Boehner not taking it anymore from conservative groups
CNN News ^ | December 13, 2013 | By Deirdre Walsh

House Speaker John Boehner is fed up with relentless criticism from outside conservative groups questioning his leadership and blasting a bipartisan budget proposal -- and he's not taking it anymore.

"I don't care what they do," Boehner said when asked on Thursday whether his rhetorical flogging of these tea party backed groups over the past two days amounted to a directive for them to cool it.

Boehner said on Wednesday that they were "misleading their followers." On Thursday, he escalated the rhetoric and effectively dismissed them.

"Frankly, I just think that they've lost all credibility."

The public dressing down made headlines, but it also was a political pivot.

He just dismissed their votes too. Let’s see how well that works out for him.

LOL,

Bohner :”woof-woof. I have had it with them now”

I did like his claim that house member told him :
Well we never believed the shutdown would work anyway. We just needed to show we would fight”

“Boehner not taking it anymore from conservative groups”

Gee, he sertainly talks tough to patriotic Americans while he is bending over for Obama and the Democrats. Boehner has been “taking it” from Obama ever day.

These jackasses need to do a quick read of history to see how well it works when you dismiss your base supporters. This is unreal.

I am on the edge of going 3rd party for the first time. These people are insane.

Support Eric Gurr to oust John Boehner in OH-8

Also, press your Representative to NOT support Boehner for Speaker - or Ryan, either

Take it and like it, Johnny. Shut up and eat your damn peas, as your boss likes to say.

I’ve wondered about that too...he sure looks like the kind of guy who’s never far from a bottle.

Well I read today that he says he is “unaffected by stress”. Let’s find out.

Likely. Additionally, he is also likely not far from a bottle of hair dye, either.

And, I think he’s just testing them out in advance of his planned cave-in on immigration after the first of the year.

He’s figuring if he slaps the conservatives down now, they’ll stay down for that debate too.
