Did anybody think, for a moment, that John Boehner did not support exempting Congress and staffers from Obamacare?
The idea is not to elect good men. Electing good men is impossible, because the scoundrel will always put on a good face. The idea is to force bad men to do the right thing.
As long as there are so-called ‘moderate’ RINOs like these traitors and Boehner it is even more important to vote them out of office.
U.S. congressman: ‘If anyone is not essential, it’s the U.S. Congress’
“”We need to put our country first and take care of those that have been taking care of us,” New York Republican Rep. Michael Grimm said on CNN Wednesday. “There’s no such thing as a nonessential employee. I started in the government as a GS-5 making 30 something thousand dollars a year. I’d hate to think that what I did for the government wasn’t essential. So, I want to say to all those people, you are essential to me. If anyone is not essential, it’s the U.S. Congress.”
Grimm said he hoped to form a coalition with other House Republicans, including New York Rep. Peter King, who blasted tea party members for the shutdown.
“You have 40 Ted Cruz Republicans in the House running national policy,” King told the Washington Post. The “Ted Cruz element,” as he called them, are living “in their own echo chamber.”
“Obviously everyone knows we have a far right faction that we have to deal with and we have to unify,” Grimm said. “That is why I think we’ll need a coalition of members to finally say, listen, the most important thing here are those people that aren’t going to work today, that have bills to pay, that can barely make ends meet. Those that have small children. They don’t know what to tell them. That’s what’s important to the American people, not our egos, not our poll numbers. All of that is completely irrelevant.”
