A new bombshell report from Politico found that House Speaker John Boehner had several days of secret negotiations with Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, the recently emboldened former Speaker, leading up to his decision to flip-flop and fund President Obama’s executive amnesty—including a pre-hashed out deal to use the hoopla around Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Tuesday address to Congress over Iran’s nuclear ambitions as political cover to sneak in the extraordinarily controversial vote. Even with the bombshell report, however, Boehner’s office continues to deny any deal took place.

This has nothing to do with weakness.
The big donors want amnesty and Boehner wants the big donors, the same ones that the Democrats are after.
I’m so sick of hearing about how “cowardly” guys like Boehner are. You want to see balls and tenacity? Just try to get between Boehner and a million dollar donor.
Well, no kidding. I think that was obvious the moment we heard of it.
So, the question is, does Boehner survive as Speaker?
Because this is pretty much an open betrayal. Another. I wondered where Boehner had found his backbone when he didn't back down on Netanyahu. Now I know, he found it in Nancy Pelosi's purse where he keeps it.
If Republicans can't remove this guy from his position... and why would they? They just reconfirmed him in that position, and they are the ones who capitulated with his help... if this is GOP then I suppose I'm not.
God help us. There is no opposition party. They have sold out from top to bottom. I just saw the other thread where 300 Repubs signed an amicus brief to the court favoring homosexual marriage. If they are Republicans then I am not.
The Republicans need to go. They knew Boehner supported Obama, that he thwarted Republicans, that more than 500,000 letters from constituents opposing Boehner as Speaker - they made him Speaker again anyway.
He shouldn’t be Speaker.
He should be thrown out of the party - but they like him. They made him Speaker again. Republicans gotta go. All of them.
Like that was so hard to figure out. When will all the GOP supporters realize that the GOP is really the Democrat Party in disguise. If the GOP really and genuinely pursued their stated principles, they would be out of business in a fortnight. How could the GOP possibly stay in business if they actually fought to defund the interest groups from which they derive their sustenance? Get real.
Why should anyone believe anything coming from Politico? I haven’t read the thread but I imagine it’s populated with the same “I hate Boehner” handles as usual.
Amen brother.
I was wondering why Boehner seemed like he was willing to buck 0bama over Netanyahu...
I bet 0bama was in on the planning too, and all those bastards in D.C. are laughing at having ‘put one over’ on all of us peasants.
Boehner spokesman Michael Steele: “There was no ‘deal’ of any kind,” Boehner spokesman Michael Steel told Breitbart News on Thursday night in response to French’s article, noting that he’s said that repeatedly since Friday night.
Anyone remember 2011 on the Rush Limbaugh show?
“Well, Rush, there is no deal,” Boehner said on the radio show. “No deal publicly. No deal privately. There is absolutely no deal.” Which we later found out was a lie, after Obama moved the goalposts.
When Hanen kills Amnesty, and (praying) Roberts and Kennedy kill zerocare, it will be simple to replace Mitch and Boehner, since what they’ve betrayed us over will gone.
They will have no more chips.
I hope I run into him when the EMP hits. I will build a faraday cage and put a woodchipper in it in the meantime.
Only a military Dictatorship can reset this Republic.
The sooner the better.
Well ... that’s not going to happen ... obviously.
I’m wary of taking anything from Politico at face value, but two things are irrefutable: Boehner did cave, and he did do so on the day when Netanyahu’s speech dominated the Congress and the news. Those two facts alone are reason enough for him to be out as speaker.
If he worked a backroom deal with Pelosi (eww, that came out wrong, LOL), then it only comfirms Boehner is worse than useless. He’s the John McCain of the House - a Republican actively working against conservative interests and doing damage instead of helping the cause.
Time to go, Johnny. Take your tears and your Tang-tan and hit the bricks.
Those must be some really revealing pictures Team 0bama has of Boehner.
AND...So what else is new? The crybaby, alcoholic, bonehead sells us out again!
He could be easily replaced with a tape recording that says "yes" to the democrats all day, evey day!
