Hey Boehner, LIAR! This BS will not fly when we look at your record, and we all know you're
trying to save your own ass from being unelected Speaker.


You cannot wait for the eleventh hour to become conservative and fake having
your balls back from Pelosi's purse. And as far as telling Reid to go F-himself,
to late, and I don't believe you did. It's a gimmick to get our support, back. /flip..

I knew we were finished 10 seconds after he was elected Speaker.

House Republicans, do yourself and the country a favor: Do NOT re-elect him as Speaker.

I don’t understand why people give Obama all this supposed ‘power’. Dealing with him could not possibly be easier. It’s just a lack of will on the part of any in the GOP.

Tell him ‘NO’ and do not give him a red cent for anything. If you have to, spend some campaign money sent to Romney’s failed fiasco and buy 1/2 hour of Prime Time and tell people why.

Very simple. Very doable and ALL constitutional.

Now if any of the excuse-makers rampant on FR lately and still bitterly clinging to Bhoner style governance can argue why the above is incorrect, please entertain us with your spin.

The GOP held states are the only ones holding the line against Obama these days. I can’t imagine how bad things would be if we didn’t have nearly half of them.

Those etates are held by people who believe in constitutional governance. Not the party and politics of compromise.

Those people worth their salt will govern as well or as poorly (probably much better) without pressure to bend. They are not just going to disappear. We lost West and others because the GOP gave their seats to dems through inaction and in one case active campaigning against their own guy. That is not a winning party. It’s a Democrat party.

Even RINO heavy Michigan has been downright aggressive with Obama. The Michigan GOP chair did it exactly right in verbally slapping Obama and telling him to stay out of state business.

December 10, 2012

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Matt Frendewey, Director of Communications O: 517-487-5413

Michigan Republican Party chairman Bobby Schostak issued the following statement in response to President Obama’s visit to Michigan today:

“It’s interesting that President Obama has chosen to stop in Michigan to propose his economic recovery plan of higher taxes, more spending and broken budgets. Here in Michigan we’ve seen actual economic recovery by streamlining government, cutting taxes and balancing budgets.

“The President’s divisive message and attack on Michigan workers is just another indication of how out of touch Pres. Obama has become. President Obama’s continued attempt to subvert state rights is an assult on our federal system.

“I encourage the former law professor and our current President brush up on the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, ‘The powers not delegated to the United states by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.’

“The President’s stance is a blatant attack on Michigan workers and demonstrates the President’s staunch support of special interest union bosses. Thankfully, Michigan Republican leaders are here to provide a firewall for Michigan workers and their families and to keep Michigan’s turnaround on course.”


Rick Snyder's brush off of Obama was good too.

Gov. Snyder reveals his conversation with President Barack Obama

During an exclusive one-hour sit down on WKAR-Public TV, the governor confirms that he and President Barack Obama shared a few minutes in private and the president looked the governor in the eye and said, "He wasn't pleased with Right to Work," Mr. Snyder reveals for the first time.

And the governor's response?

Short, sweet and to the point. "I said thank you for sharing that with me."

He’s so full of it. He will cave and force the rest of the GOP to fall in line if they don’t remove him tomorrow. Even Cantor would be better.

"Those efforts ended in failure, leaving Boehner feeling burned by Obama and, at times, isolated within his conference. "

Aw, the beaten wife finally gets a glimmer after being knocked around the room fifty times.

What a pathetic moron

I support that completely.

Bhoner and the national level GOP does not. Their silence results in our freedoms and rights being stripped. If they did, then where is it? That’s my point. The GOP is nothing but a hindrance. These men went against the go along get along BS without a peep of support from the national level.

They would do the same without the albatross around their necks and again, likely better. They were elected by people voting for them, not the GOP.

Conservatives need a new political home, and this is one of the many, finite reasons why the left will keep on winning many future elections to come, if not for always. The GOP is dead, and U.S. conservatism is on life support. The House will be taken over by the D’s, after the ‘14 November general election, and all other political offices that the R’s control will be taken over by the D’s, soon enough. The stupid/ignorant voters dominate the total voter rolls, already, and several million illegal immigrants will, successfully, be added to the total pro-leftist voter rolls, too, for many years to come. Prove me wrong on all of these things, please.

Dear Speaker,
Do you not remember Reagan and Bush tried with the Democrats what you did with the same results. Pelosi will gladly remind you. Are you so arrogant that you thought you were special? I just got taxed so I think you should retire. You got used and we all knew you would. And you don’t have the fight anymore. We’re all looking for someone in the GOP to step up but nobody is asking for the ball.

Thank you mr. speaker.

I wish I had thought of this sooner, but, Boehner should have allowed a palace coup several weeks ago, with Allen West becoming the Speaker to negotiate with DumBO. Allen would have been able to eat ZerO for breakfast. West would have relinquished his position at the end of this Congress, Or not, I have read somewhere that the Speaker need not be a member of Congress.

That’s correct, the Speaker doesn’t have to be a member of the House.

Alan West would make a great Speaker, IMO, but it’s unlikely to happen.

If Boehner kept repeating references to “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” - he might get some attention. Until then . . .

I wish the Rep would pay for some help in the PR department, or fire the firm they have. They should be be putting out spin every single day.
