Of course they are being blackmailed, but they are willing to put personal ambition ahead of what is best for the country if they submit to the blackmail.
If Boehner is so compromised that he is openly working against his own constituency then maybe the conservative media needs to dig up this dirt, release it and force the traitor out.
Yes, quite true.
And I’m still waiting for General Petraeus to step forward and tell what he knows.
For example, where was Obama, hour by hour, from dusk til dawn, on Benghazi 9-11?
Here is a four-star general, a combat general, “Duty, Honor, Country” and all of that, who was blackmailed and then kicked aside when he didn’t play ball eagerly enough by Team Obama. He knows what went on. He knows his deputy Mike Morell back-stabbed him. He knows what Brennan did and how he got his job as DCIA.
Where is your book, General Petraeus? Where is your honor and your integrity?
I agree.

Thanks ;)
5 Elmer will need a bigger gun. Where is an elephant gun when it is needed. John Bonehead has a target on his backside.
6 Duh, it’s what fascist dictators do, they dictate. Republican leadership are all fascist/socialists, just like all the democrat leaders. ...
10 They can’t get Boehner out. Any congress critter who even HINTS at a leadership vote gets torpedoed and loses his committee seats etc.
14 The fix is always in. Between lobbyists combined with lucrative committee assignments...not to mention a little NSA thrown into the mix, the same ones always manage to get (re)elected as *leaders*.

A little trip down John Boehner's Memomry Lane (courtesy of Wikipedia) ...
From 1995 to 1999, Boehner served as House Republican Conference Chairman which is the party caucus for Republicans in the United States House of Representatives. In this post, he was the 4th-ranking House Republican, behind Gingrich, Majority Leader Dick Armey and Majority Whip Tom DeLay.
In the summer of 1997 several House Republicans, who saw Speaker Newt Gingrich's public image as a liability, attempted to replace him as Speaker. The attempted "coup" began July 9 with a meeting between Republican conference chairman Boehner and Republican leadership chairman Bill Paxon of New York. According to their plan, House Majority Leader Dick Armey, House Majority Whip Tom DeLay, Boehner and Paxon were to present Gingrich with an ultimatum: resign, or be voted out. However, Armey balked at the proposal to make Paxon the new Speaker, and told his chief of staff to warn Gingrich about the coup.
On July 11, Gingrich met with senior Republican leadership to assess the situation. He explained that under no circumstance would he step down. If he was voted out, there would be a new election for Speaker, which would allow for the possibility that Democrats—along with dissenting Republicans—would vote in Dick Gephardt as Speaker. On July 16, Paxon offered to resign his post, feeling that he had not handled the situation correctly. Paxon was the only unelected member of the leadership group, having been appointed to his position by Gingrich.
In 1998, Boehner was ousted as the chairman of the House Republican Conference, after his party lost 5 congressional seats.

Post of the YEAR!
Ping.
I share your dream.
The 2015 Good Old Boy Club will now come to order....
Good historical info on Bonehead. I still say he is a Dim plant.
Bookmark Ping to Sarah's List.

However It's good to see a different take on this. Sarah and America is sick to death of The Uniparty's Incestuous Funding of each others Pork Projects, among others, the worst is funding Ubama's Amnesty Decree and Fully Funding Deathcare.
Enough!
Alternate rallying cry: “I HAVE HAD ENOUGH” - front. On the back, just Boehner, McConnell, Roberts, McCain, Graham and “ALL TRAITORS”.
START THE SECOND PARTY NOW. THE WHIGS COMMITTED SUICIDE.
Mine, Gosar, is there. Good for him. He stood up to a lot of pressure.
That’s my dream ticket right there..been that way since I first saw Ted Cruz..he and Sarah Palin together..yes I can dream :-)
“4th-ranking House Republican, behind Gingrich, Majority Leader Dick Armey and Majority Whip Tom DeLay.”
Note that since then, Dick Armey has retired, and both Gingrich and Delay were forced out of office by Democrat “scandal” tactics.
Gingrich was forced out for an affair, which is almost always overlooked for Democrats; Delay forced out on made-up charges by a Democrat prosecutor in Austin. They were eventually thrown out, but *after* DeLay was forced out of office. The prosecutor had to convene several grand juries to find one that would indict.
If you want statesmen instead of politicians to run things in DC as well as the State and local levels you have to look for a leader with
(Listed in priority)
1. Good character and maturity,
2. Competency and skills for the job,
3. Good communication skills,
4. Commitment to staying loyal to their constituency and getting the job done despite the risks, obstacles, challenges and adversities,
5. And is a dedicated anti-collectivist, independent-thinking and doing conservative.
Of course, it takes good, conservative parents to raise children who can become those future leaders.
Conservatives need to become the leaders politically but in all of the storytelling industries - religion, government, education, and the media.
He who controls the conversation controls the people.
