Republican hard-liners are ‘false prophets,’ Boehner says
Washington Post ^ | September 27, 2015 | Mike DeBonis

Outgoing House Speaker John A. Boehner, in his first one-on-one interview since announcing his resignation last week, compared conservative hard-liners in his party to biblical "false prophets" who promise more than they can deliver.

Boehner announced Friday that he would step down Oct. 30 after nearly five years as speaker amid constant pressure from his party's right flank. Asked Sunday by host John Dickerson on a live broadcast of CBS's "Face the Nation" whether those hard-liners are "unrealistic about what can be done in government," Boehner exploded.

Boehner addressed the remaining five weeks of his speakership, in which he pledged to "get as much finished as possible." Pressing matters include striking a deal with President Obama to keep the government open through the coming fiscal year, raising the federal borrowing limit, passing a long-term transportation bill and extending popular tax breaks.

The Bible says beware of false prophets, and there are people out there like you Freepers spreading noise about how much can get done.

Keep talking, Boehner. Anyone who wants to get re-elected might have to vote for true conservatives for leadership votes or get primaried.

The more you look at that photo, the more it hits you that it perfectly addresses who Boehner came to be.

I’m sure he doesn’t see himself that way, but it the real him to me.

Never thought that I'd ever support an "enema of the state" as someone called it (I won't say who but he's on the radio).

I wasn't going to say this but remember John Boehner referred to us as garbage and others in the Party call us crazies and worse.. and I've heard one Tea Party American Congressman say Boehner calls him "poop" head (substituting for the word Boehner uses) and so ..

the last election didn't complete the job but..

Looks like something has administered the stimulant for the evacuation to

Void the bowels of Washington, D.C.!

A Judas talking about false prophets? He should just take his silver and leave quietly.

People who disagree with Boehner are false prophets? Sure sounds like Obama.

This from the jerk who remained in office just long enough to get to meet the pope, then resigned before the holy water was dry.

Maybe they’re false prophets who can’t deliver on their promises. But they are not lying, Constitution ignoring, population enslaving traitors.
