John Boehner daring to call Ted Cruz a jackass -- which he did at a recent fundraiser -- is emblematic of the problem.
Speaker of the House John Boehner stunned audience members Wednesday evening at a Colorado fundraiser by referring to Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz as a “jackass,” two people in attendance tell The Daily Caller.
At a Steamboat Springs event for GOP Rep. Scott Tipton, the Ohio Republican quipped that he likes how Cruz’s presidential campaign keeps “that jackass” out of Washington, and from telling Boehner how to do his job.
That remark rubbed some attendees the wrong way.
“I don’t think it’s terribly speaker-like, and I think it kind of goes against everything that Reagan ever said about disparaging Republicans,” said Ed MacArthur, the president of Native Excavating, who attended the fundraiser... Another Steamboat Springs resident confirmed Boehner’s remark: “I about fell on the floor... [t]o build coalitions to work together in Washington, D.C., you don’t start it out by calling your colleague a ‘jackass,'” she said.
In Boehner's defense, he was probably liquidly exuberant. You know, juiced. Fleemered. Poleaxed.
But this sort of thing is typical for the cowardly Republican establishment.
In 2013, Mitch McConnell said conservatives "needed a punch in the nose"; the following year, he vowed to "crush" the Tea Party and any Constitutional conservatives who dared to challenge the GOOP establishment.
Do you ever hear these clowns talking this way about the people who are actually trying to dismantle the country? Shipping assault weapons to the Mexican drug cartels? Weaponizing the IRS to attack political opponents? Unleashing millions of illegal immigrants on the citizens of the United States by Executive Order? Setting the stage for a nuclear arms race in the Middle East?
No: the vitriol is reserved for those who believe in protecting America's interests, limited government and the nation's highest law.
J.D. Winteregg, who mounted a respectable first-time challenge to John Boehner in 2014, has recruited a top-tier campaign staff, including members of Dave Brat's team. You may recall that Brat crushed the second most powerful House Republican, Eric Cantor, in 2014.

It's time to get rid of the soggy, overcooked hack known as John Boy Boehner and replace him with a person that actually has more than 12 firing neurons. And who believes in America.

Boehner is a Tom Donohoe US Chamber of Commerce sell out. He doesn't make a move without getting the thumbs up from Nancy Pelosi. Just like McConnell and Reid are in cahoots as well. The R leadership is no different than the Democrats. They lied, cheated and bribed to get Thad Cochran reelected in Mississippi. A Chris McDaniel conservative win in that state would have been devastating to the status quo that McConnell wants to keep in the senate to enable Obama's big government, cheap labor, distribution of wealth agenda. I will donate to JD Winteregg as much as I can to get rid of the traitor Boehner. Too bad McConnell isn't up for re-election until 2020 - hopefully his opponent in 2014 (Matt Bevin) will be Governor of Kentucky before 2020 and can have some influence on Kentucky voters to "Ditch Mitch" for good. I am a Cruz supporter, but if Donald Trump goes the distance and gets the nomination, I will gladly vote for him. These entrenched, corrupt politicians in both parties need to be purged from D.C.. They are a malignant cancer on conservative progress. The current entrenched Republican "leadership" are NOT Republicans with traditional Republican values and goals. They are democrats pretending to be Republicans. I.e., they are RINOs.
ReplyDeletePlease contribute a little something to JD Winteregg to help rid our America of the traitor John Boehner.
Boehner, have no fear. You will never be mistaken for a conservative.
