A family member of George Zimmerman has sent a stinging letter to the U.S. Attorney General accusing him of not arresting any members of the New Black Panther Party (NBPP) because they are black. The group has actually placed a $10,000 bounty on the head of Zimmerman and Eric Holder has been virtually silent.
Another voice has been missing in this increasingly volatile and highly charged climate in the wake of the Trayvon Martin shooting. That man’s name is John Boehner. Using his bully pulpit, he could go a long way toward making Holder accountable, or at least reduce the exposure of the private citizen who sent the letter. In fact, the bold letter sent by a member of Zimmerman’s family member should have been sent by the Speaker of the House instead.
This is a trend with Boehner and the Republican leadership. In his apparent insistence that he avoid confrontation at all costs, key issues are not being addressed. Sadly this is nothing new with Boehner, there have been multiple reports of him asking Rep.Darrell Issa to back off of the Fast and Furious investigation, which, by the way, is beginning to make Watergate look like jaywalking by comparison.
Fast and Furious is a failed gun-walking operation run out of the ATF’s Phoenix office that reaches to the top levels of the Justice Department as well as to the top of other agencies like DHS, FBI, DEA, and the State Department. In that case, Boehner has really said nothing more than he supports Issa’s investigation. But when you stop and think of all the powerful people who may be involved, don’t you think Issa could use a little more support?
Boehner’s propensity for tears may be more telling now than ever before. Shortly after the 2010 midterms, when he knew he would be handed the gavel, Boehner had a hard time keeping his face dry. It’s looking more and more like that may have been his fight or flight response to threatening situations.

As a registered Republican voter, I am appalled at the non-action by Speaker Boehner on just about every issue and rhetoric touted by Obama thus far. The House of Representative has been lacked leadership in disputing the lies and spending the Obama White House have been spewing on the air waves. John Boehner needs to step up against Obama and let the American people know that the house is still for the American way! The Republicans will lose the House in November, if they don’t get their act together soon!
lose it to WHAT FOR KRIST SAKE……………..MORE COMMIES, HE MAY NOT BE DOING ANYTHING, BUT THE COMMIE’S CANNOT MOVE FORWARD IF THE REPUBLICANS KEEP THE HOUSE, BOEHNER CAN BE REMOVED!!! ON THE OTHER HAND IF THE NASTY NAZI KEEPS THE OVAL OFFICE………….THE SOB WILL RULE BY DECREE ANYWAY…………..CONGRESS WILL BE FIRED, THE SUPREMES WILL BE FIRED(THAT IS IF THEY OVER TURN OVOMITCARE)……………….SOOOOO, THAT JUST LEAVE THE EXE BRANCH TO RULE…..I WOULD SAY WE GOT OURSELVES IN A BIT OF A PICKLE, THE DAY THE INDEPENDENT FOOLS PUT THIS FREAK OVER THE TOP AND BELIEVE ME THE MONSTERS WILL NOT MAKE THAT MISTAKE THIS TIME AROUND………….MEANING ALLOWING ILLEGAL’[S INTO THE POLLS, IT WILL NOT BE TOO DIFFICULT FOR OVOMIT TO WIN THIS ONE, WHEN THE VOTES WILL BE COUNTED BY A SPANISH COMPANY AND OVER SEAS AT THAT!!! PLUS THE FACT, THE OWNER OF THIS COMPANY IT AN OVOMIT NITWIT!!!
Only “GOD,GUNS,and GUTS” can save the “REPUBLIC” now !!
Sign up for a new union the constitution for the well being of its members.
“Weepy John” has got to go. Does he have a man-crush on Eric Holder or what? Obstructing the F & F investigation and now not calling Holder out for running the Dept of Injustice or is it the Dept. of Black Justice? Justice certainly isn’t blind when it comes to Holder and color; he feels there should be some kind of “payback” for historical wrongs. He even thinks he and Obama are being picked on because of their black skin and not their red hearts. The country is too important to keep a wimp like Boehner in charge much longer. Please, oh please, Republicans, you can do better. How about Allen West for Speaker?
I basically said the same thing just yesterday on a blog. Boehner has to go and I can’t think of a better warrior than Allen West with guts and intelligence to take his place.
I agree that Boehner should be removed as speaker. I can’t understand how he has been so silent on many of the important issues where Congress should be taking action. The GOP has control of the House, there were several new members elected in 2010, and there seems to be no action in the House to counter any of the Senate’s gridlock or to address any of the unconstitutional activity conducted by Obama or Holder.
I was ask for money this year by phone told them no action no money sent money to Ron Paul and will send money to anybody but Romney .
