After historic win, Boehner complains 'we're behind'
wnd.com ^ | 1/1/15

Voters across America gave the GOP one of the biggest ever election victories in November, expanding its dominance in the U.S. House, giving it control of the U.S. Senate, dozens and dozens of state legislative chambers and governors offices. All in response to the constitutionally doubtful agenda on immigration and Obamacare pursued by Barack Obama.

So now the GOP is complaining about being behind the Democrats.

And that’s why, according to the man who started a “Dump Boehner” campaign to encourage GOP House members to remove Ohio Rep. John Boehner as speaker, that very campaign is needed.

A recent email from Keith Davis at the National Republican Congressional Committee stated plainly: “Friend, we’re already behind the Democrats – unless we receive your 2015 membership renewal of $50 or more today.”

A subsequent email from Boehner said: “Did you catch Keith’s note about your 2015 membership renewal? President Obama is pushing ahead with a reckless ‘my-way-or-the-highway’ approach and we need your 2015 membership commitment to stand strong in our fight for your priorities. Please renew your membership at $150, $100, or even just $50 and receive your exclusive 2015 NRCC Sustaining Membership Card. With your support in 2014 we won a new Senate majority and we won the largest conservative House majority in nearly a century. Our new American Congress is eager to get to work, and we need your help.”

Joseph Farah, WND founder, explained that’s the very reason for the Don’t be Yellow, Dump Boehner Now! campaign, which encourages constituents to let all 247 GOP members of the House majority know they need to pick another speaker for the coming Congress.

“That’s really the problem in a nutshell, John. You’re already behind the Democrats. That’s why the people who voted Republican in the last election want you dumped as leader of the GOP House and as speaker of the House,” Farah commented."

Cowards ALWAYS find some reason to keep from being pushed to the front lines.

Democrats have yet to come to terms with the fact that the once-hallowed ground beneath them is now quicksand---and they are sinking fast.

===============================================

FREEPER HOMEWORK: The List should be photocopied by the gross, accompanying every communique w/ Congress.

============================================

THE LIST---The treasure trove of "The Midterm Democrat Demolition Derby" and down-ticket state Republican wins have yet to be fully- mined, but this we know:

<><> midterms were a massive and awesome rejection of prog/libs and everything they stand for...including amnesty;

<><> the usually reliable South dumped Democrats bigtime,

<><> Southern Democrats control not a single governorship, US senator or legislative chamber,

<><> Democrat losses stretch from the Carolinas westward to Texas,

<><> despite Obama's targeting Texas, it remains redder than ever,

<><> Of 140 Southern States election districts---110 went Republican,

<><> GOP's House majorities are so huge and solid NBC's Chuck Todd says Dems can't recapture losses until 2022.

<><> Some pundits say Republicans have a 100-year majority,

<><> the grassroots dumped 30 lock-stepping Senate Democrats who voted sucked-up for Obamacare,

<><> Ark and Ill (Clinton hometowns) have Repub governors---guvs control party machinery,

<><> GOP has every congressional seat in Arkansas; first time in 141 years,

<><> Unprecedented MINN 6th Congressional district---every single House and Senate district went Repub

<><>GOP now controls the MINN State House,

<><> Ohio's historic GOP statehouse takeover means gun Control is toast,

<><> Ohio's Gov, Lt. Gov, AG, Secy of State, State Auditor, State Treasurer--all R---Sup/Ct - 6 R/1 D,

<><> Britt Hume: "latino vote is zilch"---"over-50" is significant 30% voting segment; no mention of CoC,

<><> Republicans unified control: gov/legislature in 23 states (per Ntl Conference of State Legislatures factoid),

<><> Repub governorships: Florida, Tx, Ill, Ohio, Mich, MD, Wisconsin, NC, GA, Mass, .

<><> Environmentalists fogged out---suffered huge losses,

<><> Gun Control Candidates blitzed,

<><> "War on Women" became a ntl joke,

<><> Both Clintons' de****ed; most candidates they flacked lost,

<><> Montana, So/Dakota and West/VA Dems were forced to retire; no hope of getting re-elected,

<><> An Arizona House recount race went Republican,

<><> AZ Republican McSally wins last open House seat (Dem Gaby Giffords seat),

<><> Repub McSally's win gives GOP 5-4 advantage in AZ congressional delegation,

<><> Repubs hold 247 House seats, the largest GOP majority advantage since Truman post-World War II,

<><> 73% of LA's white voters say they "strongly disapprove" of Obama,

<><>The new Republican Congress holds the largest House majority in 83 years.

Blanket Boehner w/ The List.

Boehner has been neutered.

He is sold out/compromised Internationalist that will do everything within his power to push the Obama agenda.

Ditto the compromised Mitch McConnell and most to the GOP leadership.

Bullcrap! They want more funds to protect incumbents and to advance the agendas of their cronies on K Street.

DON’T GIVE THEM A PENNY.

Republicans are “behind” in the Senate because Harry Reid still leads the Senate and will lead the Senate so long as his flunky McConnell is still in charge of herdin the Republican Division.

I pray the GOP leadership that was voted in doesn’t waste their seats and continue this trip down Socialism Lane...it would be a shame for the nation - and especially those that have served and gave all for this Republic.

And not one point of that list matters.

All that matters is the Chicago Way has all the dirt on every member of Congress, and they’re not afraid to use it.

What difference I ask you, is there between Vichy France and the GOPe?

The term ‘Quisling’ comes to mind, too.

The next political contribution I will make will be directly to the Ted Cruz campaign.

Not one red cent to the RNC.

So now the GOP is complaining about being behind the Democrats.

...

Of course. He’s looking for any excuse to compromise and let the Democrats have their way, which is what the GOPe wants. Boehner and the GOP don’t want to implement the policies that the voters want.

We have had 4 years of inaction, and of enabling Obama by the drunken Speaker.

Enough already.

Time to go, John.

Way past time.

"We're behind"????

Did you mean to say "We're a**holes"

That'd be a more accurate assessment...

Boehner behind?

The idjit is not behind, he is so far out of touch with public sentiment that he might as well be on Abe Lincoln’s recopnstruction staff.

What losers the GOP have become.
