Congressman said to have made deal to protect speaker from conservatives
WASHINGTON – The allegation of a conservative turning on his own and becoming an enforcer for Republican leadership came to light as House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, arrived at a dilemma.
If he sides with House conservatives and defunds Planned Parenthood in the upcoming budget bill, he will almost certainly face a government shutdown, a prospect that terrifies GOP leadership.
If he doesn’t try to defund the abortion provider, that will likely trigger a brewing revolt by conservatives seeking to dethrone Boehner as speaker. And, if Democrats play along, they may have the votes.
If Boehner isn’t feeling the heat, at least publicly, his friends certainly appear to be, after an ally went on a spectacular tirade that included calling conservatives communists.
The Hill reported that Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., used some rather colorful language to charge conservatives were siding with House Leader Nancy Pelosi against Boehner.
“The right-wing Marxists have teamed up with Pelosi. They’re the ones who always team up with Pelosi. They are the Pelosi Republicans,” said Nunes.
A conservative House GOP aide portrayed that as a case of the pot calling the kettle black, telling WND, “Mr. Nunes is conveniently rewriting history. It was House Republican leadership that worked with Pelosi’s caucus rather than House conservatives to pass Trade Promotion Authority.”

The right wing Marxists?
The last shutdown in 2013 wasn’t any big deal and the Repubs swept out the Dem Senate and added to their house majority in 2014.
So, what’s not to like.
They want to continue to rule by continuing resolution. They refuse to pass appropriations bills.
Obama has yet to receive an appropriations bill, and he won’t, with Boehner and McConnell in charge. Because they’re all in on the game to strip this House of its power of the purse, and transfer it to the Senate and President. That is what has been going on since 2009, and especially since 2011.
NUNES is an IDIOT!
Time for the copious application of tar and feathers.
And, perhaps, a few hemp neckties.

“.......the Repubs swept out the Dem Senate and added to their house majority in 2014. So, what’s not to like?”.....
What is not to like is, the Repubs have thus far squandered away any advantage they currently have. Under Boehner’s poor leadership, he must go. A STRONG conservative leader needs to replace him and SOON.
Boner’s attack dog is only vicious when attacking conservatives. He is a pussy dealing with democrats.
“Boner’s attack dog is only vicious when attacking conservatives. He is a pussy dealing with democrats.”
Yes, that’s always the case, and shows them to be what they are...democrat allies, conservative enemies.
Why does a government shut down “terrify” anyone?
As Reagan said “Let’s shut it down... and see if anyone notices.”
THAT’S the real fear of democraps- that no one will notice and eventually the people will realize life goes on without big government.
What exactly is a right wing Marxist?
Kind of like an atheist Pope, house trained bear, or patriotic President Obama?
This dude must think Conservatives are as dumb as leftists to spout tripe like this.
That’s pretty funny, Boner is the one who is going to have to have Pelosi save him.
Boohooner is a premium member of the progressive liberal democrat/rino communist uni-party, they will not let him fall.
