Boehner is a RINO who needs to go regardless of this current flap with Bachmann.
Boehner has done nothing, absolutely nothing to get the country back on track.
Boehner has a position to be the voice of conservatism. He is a mouse, a small little mouse that wants to be a Rat, a democRat.
“There is a general sense among those close to Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, and Whip Kevin McCarthy that Bachmann is not so much a political threat to the leadership, but a member who needs to be better managed. Still, they say, because she does not consult with leadership on most of her initiatives and does not respond well to emissaries or private counsel, many aides feel that Boehner’s public statement was the best way to send a message — for now.”
This thinking is highly insulting. The speaker of the House and the leadership are not a representatives bosses. They do not have to check in with them. Bachmann needs to answer to her direct constituents and to the people of the United States. That is it. Bachmann has demonstrated time and time again that she is looking out for the country, while Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy etc. have continually screwed us over. They don’t want anybody rocking their boat and that’s just too damn bad!
In taking her eye off the House ball, she removed herself from the Tea Party caucus leadership role, and allowed Boehner to marginalize her, perhaps as the GOP-E intended. She's now lost a lot of her credibility, as the leaderless TEA Party freshmen have been coopted one by one, and is pretty much at Boehner's mercy.
No Ed, we know who the kooks are and it's you and your fellow traitors.
We will remember come election time.
I think when new Republican US Representitives get to The House, they get one instruction from the speaker, “DON’T ROCK THE BOAT”. Michelle has been rocking the boat, won’t shut up, so the leadership will drag her to the bus and force her under it. The crying leader wuss will likely remove her from the Intelligence Committee after this election.
‘You were asking’ Ping!
“If anything, one GOP source says, the entire episode has been a distraction for Boehner”
Distracting him from his focus on caving into the Democrats on every issue. Its hard work thinking up excuses to backtrack on every promise you make the public to stand firm on the debt ceiling and de-funding Obamacare.
