They have to fall in line. He’s got the goods on all of his opponents.

This is as much our fault as his. We as a party have to realize that we are not going to have pearly snow driven white vestal virgin candidates. Most everyone has a skeleton or two in their closet.

This is not a joking matter, this is serious stuff. We are reaching the point, if not already surpassed it, where the population needs to visit the center of madness here with pitchforks in hand. They all have to go, between the double dealing crooks and the sycophants hanging on for a retirement check, we are rudderless in the face of an international storm and a domestic collapse. The Barbarians have over run the gates, there is no rational reasoning and very little constitutional government. Yeah, we have the buildings and the title Republic but it is more like an asylum and the nuts are in charge.

What are we NOT hearing about all of this??

HOW WILL THE RUSSIANS REACT, after already telling their warships to prepare for a “Severe Confrontation”?

We are surrounded by traitors. It’s that simple.

Boner is not even pretending any more. McCain should be wearing a “FU America” tee shirt.

Think it’s bad now? See what happens if they are permitted to get the guns. And make no mistake, if allowed, Boner & GOPe will sell us out on 2A.

>> to strike Syria as planned, will destabilize Syria, cause it to fall and guarantee a radical Islamic takeover.

Henceforth, the blood of every Christian murdered by the Muslim brotherhood is on the hands of John Boehner, the Republican Party, and the US of A.

May God have mercy on us.

Seems I remember something about Boner and HSBC and money laundering (drug cartels). Wonder if it’s true?

Boehner says he supports military strikes on Syria, because we can not tolerate the use of gas on Syrians. I guess prior to the use of Sarin and probably Mustard gas it was OK with Boehner and Obama to kill over 100,000 Syrians with conventional weapons. What does a Syrian civil war have to do with the security of the US? Are we to become Al Queda’s air force?

If we launch on Syria it will ignite a firestorm in the Middle East.

As I posted on another thread. Here is my take on it. I think he wants to vote present on the war so he can say “Not Me” the Rep. congress agrees too .
What I think the republicans in the house and senate should is to vote 50% for OBAMAS plan and 50% against it. Then whatever the democrats want will happen. They are going to get their way anyway but this will ensure they own it.
I don’t think Obama wants to bomb Syria but has lost credibility over the Gassing by Assad or whoever did it.
I sure think the Republicans should stay out using the above strategy but don’t think they have the balls to do it.
Obama doesn’t want to own this.

Well Cantor is a YES on Syria now too....wonderful. The GOP Elite can go to hell. Have a look at the front page of Drudge and that tells you where the rest of the country is at.

Boehner Says He Supports Obama on Syria

Boehner is a TRAITOR .
He has no problems with Obama sending our servicemen to fight for Al Qaeda .
He has no problem with destroying our economy with Obamacare even though it is nothing more than a tax on all non muslims.
He has no problem with destroying our country with immigration which includes special quotas to further islamize this country by bringing hoards more of them in.
He has no problem with the muslim brotherhood infiltrating our government but huge problems with a conservative who pointed it out (Michele Bachmann)

I Think many here are being too hard on Boehner over this issue. I am no Boehner fan and hope he gets a viable primary challenger in 2014 because of his lack of a backbone and willingness to fight over the truly important issues like Obamacre and the debt ceiling. However, there are two valid sides to the Syria wmd argument.

Pro attack:
1. US credibility is on the line and that really matters in the Middle east (It was naive of Obama to draw a red line in the sand, but that boat sailed a year ago)
2. Iran may become emboldened if we fail to act.
3. Assad is a petty dictator, human rights violator and war criminal. He deserves anything we do to him.

Con attack:
1.It could cause a wider war in the region. The US could be more deeply drawn in and forced to put American lives on the line.
2. There may be no good guys in the Middle East to support. We don’t want to be AL Qaeda’s air force.
3. The attack will cost US taxpayers money and strain an already strained US Military.

These are just a few of the pros and cons, but the issue is hardly a clear cut one from a Conservative point of view. It is more clear if you are a Libertarian. Of course some would argue it is a ruse and the rebels may have launched the attack. If the intelligence reports are accurate, that issue has been settled.
