“surrender is victory” etc.
Gotta love Boehner, right?
He is one of the most consistently ludicrously wrong headed people in politics.

I tell you what pains me the most is when they describe me as ‘the establishment.’ Now I’m the most anti-establishment speaker we’ve ever had.

Right, John. Oh, hell yeah.

No. Boehner is not a “squish.” He is a solid left Obamacrat. He is the Congressional Enforcer for the Imperial Party.

Here’s a laugh from the Hill in 2011:

“Boehner: ‘I should be’ considered a member of the Tea Party’ “

Answer me this Monsieur Boehnere, why did you not introduce a simple stopgap measure for funding until the New Congress was seated and had a chance to take it up?

Why Monsieur Squish did you think it necessary to deceitfully ram through more than a trillion dollars of pork-laden funding in a lame-duck session with no time to read through its more than 1600 pages?

Do you think Monsieur Bonaparte that your actions are any way to run a stable government?

***********************************

BOTTOM-LINE: Boehner never made his case and decided to lie and cajole to get what his masters wanted.

Reminiscent of this politician's denial ....

And Pelosi disagrees with you Johnny ....

Bottom line Johnny ... if you have to defend against the term, you are it.

Everyone should call his office demanding no retaliation against the 24 that stood up against him & to ask for his resignation. I’ve called daily since Tuesday and plan to continue.

“It does pain me to be described as spineless or a squish,” Boehner said to chuckles from reporters. “I tell you what pains me the most is when they describe me as ‘the establishment.’ Now I’m the most anti-establishment speaker we’ve ever had.”

Maybe in Lidsville

EXEMPT Benedict Boehner (RINO)
has invested deeply
in Obamacare stocks.

EXEMPT Boehner makes $$$$$$$
condoning and enabling treason
to the US Constitution.

THAT is NOT conservative
but is racketeering.

“Who believes in allowing more members to participate in the process from both sides of the aisle? “

Thats not sign of being a Conservative by giving Left Wingers more power

I think “Liberal” should be his name. Why sugarcoat it? Truth in advertizing is always a good policy.

The Liberal Republican Speaker of the House
Liberal Bhoner

Attach as needed.

And this frustration that’s out there — they need to take it out on somebody. They take it out on the President, take it out on me. It comes with the territory.”

So to John, he and Obama really haven't done anything wrong. Its just that the ignorant conservative yahoos are mindlessly taking out their frustration on these two poor martyrs.

It would help the cause considerably if people would stop wasting time and resource on that. Because it doesn’t work. Use that time to organize and transfer into a different party or the creation of a new one.

Insanity is repeating the same thing and expecting different results. Calling phones turned off and posting unread facebook messages is not a positive action.

All the examples he cited as not being a squish actually proves our point that he is a squish

He really is delusional and has no idea what conservatism is.

No, he has a very strong handle on what it means: keeping things the same.
(It's a perfectly valid definition… supported by your local dictionary, even.)
