John Boehner: Screwing the American People
teapartynation.com ^ | 12/6/14 | Judson Phillips

Posted on 12/08/2014 6:42:44 AM PST by cotton1706

Now that he feels secure that he will have another term as Speaker of the House of Representatives, John Boehner is going full liberal on America. He is preparing to push an Amnesty bill through the House next year. He has completely abandoned any attempt to repeal, replace or even reduce Obamacare.

And he is spending money like a drunken Democrat.

From The Hill:

House conservatives are griping that Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is putting the squeeze on them by rushing through a $1 trillion spending bill in Congress’s last week in session.

Appropriators are expected to roll out the legislation early next week, giving critics scant time to figure out what’s inside before they cast their votes by the end of the week. The government would shut down on Dec. 12 without a new funding bill.

“Here we are doing the appropriations bill the last couple days” before a government shutdown, conservative Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-Kansas) said in an interview this week. “That’s not to squeeze Harry Reid. That’s to squeeze us.”

Boehner critics say there’s no reason the Speaker couldn’t have brought the spending package to the floor this past week, giving the House more time to consider it.

But doing so would also give more time for the right to build a case against it.

“They don’t want you to read it, that’s why! You think they want you to analyze all the mischievous items in there?” Rep. Walter Jones (R-N.C.) told The Hill.

Asked if the timing of the plan was aimed at jamming the Senate or House conservatives, Jones replied: “I think its aimed at screwing over the American people. You can quote me on that.”

I’ve already contacted my Representative, but I’m sure it will fall on deaf ears. I’m so discusted with Washington. I think it’s time for another civil war.

They do this stuff at the end of the year on purpose, to get as much law passed as possible using no longer accountable (retiring or defeated) members!

Unfortunately my rep is a Dem, so calling does little good. Still, it is fun from time to them to give them an earful.

History shows a poor outcome for such things. The framers knew a the day might come when the Federal Government they created would slip all the boundaries they set for it. They wanted a Constitutional way of by-passing such a Federal monster. They created Article V so the states could do so. It's time.

Just as I have been thinking all along. Boner is the same as Pelosi. It doesn’t make a difference. Well maybe there is a difference, Boner cries a lot more than Pelosi.

It took Boehner’s efforts to defeat the voters in 2010. In this latest massive landslide repudiation of Obama, Boehner is set to once again save the Obama agenda. However, come January, the entire Republican congress will assume the responsibility if they once again elect that pathetic drunk to be Speaker.

The R’s have a big enough advantage in the house that the people in the 8th Ohio can safely vote for Bohner’s primary challenger and if it comes to it, a demo in the general. He needs to be gotten rid of by any means possible at the ballot box.

I think he was already elected speaker again?
Not 100% as I would think the incoming congress would have to have some say in the matter..

The sellout on Amnesty by the Ruling Class was expected, but it is nothing more than a distraction of the real damage they are planning, namely this:

This new Financial Institution Bankruptcy act will Make We the People responsible for all the losses on Wall Street.
They know the Big Game is coming to an end and they need an out, looks like we will be the out, got it. Hold on tight, things are gonna get much worse.

Not an "if" anymore but just a "when". If the "when" is in 2015, I can at least shout "It's Obama's fault". A pathetic consolation.

There is a gale force political wind behind congress to stop all things Obama, yet the Uniparty continues to do his bidding.

An Article V convention is our last possible peaceful tool to restore our republic.

There is nothing to lose and everything to gain.

All Freepers should petition their state rep and senator to demand congress call a convention NOW!

In Arizona the Senate leader (Andy Biggs) is acting like a miniature Harry Reid. He's not even letting Article V come to a vote. It's because of such MR. BIG's I'm thinking that using the state initiative process would be useful. Just click on my name to see more.

Interesting idea. I’ve posted a few vanities but I’ve generally kept them to a minimum.
