CBS/AP) CINCINNATI — A tea party activist is challenging U.S. House Speaker John Boehner in the 2012 Republican primary.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that David Lewis announced his candidacy on Friday.
Lewis, 26, is the father of a 2-year-old girl, and says he plans to run on a single issue — Boehner's support of a federal budget that includes funding for Planned Parenthood, which he calls "the largest killer of unborn babies in America."
Lewis told the newspaper he plans to run graphic...

I gave you examples of how Boehner is changing things but you are not listening. So typical.
We'll see where things stand after Boehner wins a few more rounds (this jobs bill will be another but you and others will find a reason to pooh-pooh his win) and especially after Repubs their increase majorities. Bye bye.
No, you have given me mostly Boehner hopey changey. The rounds Boehner wins had better be BIG rounds. And he needs to win them NOW, and not on the chance that he will get a majority later.
"especially after Repubs their increase majorities. Bye bye."
You can't COUNT on that! It might not happen! I want a leader who will fight the best fight he can now, with what he has, and not on what he MIGHT have in the future. And so far, BOEHNER is NOT that leader!
No wonder you’re recovering. This guy needs 100% support from us. Boner will probably go off and cry. 26, young and a tea partier. We need more of him. Go skidadle off support for Huntsman. Your rallying cry should be ‘compassionate conservative’.
How did that work out?
For crying out loud, we’re done with the wimps, we’re done with the compassionate conservatives. We want real men. We’re tired of the GOP, we’re tired of the rinos.
We’re going to promote and elect conservatives.
They will win.
He has no chance, he doesn’t even live in Boner’s district.
There is NO way this guy will ever beat Boehner.
That’s not the point shield.
Someone is actually challenging Boehner; that’s the point.
When notified of Lewis’ candidacy, Boehner sobbed incoherently.
Absolute idiocy.
A great way to spread us too thin and ensure Obama’s reelection by having Peed Off Tea Party people stay home on election day!
Not really I have been posting since 1997 I moved so I changed my screen name. RINO lover might be a better moniker for you.
Because of a challenge to Boehner?? Isn't that just a bit of an over-reaction? We are still 17 months out and you mean to tell me that people are going to stay home because David Lewis is challenging Boehner?
hmmmm....interesting. Going now to review the Novemeber eleiction and the NY election.
Ditto!
He needs to run on more than a single issue. Boehner is vulnerable on more than abortion.
‘I LOVE THAT GRAPHIC’
Ditto - excellent!
Boehner needs to be replaced as the SOTH...that’s the point not somebody running against him that doesn’t have a china’s chance in hell to beat him.

Really????
Don't like murder? Fine, don't practice it, but don't let your aversion to the practice cause you to deny the right of someone else to get rid of someone they find inconvenient.
Don't like theft? Fine, don't practice it, but don't let your aversion to the practice cause you to hold the gun to someone's head who just needs to do a little stealin' to feed their family
Don't like extortion, don't like rape, don't like slavery, don't like terrorism, fine, don't practice it, but don't deny others the right to "do what they want with their own bodies". I mean hey, let's be tolerant here.

When you impose your will on someone else, you are using force, violence, the acts of war, to effect the change. Make sure that the ends justify the carnage you inflict..
So wanting to pass laws to protect the innocent children who experiencing genocide in this country is using "force and violence"?

My dear and one of the most respected posters on FR, please clarify this post. SOTH? Nobody has a china’s chance in hell?
It’s been a long day....please clarify ((shield))
Do you know why?
Because IT’S TRUE! :)
I have yet to see an health insurance claim for murder, theft, extortion, slavery, and terrorism. And what about rape; what would you ask the health insurance company to do there? Yet pregnancy is routinely covered by health insurance, by "treatment" in hospitals. That suggests that pregnancy is a health condition, and a preventable one at that -- or haven't you seen both condoms and birth control pills?
Of all the crimes listed above, only pregnancy is one that does not involve one person imposing his or her will by force on another, and where the victim doesn't ask to be tortured, raped, terrorized, or deprived liberty or earned possessions. And YOU, personally, can be the target of every single crime listed here, except one. (Unless the perp has a time machine.)
We sometimes forget that pregnancy can kill. Mother. Baby. Sometimes both.
If there is a stillbirth, is that murder? If not, why not?
One reason I think that abortion is between a mother and the baby, AND NO ONE ELSE EXCEPT GOD, is because sometimes there is no perfect outcome.
Oh, yes, how about the unwanted baby, particularly one conceived in an act of rape? Most abortion foes I know say "Tough luck, sweetie, that's the way the cookie crumbles." Theft of an independent life. Or, how many babies have you adopted?
I'm for fewer laws. Crimes of violence against active members of society are the few I stand still for.
