According to the Daily Caller, Speaker Boehner broke Reagan’s 11th Commandment big time at a GOP fundraiser in Colorado, Wednesday evening:
At a Steamboat Springs event for GOP Rep. Scott Tipton, the Ohio Republican quipped that he likes how Cruz’s presidential campaign keeps “that jackass” out of Washington, and from telling Boehner how to do his job.
That remark rubbed some attendees the wrong way.
“I don’t think it’s terribly speaker-like, and I think it kind of goes against everything that Reagan ever said about disparaging Republicans,” said Ed MacArthur, the president of Native Excavating, who attended the fundraiser.
Given Speaker Boehner’s abysmal approval ratings, the question isn’t if his comment hurts Senator Cruz, but if it will possibly help him.
Cruz has clashed with party leadership since taking office in January of 2013. He has “intentionally stuck his finger in the eye of the Republican leadership in the House,” as the Washington Post’s Chris Cillizza put it, on a number of occasions:
The key point to remember in all of this is that Ted Cruz wants to be hated by congressional Republicans, or, at the very least, he doesn’t mind knowing that they hate him. Cruz has his eye not on climbing the leadership ladder in Congress but on running for president.
That’s a good plan, given the electorate’s current disgust with the status quo.
Boner is the jackass
someone needs to kick his ass too
Or, just maybe, Cruz is a principled man who resents being lied to and taken for granted.
Maybe.
So, shut the hell up, Boner.
Another fine endorsement for Ted Cruz.
Boehner should be frog-marched out of Congress, censured and stripped of all rankings and responsibilities and sent home on a rail.
Yeah, I’ll go with that one.
NOTICE: He didn’t CALL Donald Trump a Jackass.!...
It’s Ted Cruz that got his Horn all Horny..
With TED CRUZ the partys over.. the JIG is uP..
Boehner and McConnell just may get their asses prosecuted for treason.... (or something)
AND Boehner KNOWS IT...
And the republican candidates are drones not worth him commenting on..
Boner/McConnell/McCain/Linda Graham....one big beltway circlejerk
But Cruz will let this comment slide. (Crickets)
Which is not what the electorate wants right now. Fight! Put some fire and brimstone in it!!!!
Stand up, tell him to stop talking “smack” about me! State the facts about Boehner’s abysmal record. Say he needs to be replaced!
But for goodness sake don’t say nothing.
We should chip in to a slush fund to ship case after case of hooch to Boehner until his liver dies.
Said Boehner, “Now if you will excuse me, I have a swimming date with Joe Biden.”
Trump would have called Boehner a bimbo.

This crossed my mind too.
So the steaming pile of dog crap called Cruz a “jackass?”
I’d consider that a complement.
Cruz would be smart to publicly thank Boner for what he did - ridicule him like crazy, that’ll score points.
A nice mix of heavy stuff and some outright “bum wines”.
Eau de Rotgut
LOL
I bet the p#ssy was crying too.
