CBS/AP) CINCINNATI — A tea party activist is challenging U.S. House Speaker John Boehner in the 2012 Republican primary.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that David Lewis announced his candidacy on Friday.
Lewis, 26, is the father of a 2-year-old girl, and says he plans to run on a single issue — Boehner's support of a federal budget that includes funding for Planned Parenthood, which he calls "the largest killer of unborn babies in America."
Lewis told the newspaper he plans to run graphic...

Amen and Amen!
Works for me! Then if Gov. Palin enters the race and gets the nomination Bachmann for Speaker of the House! (At least she would be #3 in line for President)
Do you realize that Talking Points Memo is nothing but a left wing site? Just like Politico is.
Idiotic. Why weaken the leading member of the GOP?
Right!
Boehner says: “Get Your Ass In Line” !!
And more from something not so left.
"Levin says it didn’t take 8 months for Republicans to revert back to their old ways with Boehner bullying his caucus to get them behind his plan"
Can you say, with a straight face, that Boehner has fought as hard to stop the spending as he has to stop tax hikes? Careful now, everyone is watching.
I love that graphic too.
In Fact it’s time to go to Washington AGAIN.
Don’t let up for a minute on these guys.
Good luck! Everytime we call his office or write letters, we seem to be getting the run around as the response. The insiders will not allow a conservative to be the leader/so we don’t offend anyone/so tired of this foolish stance. We didn’t put him in power to make friends. Such a beautiful picture.
You are absolutely right! Time to march on Washington again.
(((ML)))!!
(check FReepmail later this evening)
Whose office? Boehner? or Lewis?
Can’t live on yesterday’s glory.
And you CAN’T let up until Our Goals are reached.
I can't analyze the energy Beohner has expended in all the different things he does. But I do know that he did hold down spending in the last 2 debt fights and he is speaking out against most of the proposals (spending) in this jobs bill. Boehner knows that spending is not going to be cut dramatically until we get the Senate and WH. He will never be able to do it with just one chamber. That's just facts.
Great point.
But Boeahner does need to be challenged.
>>Whose office? Boehner? or Lewis?
Speaker Boehner.
I have said all along I didn’t think Boehner was up to the task.
Now I am saying it..I don’t really like Boehner and I hope he is defeated.
Amen...
Oh puhleeeeeeeeeze. Who just farted? We are at record levels of spending and it's still getting LARGER! And Boehner is right in the thick of the spending increases!
The Republicans have had a President with a majority in the House and the Senate. I don't believe for one second that if we get another Republican President and get a majority in the House and the Senate that there will be any meaningful cuts in spending or the size of Government. I see no proof that Boehner has ever worked hard to bring any of these things about. You're beginning to sound hopey changey about Boehner without showing a solid track record that he will change anything meaningfully. He has one last chance to calm the conservatives down, and I think he will blow it.
