Reid will persist and eventually prevail because Doormat Speaker John Boehner will continue to NOT do anything to impede either Reid or Obama as they tirelessly work to “Fundamentally transform the United States of America” until their Communist Utopia is completed, and there is no longer any incentive to ever work again - - - - Ney’s most dramatic accusations are against his fellow Ohioan John Boehner, the man he once saw as his biggest rival to someday being speaker. He describes Boehner as “a bit lazy” and “a man who was all about winning and money. He was a chain-smoking, relentless wine drinker who was more interested in the high life--golf, women, cigarettes, fun, and alcohol.” He said Boehner “spent almost all of his time on fundraising, not policy.” He “golfed, drank constantly, and took the easy way legislatively.” Ney recalled Boehner handing out checks on the House floor and said his ties with a tobacco company were so tight that lawmakers could get free cigarettes from Boehner’s office. His golfing, Ney said, was “nonstop” and “paid for by lobbyists.” Ney wrote: “If the Justice Department were ever to make John produce receipts for his addiction to golf just for the years from 1995 to 2004, he would be hard-pressed to comply. John got away with more than any other Member on the Hill.”
Boehner's problems are more than his drinking, he has massive character flaws. But his drinking exacerbate his character flaws.
When Boehner threw the veterans under the bus last January, and told the Washington Post he had "no plans" to remove Paul Ryan's treacherous last minute (right before Christmas) pension cut to veterans (including widows and 100% disabled combat veterans) - I knew the man was complete scum.
He only changed his tune a few days later when so many members of both sides of aisle revolted that he would have been humiliated.
He just bought a very expensive condo in Florida.
He wants to stay in office for 2 more years, collect as many paychecks as he can, cut some deals to avoid investigations, and leave.
