I think it is a good thing for our leaders to be challenged.
Go baby, go!
If he is running on a single issue, he is DIW. I hope he “extends and revises” his reasons for running, because if I have any extra money, I will donate to his campaign. Like Obama, Boehner has done a lot of things that a savvy candidate can attack.
as david barton says,
abortion is our key issue.
all others follow.
Good!!!!
Get rid of that weakling. He is working against us.
There are a whole lot of issues that Boner could be vulnerable on. It makes no sense to limit oneself to this issue only.
Sorry, I think this is stupid.
Hussein is happy about this...it diverts resources and attention away from him and his sycophants.
We The People spoke loudly on November 02, 2010 and you said you heard us but went deaf within 48 hours.
We the People spoke again this past Tuesday in the special elections held in Nevada and New York.
You've been repeatedly told that we want Obama and this Marxist agenda STOPPED.
Yet, since November you have continually compromised with the agenda that keeps adding links in the long chain of Tyranny! WE WANT IT STOPPED!!
You have now been put on notice Sir.
Boehner certainly needs to be challenged. And his failure to hold Obama’s feet to the fire in either one of the two budget votes—the only votes where the Republicans really had the power to DO something—is the obvious place to attack him.
But I doubt if this unknown 26 year old is the person to do it. Yes, we need someone to do it, but it looks to me as if this guy is just getting in the way.
I do give him credit for speaking out. But I hope a stronger candidate will emerge. Frankly, CBS/AP would not be giving him this free publicity if they didn’t think he was eminently beatable.
There are a myriad of reasons why to replace Boehner. While I think the funding for Planned Parenthood is an excellent issue to oppose him on, you really do need to explain other things that reveal what your total perceptions are concerning governance.
What we may realize this one issue conveys, the general public may not recognize. It’s good to give folks a number of reasons to back you, even if the one good reason is sound.
It brings attention to the establishment and life issues. Thanks David. The picture of David that CBS posted tells us what they think...
Hope he runs. Bonehead needs to go.
the feckless one must go!
i’ll be writing a check if he checks out.
bump
I think Boehner is doing a good job.
This primary challenge, where this guy has virtually no chance, is precisely the kind of thing upon which many here will apply scarce resources, which could be better deployed defeating democrats.
Here's something we do know about the young man:
Lewis, a University of Cincinnati graduate who quit his job with a bank last December to be an activist, acknowledged that he lives in Rep Jean Schmidt’s (R-Loveland) district now. But he said he’d move into 8th District if he wins the primary.
He's not even living in Boehner's district.
He, and thousands just like him, need to run for seats at the bottom of the GOP, where they could easily win.
It is because the average 'conservative' doesn't understand their duty to take care of business in their own district that we find ourselves with far too few vetted capable candidates for all elections. Yet the RINO's and liberals 'get it' while conservatives just don't.
After all, he swore to God to support the Constitution, which says:
"No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.""No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law."
He should also lose for a whole lot of other things, not the least of which is the fact that he lectured the new Tea Party freshmen the first day they arrived on the Hill about how they had to be "adults" and vote to raise the debt ceiling, and for advocating throughout the debate that we raise it by more than two TRILLION dollars.
Let’s check out this guy and see if he is for real
This could easily be a diversion from a democrap organization to portray Tea PArty as one- issue voters
There are A LOT of reasons to primary Boner, not just this issue.
