House Speaker Rep. John Boehner (R-OH)is under fire from Conservatives. While on a fund raising trip, he told a Politico reporter that dealing with them is part of his job.

“Garbage men get used to the smell of bad garbage. Prisoners learn how to become prisoners, all right?” Boehner said in a phone interview this weekend from Seattle during a fundraising trip to the Pacific Northwest, referring especially to the grind of constant travel. “You can teach yourself to do anything, especially if you’re committed to a cause. I came to Washington to fight for a smaller, less costly and more accountable government.”

Some conservatives have complained that he doles out punishment to conservatives who cross him; Boehner said that’s not his style.

“I don’t believe in rewarding bad behavior,” he said. “That’s a much better way of saying it.”

The rap that his leadership style is autocratic is also off the mark, he said.

“People who think I’m a dictator or acting like a dictator have absolutely no clue what they’re talking about because I never make a decision on my own,” Boehner said.

Not a single conservative should ever vote for this man. If my congressman votes for him, then he is proven to be a non-conservative.

So when are you going to start?

[cripplecreek]

I think its time to clean out the pigsty because I can’t stand the stench.

[SpaceBar]

Sounds like he switched to formaldahyde for more ‘kick’.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

I hate that bastard, now more than ever.

I never make a decision on my own,” Boehner said.

I'm a CoC puppet, wha, wha, wha......

Garbage men get used to the smell of bad garbage.

Does his caucus and his constituents know this is what he thinks of them? Sounds like great fodder for a campaign commercial to me!

Gerrymander Boehner's district to include the Upstate of South Carolina.

Speaking of garbage, Mr. Boehner? You seem to forget that compromising with bad policy is like adding a little sewage to your drinking water!

[Mr. K]

IS HE BEING PRIMARIED?????

[Cyman]

And the stink of a corrupted liver is only slightly worse than that of a corrupted soul.

[JudyinCanada]

He doesn’t believe in rewarding bad behaviour.

Wow - unbelievable arrogance. Hopefully it’s the booze talking.

[Blood of Tyrants]

And RINOs will continue to be RINOs.

[skeeter]

He’s developed into quite a nasty, vindictive little drunk, isn’t he?

[Raycpa]

How would he know, I thought intoxication affects ones sense of smell?

Good point

He could start by cutting $500 million to Planned Parenthood.

[glennaro]

His consistent actions during his tenure as Speaker belie just about every word Boehner says in this article.

If my well-respected conservative representative, Tom McClintock, votes again to retain Boehner as Speaker (asa he did following the 2014 election), he'll never again receive my vote (much less my, albeit limited, financial support)!

“People who think I’m a dictator or acting like a dictator have absolutely no clue what they’re talking about because I never make a decision on my own,” Boehner said.

That's for damn sure. Pelosi, Reid, Obama, and probably Soros all make the decision for him.
