Boehner Looking More Like Benedict Arnold of Republican Party

Written on by V2A, Filed under

When the Republican Party regained control of the House of Representatives in the 2010 election, John Boehner (R-OH) became Speaker of the House.  At that time, Boehner spoke about how he and the Republican controlled House would stand up against the path that President Obama and the Democrats had been leading our country down.

In one of the first stand offs, many of the newly elected Republican House members stood firm on the debt crisis.  They were determined to keep their campaign promises by cutting spending and the national debt.  Under Boehner’s leadership, the Republican House eventually made compromises with the Democratic controlled Senate and the president to avert a government shutdown and supposed default on the national debt loan payments.

Then on the payroll tax cuts, the Republican House insisted on passing a measure to extend them through the end of 2012.  The Democratic Senate only wanted a two month extension.  Once again, a number of freshman Republicans in the House vowed to stand firm on their demand for a one year extension.  And once again, Boehner slithered off to the White House to negotiate with the President.  He came back with another capitulation measure as he bowed to the pressures of the Democrats once again.

    My fellow conservatives, please send Boehners office an email concerning your disapproval about his back door tactics to get Holder off. I just sent an email and it was not very complimentary of Boehner. This clown needs to know we know he is a traitor and will be replaced.

    A lady bought a new Lexus & it cost a bundle. Two days later, she brought it back,
    complaining that the radio was not working.

    "Madam," said the sales manager, "the audio system in this car is completely automatic.
    All you need to do is tell it what you want to listen to, and you will hear exactly that!"

    She drove out, somewhat amazed and a little confused. She looked at the radio and said,
    "Nelson." The radio responded, "Ricky or Willie?" She was astounded. If she wanted
    Beethoven, that's what she got. If she wanted Nat King Cole, she got it.

    She was stopped at a traffic light enjoying "On The Road Again" when the light turned
    green and she pulled out. Suddenly an enormous sports utility vehicle coming from
    the street she was crossing sped toward her, obviously not paying attention to the light.
    She swerved and narrowly missed a collision.

    "Idiot!" she yelled and, from the radio, "Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States."

    Yes, he is a turncoat and a sorry excuse of a leader. He will be gone and then he will start crying all over again on how the American people through him our.

    Our tearful compromiser-in-chief, and others in the Republican "establishment", have been in Washington far too long. He's still reeling from the tea party sweep in 2010 that rocked his cozy, manageable RINO majority.

  • ONTIME

    If Mitt cannot stand at the lectern and speak in a clear conservative way of repealing obamacare, supporting the 2nd amendment and speak of small government, then he is still more RINO than we need…RINO = a closet liberal.

    Boehner is a jellyfish without a backboehner.

    Boehner is from Ohio and I am from Ohio, and Boehner has a back bone of Jelly, mine is made of Steel like most people in Ohio. How the heck this spineless Jelly Fish got elected is beyond me! OHHH, I know, he was in elected in the Cleveland area, the weakest minded people in Ohio. Most of them even even voted for Obama.

    My new congressman voted in last election 2010 voted to pass the NDAA. I think my senators did also. I am voting against them all as soon as they come up for re-election again. Right now the people of this country are in need of a real leader. The only one that will make me happy to vote this November is always being put down. But I think as the days wear on and the worse the economy gets Ron Paul will appeal to more people. He does to me. Right now in his new budget Obama wants $800 million dollars to hwlp the countries who suffered through the Arab Spring. We how about all of us who are suffering through the Obama Fall. Just who is gonna help us till we can vote this man out? Will enough people wake up and vote for Ron Paul before we get stuck with Wimpy Moderate Romney. How many times has he run for president now? We passed him over before. Why are so many people so determined to vote for a loser when they can have Dr Paul.Vote for the one who is steadily gaing all the time. No flip flops. Just steady and true patriotisim.

    Boehner's actions surely have the odor of a traitor, however he may be yielding to blackmail, which has an almost identical odor. The end results will be the same. At one point it seemed that Conservatives were beginning to realize that the problem was the "old boy network(s)" in Congress and the WH, which can only be improved by their ouster and at least less tainted blood introduced. Well, we continue to blow that by letting the media (et al) convince us to ignore better
    choices, women included, and once again choosing from politicians like Romney, Gingrich, Boehner, and the pretender bho.

    I view political actions since 2008 (and more so each passing day) as similar to defusing massive ordnance. The more often it succeeds, the more careless one becomes, and you only get one slip. The results are instant not spread over time so that you may step out of the way. Political moves are getting much bolder and I think a slip is not far away. It might pay to give some thought to which way you should jump when it happens.

    How many of you noticed the small news item that Uncle is using software to detect terrorists and "uprisings"? My guess is that every blog on the net goes through the mill. Now why should they be watching the second item? Expectations?

    Bone Head Boehner is in nobamas pocket and has been from the beginning. Boehner, the big talking Republican is a big talker until it comes down to business, then he falls right in line with the democrats everytime. With Boehner, a Raw Deal is Predestined. BoneHead Boehner, McConnell and canter need to be voted out of office. They are 3 peas in a pod that have betrayed their people and their party.
