How about a raging fire?
The Debt Ceiling was arranged so that the “fiscal cliff” would not occur until after elections, so as to “not make it political” - of course doing so IS political and only helps the Democrats. He’s doing the same with Obama’s decree that implementation of Obamacare be delayed, again until after the election. Does Boehner demand the law be obeyed? No, or course not.
Obama picks and chooses which laws to enforce, or issues decrees completely usurping Congress’ authority, and not a peep from the Speaker of the House. Not a peep from the Majority Leader. Not a peep from the Opposition Party. John Boehner is all three of these things. Not a peep from John Boehner.
He takes great care to ensure that Democrats electoral prospects are not damaged. He exerts great effort at implementing Obama’s Amnesty Agenda. He screws every conservative/tea party elected in 2010. He COMPLETELY IGNORES major major corruption. Scandalous corruption. Where is Boehner’s energy for investigating F&F, AP, IRS, NSA, BENGHAZI? It’s been ten months and there has been very little progress on Benghazi. Nothing at all is being done about the NSA. There is some movement on the IRS. F&F is completely forgotten. But Obama’s Amnesty Agenda is Boehner’s #1 priority.
Nevermind principle, he does not even competently advance (what is supposedly) the Republican agenda. All he does is make deals being sure to leave something on the table so as to setup the next deal. Witness the Debt Ceiling becoming the Fiscal Cliff becoming Sequestration. His actions are all about preserving his position. He enriches himself. He stymies Conservatives and protects the Democrat agenda. He is completely unfit for office, never mind the Speakership. It’s a disgrace the Republicans even allow his membership in the Party since he screws Republicans and helps Democrats.
Obama’s success would not be possible without John Boehner.
I agree with every word you said, and I have stated here many times that Boehner must go. I also believe Darryl Issa is filthy dirty. I have to wonder what the rats have on so many Republicans that they are completely cowered. Whatever, I also think it’s all over anyway. Here’s from 2008:
