John Boehner is scared conservatives are beginning to gain traction on the issue of defunding Obamacare. How do I know?
David Winston is rigging a poll to get some desired results.
Winston is a John Boehner adviser and his preferred pollster. In fact, internally, some Republicans grouse that Beohner uses Winston to direct his lead on issues instead of just . . . well, you know. . . leading.
Check out David Winstons poll question.
In a national survey of 1,000 registered voters done July 31 and August 1, the question, from pollster David Winston, said,
Some members of Congress have proposed shutting down the government as a way to defund the presidents health care law
and asked respondents whether they favored or opposed that plan.
Ted Cruz has not proposed shutting down the government.
Mike Lee has not proposed shutting down the government.
Congressman Meadows has not proposed shutting down the government.
In fact, everyone who supports defunding Obamacare has been very clear that theyll vote for a continuing resolution, just not for Obamacare funding. If the government shuts down over that, it would be Barack Obama insisting his health care plan nobody wants gets funded.
The GOP Leaders have placed themselves in a no-win situation. It is not of conservative doing. They have refused to fight on Obamacare despite rhetoric otherwise and then gone out and pre-emptively spun against themselves any government shutdown.
This is all John Boehners doing. And, like his debt ceiling deal, it will probably blow up in his face.
boehner lost a lot of credibility with me when he predicted Romney would win Ohio...
ya gots to wonder what dirt obammy has on this neutered porch dog boehner??
Hard to decide which is more womanly, boehner or graham?
“There are a few people I do respect in the GOP. Cruz, Palin, West, Lee...in that order as well, but these good men and women as well as we the base should go elsewhere I am thinking.”
I’d add Ken Cuccinelli and Rand Paul (on his good days) to the list as well.
“The GOP has emptied its tent and lit it on fire”
...and thrown stink bombs at the firefighters, and spat on the paramedics, and salted the earth besides.
LOL! Salted the earth they did indeed :D
I do not know what to make of Rand Paul. I like him, sort of, but cannot vote for him if he’s pushing this amnesty crap. That is a deal killer.
Cuccinelli I am not familiar with. If I am not mistaken he is from Virginia and running for governor against that scumbag mccaullif? Also, unless I’ve mistaken him for someone else, Mark Levin is very supportive of him which is about the best endorsement there is for me.
Is he going to cry?
Please, Ohio! Primary Boner! Beat Boner in the Primary!
And, elect a Real Conservative!
What happens if the GOP refuses to budge on the funding but still gets the blame from the media and the democrats?
That’s exactly what will happen either way. GOP may as well go down swinging.
That’s what I’m thinking.
They believe, though, that sleeping with the enemy is always the better option.
Ms. Boehner has horrible political instincts, but perhaps he/she is right about this.
We conservatives ARE gaining momentum, and we happen to prefer something other than weakness, lassitude and outright cowardice from our alleged "representatives" [sic].
If Ms. Boehner wants a topic to worry over, "primary elections" just might be it.

Obama is Law-Less because McConnell and Boehner are Ball-Less!!
