Why Is John Boehner Letting House Republicans Be Mitch McConnell’s Toy?

John Boehner SC Why Is John Boehner Letting House Republicans Be Mitch McConnell’s Toy?

Here is what is going to happen unless House Republicans stage an immediate revolt against their own House leadership.

Mitch McConnell, Harry Reid, and Nancy Pelosi are going to win. They have managed to cut the legs out from under John Boehner and the House Republicans. In fact, the House Republicans have taken on all the appearances of Mitch McConnell’s basement gimp.

I’m not sure why we need them any more if the McConnell-Reid-Pelosi Pontius Pilate Act passes.

See, John Boehner ceded authority to Mitch McConnell. Instead of embracing the conservative “Cut, Cap, and Balance” plan or even pushing forward with Paul Ryan’s plan as an alternative, Boehner let McConnell move forward and cut Boehner’s legs out from under him. It was a willing sacrifice on Boehner’s part because he’d rather be legless than fight.

Now here is what Boehner and McConnell have agreed to do.

  1. Boehner a weenie? Gee, who'd a thunk it?

    • 1oldcoyote2 says:

      Amen!!!

      • 1oldcoyote2 i had no idea that you were religious.
        I heard that you were born on a farm, were there any more in the litter?

        • 1oldcoyote2 says:

          Moshie and Alexia, both getting along in years, lived in Tele-Aviv, in Israel . They met at the singles club meeting and discovered over time that they enjoyed each others company. After several weeks of meeting for drinks and drugs, Moshe asked Alexia out for dinner and, much to his delight, she accepted.

          They had a lovely evening. They dined at the most Kosher restaurant in town. Despite their age, they ended up at his place for an after-dinner sniff of cocain.

          Things continued along a natural course and age being no inhibitor, Alexia soon joined Moshie for a most enjoyable roll in the hay.

          As they were basking in the glow of the magic moments they'd shared, each was lost for a time in their own thoughts and need of more cocain…..

          Moshe was thinking: 'If I'd known she was still a virgin, I'd have been gentler.

          Alexia, being an old Yenta was thinking: 'If I'd known the old fart could still do it, I'd have taken off my pantyhose.'

          • 1oldcoyote2 this is just filth! Just like you!
            Someone told me that you were not even fit to sleep with pigs. I stuck up for the pigs.

          • 1oldcoyote2 says:

            Apparently you only like pigs to eat. In reality pigs are very clean animals. When I was young we had a neighbor that raised pigs. A mother pig will use one part of her pen to eat in. One part to live in. One corner for to go potty in. I love good pork chops and pork steak. Can't eat bacon or ham though because I am very allergic to the nitrates used in processing.

          • 1oldcoyote2 thanks for the history about your relatives.

          • 1oldcoyote2 says:

            This was our neighbor. Of course you are to ignorant to see that!! Go back to your maggot relatives. They might appreciate you, though I doubt it!!

          • 1oldcoyote2 I find it so sad that you have to result to filth, vulgarity & insults to communicate.

            GROW UP!

        • 1oldcoyote2 says:

          Untrue. I was born in a very nice hospital. I was told that you were hatched with zillions of other maggots on a dead pig. I can believe that without question.

          • 1oldcoyote2 you are such a sad excuse for a man ! If your brain was chocolate it wouldn't fill an M&M.

          • 1oldcoyote2 says:

            That's still much better then the fungus you have!! THANK YOU!

          • 1oldcoyote i have no fungus. In fact i am becoming bored by you much the way that i have about James McPherson & his alias Ellen & friend ireueul. None of you have any thing intelligent to say other than rude remarks, vulgarity, spin & lies.

            I heard that you went to the doctors to have your head examined but the doctors found nothing there.

          • Alexia Do you know that 1oldcoyote2 is the first case history where the baby died and the after birth lived.

          • Lol! Good one Vicky. i love it!

    • Only a sweet boy's like you & ireuel. Which dwarf are you?

      • Correction: My mistake ireuel i did not mean to insult you by calling James by your name.

