Renee Elmers (R-NC-2) Attacks Boehner Challengers, Says They are Media Whores Without Substance
The Right Scoop ^ | The Right Scoop

Posted on 01/06/2015 4:19:02 AM PST by Timber Rattler

Today Boehner lackey Renee Elmers attacked Boehner challengers Rep. Gohmert and Rep. Yoho as media whores with no substance whatsoever:

Monday on NewsMax TV’s “Midpoint,” Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC) without naming names blasted members of Congress who have come out against House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) in his bid for a third term as speaker.

Ellmers said, “Those who are acting out right now though are getting some media attention. That is all it is. It’s media attention. These are folks that thrive on it. They are bad actors right now because they are acting as though they are going against the party and there is really no substance to it whatsoever. If they truly mean what their plan was for a new Speaker of the House or moving an agenda in a different way, then they should have acted months ago and they did not.”

I’m glad I don’t live in her district because I’d really be ticked off if I had voted for her in 2010.

Caught on Film: GOP Rep. Renee Ellmers Curses Out and Berates Constituent

A Report on the Arrogance of Power

Video of Renee Ellmers Berating Anti-Amnesty Constituents

Also note her argument that Gohmert and Yoho should have acted months ago if they were serious about challenging Boehner, despite the fact that his final betrayal happened AFTER that VOICE VOTE. I've seen this repeated almost verbatim by other Boehner lackies, which means that it's a McCarthy/Scalise talking point.

The GOP-E can go to hell!

These people think they are entitled. They forget they are supposed to be servants of the people. The fact that they have forgotten this does not speak well for their future.

Her main issue in 2010 was Obamacare which makes sense as her husband is a surgeon in private practice.

Otherwise she was never a conservative.

She won her seat against a 7-term democrat incumbent who was the idiot caught on video pushing, shoving and threatening two students.

After the video she received attention and her contributions from conservatives spiked.

After Ellmers barely won election by less than 1%, the state republican party gerrymandered her Congressional District to shore up more votes for her so she’s now difficult to defeat. She had 3 republican primary challengers in 2014.

So she’s firmly in Boehner’s camp sucking up to the establishment benefits.

I have family and some roots in N. Carolina. I will tell them to remember this about Ellmers and to spread the word that they have false tea party conservative in their midst.

Well!At least we now know that Ms.Ellmers is nothing but a liberal Democrat who happens to be in the wrong party.

The voters in her district should be sure she gets removed from office and go’s to where she’s most familiar.

Obamacare makes everyone buy private health insurance and funnels the extra money into insurance companies and on through to health care providers, it increases Medicaid spending to funnel more money to private companies that contract to do Medicaid for government and throws the extra $$$ onto health care providers.

The secret of Obamacare is bigger paydays for big insurance companies, hospitals and health care providers.....

Elmers and her hubbie want to keep Obamacare and or tweak it to their I advantage IMHO.

Since I don’t think the plague in DC can be cured with votes, I will weigh in here. We no longer have a democracy, we definitely don’t have a Republic anymore. We actually do not really have a nation either because we have no borders.

That snake pit in DC only pretends that our votes mean something because it keeps us busy, fighting with each other, and amused while they rob us and steal our freedom.

Yeah, there are a few good guys and patriots there, but they are going to be neutered and silenced with ridicule starting today.

So, since I feel this way, I think it will be a real hilarious hoot when the likes of this smartazz Elmers type gets gobsmacked with reality in 2016.

She can strut around and whore herself to Boehner and Obama all she likes, but she is soon to go home with her forked tail between her legs.

Honest to Gawd, these people are dumber than a bag of hammers. They pay no attention to how misguided and out of touch they really are.

I can’t wait for the pure pleasure at LMAO when they get handed their pink slip.

You are right, that’s the second time I heard that “they should have acted in Nov when we caucused on this.” Nonsense. It sounds like a stupid Obama talking point that makes no sense.
Cromnibus was a betrayal pure and simple and you have squandered your right to lead.
The fact that Elmers so vocally supports Boehner makes me wonde what is in HER stock portfolio.

I'll tell you who the WHORE is, and it's not Gohmert.

It's this GOPe who wants more power handed to her from Boner.

But we already know, and have known since right after she was elected, that Renee Elmers is a sellout with no credibility.

When she first won her seat as a staunch conservative Tea Party candidate. I voted for her. Then she moved to Washington, DC and never sided with the conservatives again. She has been Boehner’s lapdog since day one. Since then, my street has been moved the seventh district instead of the 2nd. Now we have a new conservative from the 7th to keep an eye on...
