John Boehner Is Scared Conservatives Are Gaining Momentum

John Boehner is scared conservatives are beginning to gain traction on the issue of defunding Obamacare. How do I know?

David Winston is rigging a poll to get some desired results.

Winston is a John Boehner adviser and his preferred pollster. In fact, internally, some Republicans grouse that Beohner uses Winston to direct his lead on issues instead of just . . . well, you know. . . leading.

Check out David Winston’s poll question.

In a national survey of 1,000 registered voters done July 31 and August 1, the question, from pollster David Winston, said,

“Some members of Congress have proposed shutting down the government as a way to defund the president’s health care law”

and asked respondents whether they favored or opposed that plan.

Ted Cruz has not proposed shutting down the government.

Mike Lee has not proposed shutting down the government.

Congressman Meadows has not proposed shutting down the government.

In fact, everyone who supports defunding Obamacare has been very clear that they’ll vote for a continuing resolution, just not for Obamacare funding. If the government shuts down over that, it would be Barack Obama insisting his health care plan nobody wants gets funded.

The GOP Leaders have placed themselves in a no-win situation. It is not of conservative doing. They have refused to fight on Obamacare despite rhetoric otherwise and then gone out and pre-emptively spun against themselves any government shutdown.

This is all John Boehner’s doing. And, like his debt ceiling deal, it will probably blow up in his face.

You conservatives fight fire with fire and hire a pollster to ask the better questions and use twice the base.

I keep wondering if there are NO conservatives/Tea Party Ohioans, in his district, willing to challenge this quisling.

When to end medical care should be as it always has been; up to the families of the loved one.
