Boehner: It hurts when critics call me 'spineless, or a squish'
The Washington Exmainer ^ | January 8, 2015 | DAVID M. DRUCKER

House Speaker John Boehner on Thursday displayed emotional candor rare for a national leader, acknowledging to reporters that it stings when critics call him "spineless" or a "squish."

(snip)

Boehner said: “During my years here when I voted, I had the eight most conservative voting record in the Congress. And, it does pain me to be described as spineless, or a squish. And, I tell you what pains me the most is when they describe me as the establishment. Now, I’m the most anti-establishment speaker we’ve ever had. Who was the guy who got rid of earmarks? Me. Whose the guy that believes in regular order? Me. Who believes in allowing more members to participate in the process, from both sides of the aisle? Me.”

Then why the Hell don’t you do everything you can to OPPOSE Liberal Legislation, Mr. Boehner?

1 Tillion dollars that funds Obamacare and Amnesty (along with all kind of other ‘goodies’ for your pals) doesn’t count!~

Hey Johnny-boy,

It hurts MILLIONS of American CITIZENS when you guys get elected to STOP the socialist takeover and after you get there, you SCREW US OVER to serve yourself.

You spineless creep. You dirty, corrupt, sorry excuse of a man.

You are altogether pitiful. You’ll get no pity from us.

I’m sure it also hurts when taken from behind by Kid Kenyan.

He is an arogant asshat towards conservatives and squishy when dealing with threats to freedom and the Constitution.

Mr. Boehner, try these on for size to see if you can find a better description of your leadership abilities: 1) clueless, 2) gutless, 3) brainless, 4) not observed, 5) aimless, 6) shameless, 7) pandering, 8) insulting, 9) collaborator. You have emulated all the leadership of Vidkun Quisling and the Norwegians carried out the death penalty on him after WW2 ended for his dealings with the Nazis.

...Now, I’m the most anti-establishment speaker we’ve ever had...

Representative Boehner, actions speak louder than words. And your actions condemn you as an appeaser of this anti-American Administration and its Democrat party.

What do they say, if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.

We have things to do, and places to be. If you are not part of the solution, you automatically become part of the problem.

Lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.
