Too bad he always seems at war with the  base. Obama never rips the people that elect him.

      In the words of a song, "That's what happens, when two worlds collide."

      John Boehner talks of professionalism out of one side of his mouth, then demonstrates with
his actions is that his political career is all about John Boehner and his allies, how they can turn
the system and events to their own advantage. It's kind of sad, really, to know there are leaders at
the top level who can only see, (as John demonstrates with his comments about the Tea Party, political
activism as one or another approach to a fraudulent scheme. John's claim is the Tea Party is all
about how much money its leaders can fleece from the ranks, has nothing to do with the differences
about the practices of the official GOP,) things from that perspective. Sadly, that is the way it is.
Reid, Pelosi, Feinstein, Christie, JEB, all fall into that category.

      There really is nothing underhanded or sinister about the million or so cards and letters to Republicans
asking for a leadership change. When a coalition goes to that extent to get the vote out and the Senate changes hands, is it sinister that those voters would want to replace a leader who hates them, who has
such a horrible opinion of them? Get over it, John, it is just politics, nothing personal. The more he acts
like a petty tyrant, the worse he makes the party look. Then again, look at who he looks up to in Wash. DC.

He seems to be comfortable with the DC elite.

Red like it or not, he's my representative though. Duly elected by the folks here. Like the President, he is our President like it or not.

However, the people have every right to "beat the dickens out of him" should the people decide they wish to effect a political change. We have a Constitution which guarantees that right of the people.

Who is he to tell them they are wrong for doing so?

Remember, this next election, write me in on the ballot! lol 

And with that I have to go ladies and gents. this medication they gave me for my back problems has really been fucking with me hard....Cya's later on

Boo that is not funny. This man is representing to the people that he is not.

When it's time for an election suddenly he leaves home in Washington, runs back here to cincy, and suddenly becomes a conservative who believes in  our Constitution and Constitutional government and yes.....and thank you for blowing up out screens with the scrolling sig 

When we as a nation, lose our representation within our own government, we lose our country.

I've said many times that John Boehner must have something going for him.  After all, the House members are the creme de la creme and their wish is that he lead.   From the point of view of the constituency, how do you beat  having your rep as party leader?   Of course the people are going to keep electing him. So would I, if I lived there.

I have also said many a time that the Tea Party didn't pick a fight with John. It was the other way around.
What do you call people who cannot stand any criticism?   This so-called beating up on John Boehner is BS.
Let's not forget the approval rating of Congress is deplorable. Blame that on a million Constitutional activists? Obama is running over Congress like its not there.  Ted Cruz objects. Trey Gowdy objects. How much of that disapproval can be traced to that point?   We'll never know, will we? That's because leadership does not allow discussion of that point.

In business, if 20% of the customer feedback was coming back negative, management would go ballistic. How can 75% negative feedback be acceptable? Only in government, where the leaders see themselves as little idols.

Keep those cards and letters coming!

WILL DO!!

John Boehner is a true BLUE member of what used to be called "Country Club Republicans".  Such people can be very conservative on some things, yet they belong to the same "club" as members of the elite Oligarchy, from every political view.  (and do their business mainly on the golf course).  In my home state, Nelson Rockefeller was a great example of a Country Club Republican.  People like Boehner and Rockefeller view their constituents as being the good old boys in the back room of the exclusive club they belong to. In order to remain a member in good standing with this club, they are expected (required) to deliver on whatever the club wishes.  Sometimes these wishes coincide with the Republican (rabble) base and other times they are completely contrary to (our) positions.   On balance, they get a lot of what we want done, but they always frustrate us because they never can be trusted to deliver anything they promise "to us", since their alliegance is to a group of good old boys in a smokey back room.

By the way, the good old boys (in the back room) must be pretty pissed at Obama's power grab.  Even though they want the cheap labor of illegal aliens, even if it means a "path to (the promise of) citizenship, to placate the activists and treat them like mushrooms (keep them in the dark and feed them shit), the Oligarchs don't want any individual in their cabal , to gain so much power that they themselves, become irrelevant.  Boehner's job is to punish Obama...until he falls back into the line they have drawn!  If Obama knock off his Dictatorship, they will again play ball with him (and that means more than golfing with him as a member of the same club)

If Boehner is punishing Obama now id hate to see when he  likes  Obama
