Maxine Waters: Boehner and Cantor ‘Demons’

Maxine Waters reminded us today that, should Democrats win back the House, she is in line to become the next chairwoman of the Financial Services Committee. If that doesn’t scare you, then just watch this video. In it, she calls Speaker John Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor “demons” who “would rather do whatever they can to destroy this president, rather than for the good of this country.”

She also told listeners, “Don’t ever let me see again in life those Republicans in our hall on our screens talking about anything.” Anything?

Aren't there rules of decorum in the House of Representatives? And isn't there a rule about bringing the House into disrepute?

Speaker Boehner is personally attacked here. Why doesn't he use his authority to bring Maxine Waters in line?

I am sick to death of elected Republicans, who do not defend themselves, defend the Constitution and defend me and my rights. Boehner must go and be replaced with a fighter and defender. He's either incompetent or on the other side.

It's wisdom to not respond to the rantings of a lunatic. You dignify the loon when you do that, and make them seem more important then they are. I think Boehner and Cantor are right to ignore this mental case. Why give the witch the attention she craves, or make her think that somehow she struck a nerve? Better to just hang her crass, ignorant remarks out there as is being done very well by talk radio and let public scorn take care of the rest. To get into a pissy contest with a mental invalid like Maxine Waters only drags you down to her level. Let her spew her sewage--she'll be laughed at like the clown she is without Boehner having to make her feel like she's got him on a string.

The lunatic is a member of Congress. Does the House have rules for members, who bring disrepute to the House? If yes, Boehner should take action.

Which returns to my point that elected Republicans are cowards unless proven otherwise. They do not defend themselves, the Constitution or us. What good are they?
