The Tea Party should target this RINO SOB and do everything in their power to send his sorry ass back to Ohio.
My friend’s husband was told by his doctor that the doctor will be penalized (financially, by the Government) if he puts a stent into anyone over 60. So under Obamacare, it appears that 60 is the cutoff for life-saving surgeries. I am over 60; it was nice knowing you all.
Compare this to Reid’s statement that the Democrats will never work with Romney and one can understand why we are where we are. It’s time for a third party.
Ashley Wilkes has spoken. What a wimp.
He’s right it is the law of the land, and there is nothing he or anyone else can do about it - you can’t knock him for it.
Maybe more people should have shown up to vote
The House will be voting for a new speaker in a few weeks. Isn’t there some way we could mount a campaign to get rid of Bonehead?
And then they went out to play golf
what is he supposed to say. It was passed by congress, signed by the president and has withstood it’s first SC challenge. That sounds like a law to me.
If all this people that bitch about Obamacare actually voted for the guy that promised to repeal it, we would have a different president in January. I don’t blame Obama, I don’t blame Pelousy or Dingy Harry, I blame the people that voted for this or didn’t vote against it. The talking point was “people don’t for against a person, they need to vote for a person”.. well, we had the opportunity to vote for the person that more closely supported the founders values and most of them stayed home.
..I have urged my Congressman, Jeb Hensarling to consider someone else...but I am not holding my breath.
I fear that all these R "leaders" are selling us down the river as fast as the D's.
It is disappointing and disguising.
THERE IS NO "MANDATE" for the R's to "reach across the isle"!
If there is gridlock, so be it. The very least that comes out of Congress doing nothing is that our Life, Liberty and Property are relatively safe for the time being.
....see, the easy thing that the HR could do right now is to start removing funding from the Executive Branch of govt...but nooooooo...they go along with every "continuing resolution", and the Obama Admin is flying high...
..BTW...if there is somebody out there who can explain to us why the HR cannot defund any branch or agency of the Fed Govt...I want to hear it.
The thing I fear is that they CAN....but WILL NOT.
This guy should be flushed down the toilet.
Here the other side's cards:
1. USSC was pressured to uphold Obamacare
2. Slight loss in R House seats and members who will cave (e.g. my rep Wolf who caves on important things like TARP)
3. D Senate gains and Reid's hand on the nuclear button
4. Obama's support from the media
5. Obama's excessive executive power and willingness to ignore the constitution.
Yet many here expect and want the R House to go down fighting like Custer. The problem with that approach is that the cards that Boehner has are not pretty, and will work better with verbal window dressing like "flexibility" and "will look at all offered legislation". In short he needs to look good publicly and be tough privately.
Boner thinks that because the RINO GOP candidate lost, that now we need to be pussies and give reach arounds to the dems. We need to get rid of Boner ASAP!
Slavery was once “law of the land”, too, but that ended up being repealed.
The terms of “Obamacare” are just another form of involuntary indenture, with no opportunity for manumission.
Probably just a despair-induced fantasy, but what the hey...
Speaker of the White Hut
John Boehner has a vagina.
Since when is “Boehner capitulates” breaking news?
There should be a category called “what else is new?”
Get mad at Boehner all you want. The fact is Obama got reelected and the Dems. picked up 2 more seats in the Senate. Because Obamacare is the law and the Supreme court validated it, the Republican House cannot do a thing to change it without support from the Senate and Obama and we know that isn’t going to happen. So, get off his back on this.
I will be calling Louis Ghomert’s office first thing Monday morning, to ask if there is any way we can get a new speaker. Obamacare is still unconstitutional, John Roberts’ tortured logic notwithstanding. It is not the role of the federal government to dictate to US citizens that they must purchase any product, or engage in any commerce.
Simply saying it is a tax is not good enough, because their mandate requires a lot more action on the part of an individual than simply being taxed.
The Nazis had their “law of the land” too.
Boehner is a pathetic rep for liberty. He must go immediately.
