Payback may be coming for congressman's 'disloyalty'
Columbus Dispatch ^

Posted on 07/28/2011 3:26:01 PM PDT by Windy City Conservative

U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan's open defiance of Speaker John Boehner's efforts to solve the debt-ceiling crisis could cost the Urbana Republican his safe seat in next year's election.

Two Republican sources deeply involved in configuring new Ohio congressional districts confirmed to The Dispatch today that Jordan's disloyalty to Boehner has put him in jeopardy of being zeroed out of a district.

"Jim Jordan's boneheadedness has kind of informed everybody's thinking," said one of the sources, both of whom spoke only on condition of anonymity. "The easiest option for everybody has presented itself."

Jordan's rural 11-county district, which has a 60 percent Republican voter index, "is easy to cannibalize because it stretches so far," said the other source.

Hopefully the voters will rid the house of Mr Boehner in 2012!

If Boner does that, he puts his own seat in jeporady. The Rinos still have not figured it out. The socialist days are over. Everyone is sick of them. Rinos put the stupid in the stupid party.

It is being reported on Fox that the House GOP is threatening any hold outs with retribution if they do not vote for the Bohner bill tonight.

The holdouts will be just fine, we the people will see to it. Tonight is not a “make or break” moment for their careers, it is a make or break moment for the House Leaders careers.

Apparently the GOP leaders all missed the message of last election. Keep this crap up GOP Establishment and we will primary you into retirement just like we did a bunch of your fellow political dinosaurs in 2010.

House republicans should be graded on election day upon their actions on these issues. Cleanse the party of non-conservatives! I intend to contribute to any opponent of Boehner in 2012, no matter what the outcome of this issue is. He is not worthy of the position he holds and has confirmed that to any conservative paying attention.

That’s ok. He can come to Centerville and take that idiot Mike Turner’s seat. He’s a reliable RINO.

Jim Jordan is my Congressman. If Boehner and DeWine pull this trick, until my last breath I will work against their political life.
