Maybe I misunderstood where Ol’ John was coming from w/ his outspoken comments. I thought he was referring to conservative organizations...not conservative voters or house members. I thought John was po’d because these organizations were saying they didn’t support a proposal they didn’t know the details of...and these organizations were pressuring house members to vote against a bill they didn’t even know enough about to make a decision.
Don’t get me wrong...I think ol’ cryin’ John needs to be replaced. But me personally...I want a rep who believes in conservative values and doesn’t need any ‘organization’ to tell him/her which way to vote or to guide them on the ‘correct’ policy. I want my Rep to KNOW what’s right, stand by what’s the right thing to do...and then do the right thing. I want a Rep who stands up for the voters of their state...not kowtow to some Washington DC ‘think tank’.
Whatever Boehner was actually saying he has to be a God damned idiot to make statements that just about turn him into a CNN political commentator.
What you are seeing is the arrogance of the “club” in which they scorn the citizens they should be catering to.
Why would anyone think this stupid budget deal is worth yelling at your base?
Unlike Republicans the dems WILL use this in TV commercials.
That is what ole Johnboy was saying. BUT, he was doing just what the dems always do, mislead. Those organizations he was railing against knew what was in the budget deal because they were talking to the staffers and primaries involved. The outside organizations even told Boehner’s folks that this was their understanding and to tell them if it was wrong so they wouldn’t attack the deal if the info they had was wrong — none did. So for Johnboy to say they knew nothing about what was in it is lying, just like the Obama. It is just another example of the establishment Repubs trying to discredit the conservative movement. My opinion — Johnboy cannot be trusted — on anything.
