The whole problem is that the Republicans allow the mainstream media to set the narrative. There are plenty of responses Boehner could have come up with besides that weak and evasive answer. Like look, we want more evidence from Obama on his Hawaiin birth and if he can’t produce it, he’s in trouble. The Consitution requires it.
The Republican Party are cowards, intimidated by the Democrats and their media agents into doing just what the Dems want on this issue. Hopeless.
And the so called Conservative pundits who likewise bo the Dems bidding on this are betraying us as well.
The other problem is that we, as a party, only control 1/2 of 1/3 of the government. As such, we need to pick and fight our battles wisely. Boehner doesn’t strike me as the kind of guy that goes rushing onto the field of battle like a crazed berserker swinging his axe at everything in his path. I think he’s more likely the sort that pats you on the back during the day and tells you how much he likes your tie and then goes into his office to arrange for his minions to destroy you. Right now, that’s what we need IMO, a hidden fist, not an iron fist. I will judge this congress by it’s outcomes, not its words.
“The Republican Party are cowards, intimidated by the Democrats and their media agents”
Yep. Like they say, its tough to score points when you’re always playing defense.
