Harry Reid’s Office Leaks Boehner Office Emails—And It Could Ruin Any Faith You Have in Washington
The Blaze ^ | 10-2-2013 | Becket Adams

Posted on 10/02/2013 7:46:56 AM PDT by sheikdetailfeather

A series of leaked emails from House Speaker John Boehner’s chief of staff, Mike Sommers, show that the Speaker may have coordinated with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) to exempt Congress from Obamacare.

The emails were leaked Tuesday by David Krone, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s chief of staff, who actually has a history of this sort of thing.

The leaks, which are a major taboo in Washington, show Rep. Boehner (R-Ohio) worked behind the scenes earlier this year to address confusion over a provision in the Affordable Care Act that would force members of Congress and their aides into the exchanges. In fact, if one were to go by the leaks, which were first given to Politico, it appears that the offices of Boehner and Reid regularly coordinated to exempt Congress from the health care law.

But given that the Speaker is now apparently against congressional Obamacare exemptions, the emails make him look inconsistent and hypocritical – which may have been the point of their leaking.

Going after Boehner for this is something for a later date. This is supposed to be a distraction, and the bigger story right now is Reid deciding to go scorched earth.


Bingo.

Keep pushing on Reid -Bama. As they get desperate, they make big, character-exposing mistakes. Keep up that twitter pressure, etc! They will keep trying to use their sycophants (media) to polarize our guys. Don’t let ‘em. Out Alinsky them; get the ball back in their court each time by polarizing their guys!

David Krone (former lobbyist), Harry Reid’s chief of staff, denounces GOP ‘cowards’

******

At the end of 2010, Politico reported, “Krone’s mission will be to advise Reid on when to hold his ground against the Republican onslaught and when to look for compromise in the divided Senate.”

But Krone, somewhat more bluntly, said his job “is to throw himself in front of a bus” for his boss.

Krone has been friends with Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) for two decades, and has donated more money to his campaigns than any other individual.

"The leaks, which are a major taboo in Washington..."

---------------------------------->

"major taboo"

This is an odd turn of words.

Sounds more like unethical and illegal to me.

"Major Taboo". No. Criminal Acts/Unethical Acts. Probably.

Boehner and Reid and all their staffs related or knowledgeable about this should be immediately be out and indicted.

Yeah, like that is going to happen..........

"This makes Boehner a double agent working against Zerocare in the camera and for Zerocare behind our backs."

--------------------------->

I think Boehner & B. Hussein O. have golfed a few times.

Golf courses....maybe thats the reason B. O. spends so much of his time on golf courses - that's where the deals are made.

I'm pretty much in favor of that..........

I'd give these yahoo's....maybe 2, 6 year terms...then they are done.

Two year Congressman terms are not working these days....they spend the second year raising money to get re-elected.

I say...TERM LIMITS for all....

We TERM LIMIT THE POTUS...let s TERM LIMIT THEM ALL!!!!

This is the sort of thing that makes our blood boil!

This good ole boy, behind the scene, can't let the public know, deals the Republican leadership make is why Ted Cruz is a breath of fresh air!

And while our attention is on Obamacare and government spending, Eric Cantor is working on an amnesty bill.

"Time for Zero and Boner to put in a round of golf!"

---------------------------->

I was thinking the same thing.

Golf, beer summits, etc. That's where the action is.

He golfs so much and the rounds are always longer than the pros.

I guess we need a scorecard.

It is now 19 to 27.

We'll see what 2014 brings (or takes away).

Everything I learned about Mormonism, I learned from Harry Reid.

Golly!

You have some blank spots that need filling in!

Perhaps some LDS scripture would help...


The Doctrine and Covenants

Section 132

Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Nauvoo, Illinois, recorded 12 July 1843, relating to the new and everlasting covenant, including the eternity of the marriage covenant, and also the plurality of wives (see History of the Church, 5:501–7). Although the revelation was recorded in 1843, it is evident from the historical records that the doctrines and principles involved in this revelation had been known by the Prophet since 1831.

1–6, Exaltation is gained through the new and everlasting covenant; 7–14, The terms and conditions of that covenant are set forth; 15–20, Celestial marriage and a continuation of the family unit enable men to become gods; 21–25, The strait and narrow way leads to eternal lives; 26–27, The law is given relative to blasphemy against the Holy Ghost; 28–39, Promises of eternal increase and exaltation are made to prophets and Saints in all ages; 40–47, Joseph Smith is given the power to bind and seal on earth and in heaven; 48–50, The Lord seals upon him his exaltation; 51–57, Emma Smith is counseled to be faithful and true; 58–66, Laws governing the plurality of wives are set forth.

 


 

 16Therefore, when they are out of the world they neither marry nor are given in amarriage; but are appointed angels in bheaven, which angels are ministering cservants, to minister for those who are worthy of a far more, and an exceeding, and an eternal weight of glory.

 17For these angels did not abide my law; therefore, they cannot be enlarged, but remain separately and singly, without exaltation, in their saved condition, to all eternity; and from henceforth are not gods, but are aangels of God forever and ever.

 18And again, verily I say unto you, if a man marry a wife, and make a covenant with her for time and for all eternity, if that acovenant is not by me or by my word, which is my law, and is not sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise, through him whom I have anointed and appointed unto this power, then it is not valid neither of force when they are out of the world, because they are not joined by me, saith the Lord, neither by my word; when they are out of the world it cannot be received there, because the angels and the gods are appointed there, by whom they cannot pass; they cannot, therefore, inherit my glory; for my house is a house of order, saith the Lord God.

 19And again, verily I say unto you, if a man amarry a wife by my word, which is my law, and by the new and beverlasting covenant, and it is csealed unto them by the Holy Spirit of dpromise, by him who is anointed, unto whom I have appointed this power and the ekeys of this priesthood; and it shall be said unto them—Ye shall come forth in the first resurrection; and if it be after the first resurrection, in the next resurrection; and shall inherit fthrones, kingdoms, principalities, and powers, dominions, all heights and depths—then shall it be written in the Lamb’s gBook of Life, that he shall commit no hmurder whereby to shed innocent iblood, and if ye abide in my covenant, and commit no murder whereby to shed innocent blood, it shall be done unto them in all things whatsoever my servant hath put upon them, in time, and through all eternity; and shall be of full force when they are out of the world; and they shall pass by the angels, and the gods, which are set there, to their jexaltation and glory in all things, as hath been sealed upon their heads, which glory shall be a fulness and a continuation of the kseeds forever and ever.

 20 Then shall they be gods, because they have no end; therefore shall they be from aeverlasting to everlasting, because they continue; then shall they be above all, because all things are subject unto them. Then shall they be bgods, because they have call power, and the angels are subject unto them.

 21Verily, verily, I say unto you, except ye abide my alaw ye cannot attain to this glory.

 22For astrait is the gate, and narrow the bway that leadeth unto the exaltation and continuation of the clives, and few there be that find it, because ye receive me not in the world neither do ye know me.

 23But if ye receive me in the world, then shall ye know me, and shall receive your exaltation; that awhere I am ye shall be also.

 24This is aeternal lives—to bknow the only wise and true God, and Jesus Christ, whom he hath csent. I am he. Receive ye, therefore, my law.

 25aBroad is the gate, and wide the way that leadeth to the bdeaths; and many there are that go in thereat, because they creceive me not, neither do they abide in my law.
