Speaker Boehner

The tea party people are dismayed at the performance of Boehner in this last budget extension. He caved like the old days showing he is more like Denny Hastert than a Tip O'Neil. He does not get the idea that elites (of which he is one) are no longer going to be tolerated as making the decisions to increase spending. The media is already patting him on back and saying what a great Speaker he is. They are trying to convince the tea party that they have a great leader. They of course did that when they wanted John McCain to be our presidential candidate, praising him as often as they could. It is time to can Boehner and get a new speaker that does understand what moves are necessary to get us out of this huge fiscal problem the U.S. has. The pussyfooting has to stop, this is serious, the country is going down the drain. We need true leadership and not what the media points out is good for the Republican Party. Today, I received a request for a donation to the Republican Party and I wrote them that I would not give until Boehner is gone. I am sending my first donation to the Tea Party instead.

  • The media wanted McCain? I thought Obama had them in his pocket. That what I get for watching FOX.

  • At the time of candidate selection the media was raving over the senator that was not afraid to cross over the isle and compromise with the democrats. They loved his liberal tendencies and praised him as the best the republicans could offer. Of course, once he was chosen as the republican standard bearer they voted for Obama.

  • It has been said that you should never follow advice offered by your enemies. Too many rank and file republicans and politicians don't understand that. In the last 25 years whenever republicans ran a conservative for president (Reagan, Bush) they won. When they ran a "middle of the road" compromiser (McCain, Dole) they lost.

    Left wing liberal media always "support" the least conservative republican candidate and ridicules and maligns conservative candidates. Apparently Fox News does not follow the crowd so left wing liberal media also ridicules them. Today liberal media and Hollywood elite are maligning Palin, DeMint, Bachmann and even Alan West, a black conservative congressman. My conservative republican "dream team" is Alan West president and Michele Bachmann vice president.

    Unfortunately most politicians consider their reelection their top priority so they avoid controversial decisions that the media might label extreme. This is one more good argument for term limits.

  • John, I share your pick, I think Allen West is dynamite.
