From which a reasonable man may conclude that approximately 90% of the Republican members have no principles, and are in fact small-minded and petty politicians. Statesmen they are not.

Exactly on-point with the editorial.

[HiTech RedNeck]

The little america of barack.

Note that I have removed the term ‘establishment’ from the GOP-e. It is not the Establishment that is the problem, any more. It is the newly-elected so-called “principled conservatives” that are every bit the same problem as the old entrenched progressive Republicans.

We looked in the mirror, and saw that the RINO was us. The only good Republican is a former Republican.

[Lazamataz]

Agreed.

It used to be said that you cannot take a well of pure water, dump a bucket of feces into it, and expect the water to be drinkable.

Now, we have the reverse situation: We have a well filled with pure feces, and we are trying to make it drinkable by dumping a bucket of pure water into it.

A lot of the criticism of Boehner is based on reports of what he is GOING TO do, reported in the biased MSM, and a lot of THAT is basically wishful thinking by said MSM. I mean, what has he actually done, really?

• Expressed support for illegal alien Amnesty.
• Fully funded Obamacare with the Cromnibus budget bill.
• Fully funded the Executive Order Amnesty by Barack Obama (again, with the Cromnibus budget bill).
• Fully funded an out-of-control business-hostile EPA.
• Appointed 'weak sisters' to the committees that are supposed to hold Obama accountable for his many dozens of criminal scandals.
• Stripped conservatives of important positions even before the uprising, appointing progressive Republicans in their place.
• Lied to his colleagues outright in order to trick them into getting the Cromnibus bill out.
• Declared against the Tea Party and conservatives.

That's a small sample. Perhaps you need more?

THE DRAW OF FREEREPUBLIC, WAS, HAS BEEN AND STILL IS, THE PERCEIVED NOTION BASED ON THE WORDS TYPED, THAT THERE ARE STILL MEN WITH BACKBONE AND STERNER STUFF.
WE HAVE BEEN CHALLENGED AND MUST EVERY ONE, DETERMINE WITHOUT COMPROMISE TO BE A VOICE AND AN 'ACTION FIGURE' IN OUR COMMUNITIES AND JOBS ... ONLY IF IT IS A RISK
THERE IS NO GLORY TO THE RICH MAN BESTOWING A PITTANCE ON A POOR MAN, RATHER .. A POOR MAN GIVING HIS ONLY LAMB TO FEED A HUNGRY FAMILY

God, help ME to not be still and silent

[Lazamataz]

I like it.

[sportutegrl]

The first item on your list is an example of what Bohner is ‘going to do’.

[MHGinTN]

And we are left to pray that God will remove John from his quisling position ...

[9YearLurker]

To me, he’s the Soggy Cheeto.

Pray for me, as a school board director, I've begun to use biting words against common core and other matters in our local high school, and I'm about to challenge the superintendent herself .... I want her to define her purpose ... I already know what her job is

It seems to me she re-educates incoming new teachers to an agenda she desires, using the state laws to validate this aim and end, and I .. quite frankly think she's a commy embed and I want to start a fight.

Can't be more honest than that

[MileHi]

I’m done with these vichy republicans. Done.

[stephenjohnbanker]

You stated our condition well. We either fight back through the states, or give up, which is not an option.

[Lazamataz]

Oh, yes, so the one item of ‘what Boehner is going to do’ CLEARLY discounts the list of seven solid examples of ‘what Boehner has already done’. LOL

I completely decimated your assertion with those seven examples.

[Guenevere]

I will pray for you.!

As a parent, I have challenged the school board agenda ( Planned Parenthood) and, by God’s grace, won a lasting victory.

Kudos to you for taking on Common Core!

God Bless!

[Guenevere]

Especially encouraged by.....

“The One enthroned in Heaven laughs;
The Lord scoffs at them.”

[knarf]

Thanx, Jenny

Bump to ya Laz. Crying Cheeto - how perfect :)

[Vendome]

Just two observations:

1. The turncoats, who backed out, didn’t do so to protect committee assignments alone. No, their reelection is even more valuable than that.

Boner only had to threaten their would be no help and maybe outright opposition from RNCC, Rove, et al.

That means:

No money or money working against you.

No advisors and putting you on an island with no support, logistics and deep ties in local races that would be instrumental in their continued seat.

Putting up candidates to directly weaken you next time around.

2nd
Ahhh, I forgot what my second point was.

Damnit.

Great observation Laz.
