Boner thinks that he can shove amnesty down our throats and still win in November. He doesn’t give a damned if the Rats get 12 million new instant voters which will virtually guarantee that Congress and the presidency will resemble California for decades to come.
John Boehner is 64 years old. He will be reelected in 2014 and very likely reelected to be Speaker in 2015. He recently purchased a luxury condo on Marco Island in southwest Florida.
If Hillary wins in 2016, and the Dems retake the House, Boehner will be 66 years old. Like the last Republican Speaker Dennis Hastert before him, he won’t want to be the former Speaker in a Democrat House. He’ll resign before the the January swearing in, join a K Street lobbying firm or a Washington law firm. and spend 2-3 years collecting millions in “consulting” money. In Washington this means a few meetings between Boehner and some big shot clients and then some 20 something, fresh out of school, spends weeks researching a position paper and developing a Powerpoint presentation for Boehner to present to the client. Meanwhile Boehner sips rum runners on the beach at Marco.
Boehner is in the last 10-15 years of his lifespan. If the world comes crashing down while Boehner is still breathing, he’ll have his condo in a gated community and his offshore bank accounts to live on.
Why is Boehner for amnesty? The people who are going to pay him all those big consulting fees want amnesty. Boehner has taken care of himself. If the rest of the country goes to hell, so be it.
