WASHINGTON Hours after House Speaker John Boehner announced that he would be resigning from Congress, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz added fuel to the fire by saying hed heard early reports that Boehner cut a deal with Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi to continue funding some of President Barack Obamas most controversial measures.
I will say, the early reports are discouraging. If it is correct that the speaker, before he resigns, has cut a deal with Nancy Pelosi to fund the Obama administration for the rest of its tenure, to fund Obamacare, to fund executive amnesty, to fund Planned Parenthood, to fund implementation of this Iran deal and then, presumably, to land in a cushy K Street job after joining with the Democrats to implement all of President Obamas priorities, that is not the behavior one would expect of a Republican speaker of the House, Cruz told reporters at the conservative Values Voter Summit in Washington.
The speakers office did not immediately respond to an inquiry from TheBlaze about Cruzs charge.

Full title: Ted Cruz Slams Outgoing John Boehner Over Early Reports That He Cut a Deal With Nancy Pelosi Before Resigning
Well, ain't that innerestin'?

Why would Boehner have to cut a deal with Pelosi. Makes no sense.
Bttt
Get Out Now john.

The next couple rounds of congressional elections will be real interesting. We’ve seen the Tea Party win in the past — but nothing ever changed. I’m hoping that a lot of fresh blood comes into the legislature and that it wants to engage in rough-and-tumble with the Left.

“to land in a cushy K Street job “ Like Yeb and Lehman brothers.
Cruz has been on the money so far. It looks like Bonehead may be getting ready to screw us one last time, and royally.

A new cromnibus “clean” crap sandwich will probably only be passed with Democratic and RINO votes.

I don't plan to hold still and just let it happen without a complaint.
To: TruthWillWin
The fact he has always been a leftist explains it easier/no live boys/dead girls needed.
To: Slings and Arrows
Need to see the votes now, while there is still time to primary RINOs.

If she does, so do others.
To: Sacajaweau
Why would Boehner have to cut a deal with Pelosi. To get Democrat votes.
To: Resettozero
And do what? This is exactly what lesser evil idiocy got conservatives.
Now we take the pain. We made our bed here electing him.
To: TruthWillWin
She has damaging information about him? That would explain lt. PSSSSST: Boehner is worried that Nancy might tell people he's an alcoholic. If that secret ever got out, he'd just die of embarassment!

Who is this "we" to whom you refer?
To: Resettozero
“We” the collective right wing. “WE” as in America”.
“WE” did this to ourselves. Maybe you didn’t. I didn’t”. But “WE” the right, did.
NO MATTER WHAT! Remember?
To: Slings and Arrows
WE, the American Public needs to see these deals that boner did and was doing...ALL of them...We pay your wages and we are the boss, so hand them over!!!

This time, Norm, you've lost me. I thought you were talking about electing Boehner which very few FReepers, if any, had a hand in doing.
Perhaps I've gotten a whiff of Boehner's breath and have become intoxicated because I do not understand what you are saying to me.
