Obama , democrats and the media want war with
Syria to:

1. distract us from stopping the Amnesty bill

2. To help Islamic radicals(alqueda) take over Syria

Obama ,democrats and the media . what is the common denominator? they are democrats and part of the democrat party. they are pure evil wanting to help Islamic terrorists take over another country so they frame Assad when Islamics are invading syria from other Muslim countries and these islamics are killing Christians and they the Islamic radicals not Assad are the ones who used the chemical weapons . Obama helped the Islamic terrorists and knows who did what

I think Boehner and Canter did the absolute right thing knowing they’ll heat from us. Had they made this a political thing, Obama would have the cover he needed.

I don’t think they voted yes because they favor us bombing Syria, they voted yes to allow the president to do what he wishes, which he could do in the first place.

Secondly, they have not come out pushing other republicans to vote on this, thirdly Boehner may hold off a vote all together.

In summary, Boenher in this case is not an a hole. He’s playing this very smart by not allowing Obama to hide beyond partisan republicans or even Congress. Boehner is letting Obama make the decision.

And guess what, Folks? Obama, The Coward has no intentions of bombing Syria or anyone. Everyone knows that. With each passing day, he looks all the more that hack he is.

No, Obama is the a hole.

I would like to caution about the accuracy of the information in the article.

When I compiled the list of GOP who are supporting military action is Syria, I found 2 members who were now Senators not Congressmen as listed.

That is pretty basic info. With legislation as fluid as this is, I have serious doubts that the position of the members is any more accurate than the underlying database.

Just a word of caution.

I don’t want the orange idiot playing politics. I want him out there playing offense and hammering Obama on why he’s wrong like Ted Cruz and Rand Paul are doing.

And as to your, non informed, statement about Boehner not encouraging other house members to vote his way, I submit exhibit A:

John Boehner
R, Ohio
“I’m going to support the president’s call for action and I believe my colleagues should.”

Go crawl back in your hole and learn to read.

your analysis ignores some glaring facts.

1.boehner has let obozo escape more than once when he was in political quicksand.

2.boehner has carried water for obozo.

3.boehner has never failed to put his foot on the necks of GOP congress members who take a different position than his.

4.boehner is not clever, smart, that politically astute, or capable of the kind of nuanced, strategic thinking that your scenario would require.

5.boehner has always acted like someone who has been bought off or compromised in some way by never srongly opposing anything obozo has done to destroy our republic.

just my opinion, but i believe its based on facts in evidence and if boehner and cantor would play some silly game and let a dope like obama risk igniting WW3, they should be tried for treason.

Bohner has a responsiblity to tell the President that it is Congress which decides when we use the military except in the most extreme circumstances.

Bohner is just a Neo-Con who is afraid that the Presidency will be brought back to it's rightful constitutional limitations.

Unfortunately the majority of congress is as pathetically inept as the useless self imposed messiah.
