Conservatives bite back at House GOP leadership over purge (Boehner channels Stalin)
Wash Post ^ | 12/5/12 | Rachel Weiner

Posted on 12/05/2012 10:33:44 AM PST by jimbo123

Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) took a public shot at House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) Tuesday night, in the wake of a shake-up that knocked a small group of conservatives off prominent committees.

Justin Amash ✔ @repjustinamash Still waiting for call from GOP leadership. Are they too embarrassed to explain they booted me for working to reduce debt? 4 Dec 12 ReplyRetweetFavorite

Amash, a libertarian-leaning conservative, was taken off the House Budget Committee. Tea party-backed Rep. Tim Huelskamp (Kan.) was taken off Budget and Agriculture. Reps. Walter Jones (N.C.), a rare moderate, and David Schweikert (Ariz.) lost their spots on the Financial Services Committee. Amash, Huelskamp and Schweikert were all first elected in the 2010 Republican wave.

Bonehead is doing a great job pushing Conservatives that vote GOP to become Conservatives who tell the GOP to go pound sand.

Boehner is a spineless RINO coward.

To paraphrase the leftists: "One man's spineless RINO coward is another man's stalwart Democrat hero."

“Boehner is a spineless RINO coward.”

Remember that song, “I want to Bobby’s Girl”?

Boehner’s new song is, “I Wanna be Barry’s Bitch”.

The sudden and unexplained "booting" of Conservatives from places they TRULY BELONG, especially noteworthy is the booting of Conservatives whom are trying to cut all of this absurd spending.

This is as disturbing as it is disgusting.

Boehner got caught with a sheep, and now Obama owns him through blackmail.

We need a conservative backlash, a national campaign for all conservatives who currently contribute to GOP to stop until further notice.

That would get their attention. Or maybe not since we’re rapidly being replaced by lobbyists & foreign donors.

Think of Boehner as a Democrat and everything falls into place. He ran unopposed, you know.

STOP THIS!! To equate Boehner with Stalin is going too darned far!! I challenge each and everyone of you who belong to this mob that is willing to jump to all conclusions without even investigating to start investigating the voting records of these removed.

I have lost all respect for FR--it has become nothing but a mob who refuses to stop to think before leaping. You are not capable of thinking for yourselves.

Fairly obvious where the crooks running DC are taking the country and the world. They want to destroy the value of Worlds Reserve Currency. They are enemies of humanity.

This conservative has already been pushed - this move by boehner was the final straw (that and his smarmy arm-patting photo with bo and his panting, breathless, “yeah, yeah, we will be HAPPY to enhance revenues, we will REALLY screw over the achievers so you will like us, because we hope if we do that, you will talk about cutting .0001% of your crazy spending...is there a ring for me to kiss? Where is my assigned grovel-spot? What can I do to make you look better Mr. President?” attitude)

Sick of boehner, sick of the folks who chose him as their leader, sick of the gop. Done, Done, DONE! I’m through with the gop.

Methinks an investigaton of Mr. Boehner’s voting record is more appropriate.
