This could very well be the issue that gives rise to that third party so many here have been craving...

Email Boehner at
http://www.speaker.gov/Contact/

Cal his office and leave message as they are getting hammered.

My submittal....now tailoring for my Senator and personal Congresscritter.


I am County GOP central committee a past GOP County Chair.
You will finally rupture the party if you support Obama’s crack pot attack on Syria.....failure to defund Obamacare will do the rest.

-Syria is not our problem.
-Syria is a Russian client state. Make it a Russian problem!
-Syria is an Arab state. Make it the problem of the Arab League and the rich Sauds and Gulf states!
-Syria is a Versailles Treaty construct to benefit old French imperialism. It was a French occupied and ruled Mandate state under the League of Nations....make it a French problem!
Syria (or someone in it) is committing war crimes. Make it a UN problem!

The UK does not support this! The UN does not support this! Germany does not support this! WHY do WE have to be 911 for an ungrateful world?
More people in the world are being killed by their governments every day in countries other than Syria than Syria is killing.....why is Syria our biggest problem?

Please do not support military action against Syria or as Speaker force your caucus to do so.

Best Regards

Boehner’s number. Why do these idiots believe anything BO says. He blatantly lied about Benghazi, is stonewalling the investigation. Same with the huge IRS scandal of his targeting American citizens, Fast and Furious too. Why these empty headed senators have decided to believe him now is just insane.

Tell your representatives to vote present and throw the responsibility back on the Democrats.

Too late we are learning why Eisenhower warned us about the military industrial complex.

They don’t need your money.

The bribes are measured in the hundreds of millions, and are coming from the BIG MONEY, who obviously feel the need to maintain perpetual war.

Bingo yeller. All that remains is the choreography. Looks like the gop wing of the uniparty has decided to not even bother with the pretext of being an opposition party.

I believe that is exactly what the republicans SHOULD do. I also believe this will pass the House and Senate comfortably because no one WILL do it. Once again, the fix is in....

The good news is we might get a second party.

The bad news is that people who have been vaporized can’t vote. Except in Chicago.

I can understand your belief that these folks are stupid. Rest assured, they aren’t. Psychopaths perhaps. But not stupid.

We need to see the actual names of the Republicans who voted in support of this and those who voted against it. Every single one of them.
