(Sep 24, 2015) The allegation of a conservative turning on his own and becoming an enforcer for Republican leadership came to light as House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, arrived at a dilemma.
If he sides with House conservatives and defunds Planned Parenthood in the upcoming budget bill, he will almost certainly face a government shutdown, a prospect that terrifies GOP leadership.
If he doesn’t try to defund the abortion provider, that will likely trigger a brewing revolt by conservatives seeking to dethrone Boehner as speaker. And, if Democrats play along, they may have the votes.
If Boehner isn’t feeling the heat, at least publicly, his friends certainly appear to be, after an ally went on a spectacular tirade that included calling conservatives communists.
“The right-wing Marxists have teamed up with Pelosi. They’re the ones who always team up with Pelosi. They are the Pelosi Republicans,” said Nunes.
why would Nunes, considered a conservative himself, so scathingly attack fellow conservatives, as well as repeatedly defend Boehner?
The answer, according to a source with intimate knowledge of Capitol Hill behind the scenes, is that Nunes has made a deal and become “Boehner’s political assassin.”

““In exchange for status as a Boehner insider,” the source told WND, “Devin gives John Boehner a lot of NRCC (National Republican Congressional Committee) campaign money. Probably a million or more per cycle, because Devin has an easy district and easily gets reelected, so, instead of spending the money on himself, he gives it to Boehner.”
“Devin’s assignment is to go to the press and savage conservatives or conservative strategy, saying what Boehner would say but without attribution to Boehner.”
In exchange, the source said, Nunes was given “a plum committee chairmanship.”

in other words, he’s not a dog but a whore?

Isn’t this the guy from CA. There was a lot of stink when Gov Brown appointed him. I thought the appointment was to the state gov, not the fed.
