Party wanting money. Every time I tell them that I will not donate one red cent until Boehner and McCoonell are not leaders in Washington.

Not nearly as exasperated as those who foolishly depended on his “leadership.”

I don’t want him to simply hand off the speakership to someone else.
I want him to hand it off to a person who will do what we elected their majority to do.
For instance, installing McCarthy as speaker means nothing to me. In fact, it’s a slap in the face.
The GOPE is going to learn, one way or the other, that Americans are done with them.

Boehner IS The Best Alcoholic On Capitol Hill!

Hes also a closet chain-smoker, fond of the Barclays brand, rumored to be able to suck half a pack down in a matter of minutes if given a proper recess.
The son of a bar owner, Boehner worked alongside his father mopping the floors at Andys Café when he was in elementary school. Perhaps thats where he first developed his taste for booze, but today, Congressman Boehner resembles a modern day Dean Martin of sorts, even leading a social life the legendary crooner would envy.
Hes made a name for himself with his legendary late-night parties which he first began throwing at the 1996 Republican National Convention. Nicknamed the Best Little Warehouse party, Boehner, (along with Bruce Gates, a tax lobbyist with Washington Council Ernst & Young and head of Mr. Boehners Freedom Project PAC and prominent lobbyist Henry Gandy) are known for throwing a party at the RNC that runs multiple days, often lasts until dawn and exceeds $100,000.
When Boehner replaced Tom Delay and was elected as Majority Leader back in 2006, disclosure reports filed with the FEC show that Boehner (or his representatives), spent $1,465 at the classy liquor store Schneiders of Capitol Hill on February 3rd, the very next day after he was elected as leader. Clearly a celebration was in order. The bill was paid by Boehners slush fund, errr leadership PAC, The Freedom Project.
At the Convention, Boehner gave two awkward, drunken speeches that were embarrassing, somewhat uncomfortable, and confusing at best for those in attendance. The man could not pronounce a name if his life depended on it.(Click For More)

Boehners drinking problem ignored by the mainstream media received a bit of coverage on a Washington, D.C. blog earlier this year.
Those who know Boehner best say he does tip more than a few from time to time and some of his drunken binges are poorly-kept secrets on Capitol Hill, the blog, Capitol Hill Blue noted. Each day, the email to Capitol Hill Blue is filled with stories about Boehners after-hours partying exploits.
During a trip to Washington, D.C. earlier this year, FITS heard many of these stories
with specific references to the Capitol Hill Club.
Boehner isnt just a drunk, either, hes allegedly an inveterate skirt-chaser whos had numerous affairs, according to Down With Tyranny, another Washington, D.C. blog. In fact one lawmaker told us on our recent Washington trip that Boehner married since 1973 was forced to narrow his number of regular lobbyist lovers from three down to one when it became evident he was in line to become Speaker in 2010.(Click To read More)

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. |

Justin Amash is saying that the rumor that McCarthy would be given the position is utterly false.

Lemme see... Oh, yeah...
A selfish, foolish, delusional bastard who cares more about himself than of his country and the principles of its founding fathers? That's my final answer, Regis...
