Purged conservative reps: Boehner planning to ‘run over’ conservatives, vote for tax hike

Conservative Republican Reps. Tim Huelskamp of Kansas and Justin Amash of Michigan hit back at Republican leadership on Tuesday, following their Monday removal from prominent committees, calling the move “petty” and “vindictive,” and accusing Speaker of the House John Boehner and his deputies of silencing independent conservative voices in preparation to steamroll a tax hike through Congress.

Huelskamp — who was removed from the Agriculture and Budget Committees — released a video on Friday declaring his intention to not vote for any tax increases and received notice of his removal on Monday, “one business day” later.

“I think there’s going to be an attempt to pass a tax increase through the House, in exchange for what?” he told a group of reporters at the Heritage Foundation Tuesday afternoon. “This president doesn’t want to do entitlement reform, doesn’t want to cut spending… I think it makes very clear to conservatives that you’re about to get run over.”

The top 1% if income earners could be almost anybody in a given year. You create the new “pet rock” and it has a finite lifetime in terms of novelty and marketability. You have two choices. 1)Take your product and run it out and hope that you generate enough cash to not have to work again.

2) Take your product and generate enough cash to finance another endeavor, to finance the next, to finance the next to where you have a real going concern i.e. Ron Popiel and Ronco.

With the current regime the Ronco thing is off the table.

Bingo. The sad thing is, many big politically connected companies (ex. GE, GM) like the idea of killing off any future competitors just fine. They like fascism, as long as they are the favored few.

A permanent corrupt oligarchy is rising. You have a political class writing laws to kill off competition and handing out pork to the favored few corporations. The favored corporations kick back campaign contributions to the politicians. Everything is just fine... until the country rots out from within and collapses.

I don’t know why this is a surprise to anyone.

Boehner, Ryan and alot of those guys were never conservative to begin with. They voted with the majority of Dems to bail out the banks for starters.

I’m glad it says for export on the box.

Probably to China.
What a deal if we could pay off our debts in boneless pork rectums, inverted !

These idiots in DC would not have lasted long during the time of our founding. They would have been tarred and feathered, or worse.

Today we are too lazy and scared to gather ourselves up and physically throw these bums out. As a matter of fact, even here on FR there was a thread a couple of days ago where a group of people were thanking God for their Government handouts and asking for/wanting more.

[ncalburt]

Bonehead is fighting to keep his real base the lobbyists rolling in our taxes .
He is know as the DC lobbyist bag man and nothin more .
He is the sleaziest amoral crook of them
All .
We need to march on DC to remove all of them now .

[what's up]

I think at least 3 out of 4 of these people are Ron Paul backers.

Keep that in mind. At least 2 of them want more defense cuts, for example.

[JRandomFreeper]

Ron Paul backers.

Want to place a bet on whether Ron lives to the next election cycle? He's old.

He lost this one.

I'm very interested in changing the procurement system for DOD.

Fighter mafia will hate me, but fly, then fix. Like we did back when we were winning wars.

How about arguing merits, and staking out positions, instead of casting aspersions?

I am not a Paul bot .
I am sick of Bonehead and Cantor and Ryan !
Snake oil salesman.

[what's up]

Well, even if you're sick of Boehner, Cantor and Ryan (Ryan...really?) don't jump just because the Paul-ites tell you to.

[mike_9958]

Just to clarify for myself:

Are we calling closing loopholes or limiting deductions “raising taxes” ?

Or are we referring to raising tax rates ?

I’m beginning to think that we are being played by these people writing these articles, and headlines.

[ncalburt]

I am not joking but Bonehead and Mitchy are killing the GOP .
They are a disaster and will destroy the GOP .
His lack of action on stopping Obamacare for two
Years killed the GOP momentum in 2012 !
In 2010 people rose up to stpp Obamacare
And he financed it !

He represents the DC lobbyist elites and not us !
Boner is only worried about keeping the massive beltway lobbyist and there clients Fed with our taxes !
In 2000 when bonehead took over we were all warning about him !

[familyop]

Yes, exactly! The deal will be made for more pork to state and local government employees and others (the contemporary Republican constituency and objective). It’s a regime of recirculating debt.
