House Republicans are not shifting to the political right, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) told CNSNews.com on Wednesday, just hours after two of the top three GOP leadership spots were won by conservative lawmakers in an internal leadership election.
Members Reps. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.), Mike Pence (R-Ind.), and John Mica (R-Fla.), however, told CNSNews.com that they think the conference is shifting to the political right.
But Boehner said, “No, I don’t think it’s right or left. It’s what are the issues Americans are concerned about, and how do we build solutions on our principles? It’s not left or right.
“That’s minimizing and marginalizing the situation,” Boehner told

It’s obvious he’s ashamed to be conservative.
John Boehner, the Robert H. Michel of our time.....
You are a wise person.
Damn well BETTER be.
Of course he’s right. If he were wrong then the Republicans would have challenged him with a conservative and kicked his butt out of the leadership.
The GOP remains a disgrace and I won’t be returning to helping them anytime soon.
Mica wears a rug and a pinky ring. Never trust a man who wears a pinky ring.
Horseshite!!!
The GOP doesn't need this guy leading the House minority any longer. At this rate, the GOP is gonna lose more seats in 2010!
Contact Mike Pence and tell him, replace Boehner NOW!
Well if they aren’t moving to the right, they won’t be moving to anywhere near a majority in the future.
UMM...Boehner is saying the same thing Pelosi and Reid said when they were made leaders. Pelosi and Reid redefined left and right. Although they were far left they defined themselves as center.
Boehner’s statement is clear: the new leaders are center.
Get it?
I think you have it. We are pro Constitution and anti socialist; we are pro common sense and we are pro anti fringe; and we are liberty and anti tyranny and anarchy.
The Constitution is a document of common sense pro liberty ideas. It's content should not be labeled as wing-like.
“Boehner Says House GOP Not Shifting to the Right”
Then why in the hell would I want to support you?
What state is Boehner from? Time to get a new candidate up and running against this loser for 2010 - if he won’t be a conservative, well, then, damnit, it’s time to ELECT one!
“Instead, a 3rd party will rise in dominance with conservative values like low taxes, less govt, follow the constitution replacing the traditional Repub Party.”

Include social conservatism and I’ll need the address to send a large seed money contribution......
I think Boehner is just redefining the terms. The Pro Freedom and pro Constitution positions are common sense, center-of-thought positions.
It's the big government types who are left wing and it is the RINO types who are half way to the left. The principle of unalienable rights is NOT fringe.
Great!~
On top of this, we now get another 6 years of McCain and watching him become that 60th Senate vote that gives the Democrats Cloture. Especially on Gorebull Warming and throwing the doors wide open at the borders.
This is going to get extremely ugly before the economy makes it’s own correction.
How could this RINO asshole STILL be in power after presiding over the loss of SO MANY seats?
>> It’s what are the issues Americans are concerned about, and how do we build solutions on our principles?
Really, a question?
Boner, please go away!!
