House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) criticized Republicans who disagree with his positions on Tuesday, telling members of the International Franchise Association, “I have a few knuckleheads in my conference.”
The jibe came in the midst of remarks on the dangers of a politicized National Labor Relations Board with the power to exercise the will of whichever party controls the Oval Office at a given time.
Reforming President Barack Obama’s NLRB has been a top Republican priority for some time.
From the Senate floor Tuesday, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said that a Republican-controlled Senate could make that goal a reality.
“Everybody’s familiar with the president’s unconstitutional effort to pack the National Labor Relations Board with liberal partisans in early 2012,” McConnell said. “It’s time to restore balance to the National Labor Relations Board. Let’s take the politics out of it.”
McConnell’s remarks were made in support of the NLRB Reform Act proposed by Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.).
“It would restore the NLRB to its proper role as an umpire, instead of an advocate for the Right or the Left,” McConnell said. “It’s the kind of thing our constituents want to see us doing: standing up for reform and against entrenched political interests.”

Bonor and McCornhole fellate Soetoro more than Reggie.
I look forward to the knuckleheads kicking your worthless, useless ass out of office, Johnnie.
I’ve always found insulting people who disagree with me to be an effective means of winning them over to my way of thinking—NOT!
Says the man who’s only claim to success is his ability to retain his speaker-ship despite stealing national defeat from the jaws of victory in 2012, and it looks like he may demonstrate his uncanny talent again in 2010, if the Public doesn’t become too sick of democrat lies.
