Reuters Jeff Mason and Mark Felsenthal report: John Boehner, Republican speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, said on Tuesday he would support President Barack Obama's call for military action in Syria and urged his colleagues in Congress to do the same. Speaking to reporters after a meeting with Obama at the White House, Boehner said the United States had to respond to the use of chemical weapons in Syria and show allies that America would stand up when necessary.

” SUMMING UP Obama’s got no NATO support, no US support, no Arab League support (for military action), no big powers support, and little or no support from the non-worshipful-citizen types. “

Obama in very bad trouble, so Boehner bails him out of it. Amazing!

I am sickened and disgusted that the GOP thinks so little of the people, including the military, that they will not even whimper a note of protest to Dear Leader. Sickened!

” “And at $50 billion per day for the incursion, all who support me,
Republican and Democrat, will get a cut. Should be in the
neighborhood of a few $hundred million each. “

“War-profiteering is big bucks. Just ask the ‘bombs-away neocons.” “

Boehner is now the poster boy.

I finally officially dropped my Rep. registration Friday!

I was actually surprised at how meekly some stalwarts took it when I told them why I dumped the GOP after having been a loyal Republican since Gerald Ford was in office. One in particular just looked down and agreed with everything I said (including a blistering indictment of John McCain), and I found that she was very weary of working her ass off and standing up to libs only to have the GOP-e sit around the "clubhouse" and act like cowards. In her case, she couldn't bring herself to cut the cord, having invested a lifetime in the party; but she too had finally figured out that they were not worthy of people like her. She also figured out that the Boehners and McCains actually have disdain for people like her.

Just wanted you to know that no one at the RNC is picking up the phone; you just go into telephone hell. I guess my donation to them will be treated in the same manner, it will go into donation hell and will be paid when hell freezes over

The Republican Party had a good run, but just like the play “Hello Dolly”, its time for it to shut the doors and drift away.

Please don’t mention the Libertarian Party; it sucks! Their current candidate for Governor of Virginia lacks testicular fortitude

The word is that Boehner sold out for an extra Mulligan in their next round of golf together — and one 2 feet or shorter gimme put.

He drives a hard bargain.

” I am simply at a loss otherwise to understand how any man with responsibility to his party and patriotism toward his country could behave as Boehner has.”

Simple. Boehner doesn’t care about the party, and is not a Patriot.

Ridiculous!

Bravo, sir !

I've found it cathartic, and liberating.

Let the bastards shake in their gutless boots, wondering if they have a future, after their registered base plummets by 40% and no one answers their whining beg-a-thons !

here's hoping !

Personally I hope that Putin & Russia responds and declares that Syria is a no-fly / no-cruise missle zone to the U.S. and see what 0dumb0 & his quisling demoRAT/Repub chickenhawks do in that situation! I think they would wet their panties!

More on post 144 -— the “moderate” rebels:

The al Qaeda-linked Al Nusra Front is conducting war on the Assad regime with a band of about 6,000 fighters established by jihadists in January 2012. It wants Mr. Assad to be replaced by a Sunni Islamic state.

Al Nusra knows how to move men and arms inside Syria to the point where, analysts say, they have become the most deadly force among a hodgepodge of opposition groups.

[snip]

The Congressional Research Service reported in June: “Many analysts fear that Al Qaeda in Iraq (AQ-I) also has been active in the Syrian civil war, supporting and training Sunni extremist groups in Syria.”

Asked to assess Al Nusra in its second year, a U.S. official said: “The Nusra Front is clearly playing an important role in the opposition because the group’s roughly 6,000 fighters are disciplined, well-armed and capable. They’ve also partnered effectively with other rebel brigades. However, Nusra is still just one part of a complex, multipronged opposition that doesn’t have one dominant force.”

The saddest part is that it IS believable of this crew. They are no better than obama’s Keystone Kops bunch. NO better!

There are exceptions, but all too rare!

LOL. The CBC goose steps to the party line. So this would be an order directly from the White Hut. Now the Dem game plan seems to be to leave the beltway GOP flapping in breeze with their drawers down.

Dirty, rotten, no good SOB, Boehner.

I knew the SOB would do it, just didn't figure this quick.

Mad as a hornet the rest of the day/week/year/years now.

We ain't got crap going for us!
