Are Boehner, McDonnell, Chief Justice Roberts and other assorted RINOs being systematically blackmailed by WhiteHouse/FBI/CIA/IRS?
It would explain a lot. In all seriousness.
We know how this President operates. We know how he uses the government agencies. We know he targets enemies. We know the Republican leadership doesn't represent the people who keep voting for it. We've all seen crazy decisions made by them that seem illogical and self-destructive to their party's interests (to say nothing of the country's). We know we're all being spied on. We all know the US is no longer a free country.
Has any independent media organisation looked into the possibility these guys have skeletons in their closets and are under pressure to concede, well, just about everything that matters.
What do you think?
Hasn’t happened to Ted Cruz and didn’t happen to Reagan. Liberals are not and liberalism is not an unstoppable force. However, it is necessary to point out who the liberals are, and the RINOs are they.
In this day and age, it’s not the facts but the seriousness of the charge( remember that one).
Gowdy was part of the bunch that badmouthed the Tea Party way back in 2010 as well.
It helps to remember that the Clinton-Bush coziness goes back to the days of Iran-Contra, when Papa Bush was supervising covert arms shipments to Latin America out of Arkansas (with drugs making the return trip) and Governor Clinton was busy looking the other way. Further, as was clear during abortive Republican investigations into various Clinton scandals, in the culture of impunity of Washington, politics stops at corruption's edge. Almost all major corruption is either bipartisan or common enough that one side can effectively blackmail the other.
No, they are on the same side.
Boner looks like that a lot, but I just figured it was from drinking...but you DO have a Point!
A few can function Some opposition is necessary for appearance. Cruz, even will get slapped down at some point. Or. Some are principled enough that they can bull it through and not get hurt. A lot of the damage from these phoney scandals is done by the targets to themselves by getting scared and apologizing for something they perhaps should even be proud of or just giving up under the onslaught but that is the normal reaction to most or almost all politicians who start out with that weakness in their character. They must have visible public approval and when they are publicly and seemingly universally excoriated they cave far too easily. Think about the many Tea Party stalwarts who have become slavish followers of the Government Party, most within a month or so of taking their seats.
Yup, I always figured they had the goods on Boehner. If you remember he talked tough at the beginning, then suddenly the Nat’l Enquirer ran a story about him boozing and hitting the bars after work, and one of his mistresses/girlfriends, and he’s been as quiet as a lamb ever since.

If any one of them is being blackmailed they should just retire for the good of the country. They have become rich while (serving) . Gov’t leaders are stealing our hard earned money and wasting it or giving it to their supporters.
No worries if you are innocent...

Both parties created this un-Constitutional 4th branch of government known as the bureaucracy. Do they think they can honestly control this monster at this point. The bureaucrats are going to support whom ever keeps those raises and paychecks coming in and turning the other way when they get caught doing something illegal. Obama has given them free rein, guess who the bureaucrats are going to blackmail...
That being said with the CIA getting burned by the democrats in Congress I would look for lots of retirements from their side of the aisle soon. Payback’s a Hillary!
tinfoil hat on
How can the One who is hiding everything hold anything over on someone else? Something is horribly wrong here.
While I appreciate his military service and time as a POW, he was not the sharpest tool in the bag at the Naval Academy and Naval Flight School. And he he hasn't done much better as a senator.
Time to be put McCain out to pasture.
“McDonnell” is my surname and I sure as hell don’t want any connection to that deceitful lying snake. He probably has a bunch of our real gold.
Roberts, maybe. McConnell and Boner are just worthless.
You miss the point.
I have suspected this for years, but after the Supreme Court fiasco with Chief Justice Roberts, I was convinced I was right. I respect Justice Roberts and something made him change his mind about Obamacare at the last minute. I have read that maybe someone could “prove” that his adopted daughters (whom he adores) came from Ireland? If that is true, they could be taken away from him. That is pretty strong duress, don’t you think? Also, I think Republican potential presidential candidate, Herman Cain’s (whom I supported monetarily) family was threatened. He was not concerned with the anomalous accusations of sexual impropriety, but suddenly I noticed Secret Service agencies behind him and suspected immediately some sort of threat. And, of course, it is the Chicago Way.
That was why Clinton could get away with what he did. The Republicans were just as dirty as the Democrats. Different type offenses, but just as dirty.
