Now we know why Boehner’s always crying.
So, bonehead, what do they have on you?
You are probably not wrong and that same type of threat likely encompasses much of the GOP and as others have noted...potentially the Supreme Court...
But in a lot ways we need to hold ourselves to blame for them essentially being blackmailed. How is that you say? We try to hold mortal men up to a perfect standard. Consider for a moment all the candidates that attempted to run for the Presidency. Conservatives and especially Republicans hold themselves to a near impossible standard on principles and morality. While admirable, our liberal buddies...cash-in on our guilt.
Fast forward to today and your statement. No one in the GOP can cast the first stone, because all have failed at some point, taken some bribe, etc. So ...all the nation suffers this corruption, this rot from within.
Even a new party would have just mere mortals as candidates, so what should we do? Be like Jesus and tell them to go and sin no more? Be like the court system and give them immunity in exchange for the information needed to stop the regime?
These politicians in DC are mere mortal men, not gods, not perfect and yet we expect them to be...and are always disappointed. We need to be careful our expectations are not unreasonable to the point that they are crippling the party from doing its duty.
What could they possibly have on Senator McBackstabber and his girlfriend, Ms. Lindsay Graham???? Such a beautiful couple.
Remember that it is not only dirt on the target - but can include dirt on the family and friends of the target. Lil’ Megs McStupid?
