The national Democrats and their principal ally in the popular press have signaled their plan for holding back the electoral tide on November 2: They will attempt to demonize John Boehner.
I believe they will find, as King Canute proved nearly 1,000 years ago, that no ruler (or Speaker of the House) is so strong that she can hold back a tide.
The New York Times has an article in its Sunday editions that ties U.S. Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) (pronounced BAY-nur) to high profile lobbyists in Washington. To prove his point, reporter Eric Lipton leads with his best punch:
"House Democrats were preparing late last year for the first floor vote on the financial regulatory overhaul when Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio and other Republican leaders summoned more than 100 industry lobbyists and conservative political activists to Capitol Hill for a private strategy session."
Note: I was not included in that nor in any other strategy session.

Just proves more and more the disdain the RATs hold for We The People and the fact that they think we’re morons. The Ruling Class RATs must be defeated or we lose our freedom and we become slaves and our children and grandchildrens future will have been destroyed.

Includes of course the Ruling Class RINO’s. Have to make that distinction as some overlook the Left hiding within the Right, and focus only on the RATS.
Gotta git those RINO’s. They are the stealth Left.
Thanks, but I don’t do Vids. I have no access other than dial up out here in the sticks, and it takes the day to load up even a short video, so I don’t bother trying anymore. Wish I could.
Thanks again.
The Democrats OR the FRaliaban?
RINOs are puke RATs in hiding.
Good point. Boehner is a punching bag for the purist wing.
Then there is Diane Feinstein, whose husband makes a tidy profit off the wars. He has ties to companies that benefit greatly from military spending. I wonder how many of her liberal constituents know that?