        • Carol Gerber says:

          Alexia Your A Classy Lady And These Liberal Goons Nut Cases Are Not Worth Your Time Or Blogs, Yikeess, Maybe Soros Obama James And His Cut And Paste Group Of Atheists Queers Will Go Back To Soros Move-On Jerks Inc. Have A Nice Day Alexia, God Bless America And Sarah Palin.

          • Carol Gerber,

            Thank you so much for such a sweet comment. Carol Liberals especially Democrats attack any woman who does not agree with them.I just refuse to let them intimidate me or to get the better of me. If you have noticed I come to any one's defense when they are attacked by these small individuals.

          • Gary in Colo says:

            Liberals attack anybody (period) who does not agree with them.
            They are really starting to show their sexist side as well, not just toward
            you look at this whole attack thing on Bachmann and Palin.

            Ireuel, though, I don't think he wants to be enemy of you and I actually noted in
            the past that you two use to agree on more, but I think the assistant professor
            and the dumboldcoyote got the name calling thing going and use that to start
            pitting everybody against each other.

          • Gee, I'm hurt. I've been called much worse here–including by our two favorite dumb animals, the Cougar and the Coyote–than what I've called anyone. I've also had people here tell me I should have my throat cut, and that I should be lynched, hung, beaten, shot and raped. I'm sure they were all nasty liberals, right?

            And by the way, though I don't care much about titles, I haven't been an assistant professor for years.

          • James you are far to sick to be hurt by anything that someone has ever called you on this site. Whatever any one called you I can assure you that you deserved it. You have always come onto this site with one intent & that is to cause as much chaos as possible. You have been rude & condescending to many people on this site. I personally can handle anything you wish to throw at me so go for it.

            I'm a human being! What are you?

          • Gary i do agree with all that you have said. But you have to remember that ireuel is a grown man & he is responsible for his actions. If you go back far enough in the archives you will find that it was he who threw the first stone & has not stopped. Nor has he ever attempted to apologize.

          • By the way, Gary, about your idea that anyone could "use that to start pitting everybody against each other": apparently you don't think folks here are very smart, if they're that easy to influence.

            Come to think of it, you're probably right about that part, even if you'happen to be wrong about who started the name-calling.

          • James your nose is growing! Ever since you first came onto this site you have been a jerk & obnoxious to many.

            I don't consider you a vulture. I consider you something a vulture would eat.

    Has anyone ever seen Boehner's top teeth?

  3. Related, though not directly to this, is the super-duper ERROR that virtually all repubs are making about the balanced budget amendment. Even most repubs don't understand the Constitution. The current version of the proposed balanced budget amendment does not merely fail to be a good idea, but it is a HORRENDOUS one. It will actually DESTROY the constitution and everything conservatives have been working for these past few years. PLEASE read the article linked below, written by one of the most knowledgeable Constitutional scholars in the nation. I was for the BBA (bal. budget amendmt) 'til I read the article and realized immediately how correct it was. Though it seems impossible, it's very simple how the BBA will actually INCREASE the size of gov't in practice, make it IMPOSSIBLE ever to shrink it, DESTROY what remnants of the republican form of gov't we still have left, and ACCELERATE THE ONSET OF TYRANNY IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

    The Balanced Budget Amendment is probably THE WORST IDEA to come down the pike in the history of this nation since the Constitution was adopted. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read the article at the link below CAREFULLY and THINK. The founding fathers did make a few references to spending and borrowing and they would have included a requirement for a balanced budget if they'd thought it was not harmful. THEY KNEW HOW DESTRUCTIVE OF THE REST OF THE CONSTITUTION IT WOULD BE. And I say "DESTRUCTIVE" with its literal meaning. It will, in one fell swoop, sanction and make PERMANENT the gradual destruction of the Constitution that's been going on for the past century or so. It will save the enemies of the Constitution decades, and do all the rest of their work with one killing stroke. The BBA is POISON. THE MINUTE SUCH AN AMENDMENT IS PASSED, ALL HOPE FOR RESTORING A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC WILL BE PERMANENTLY EXTINGUISHED AND OUR FORM OF GOVERNMENT WILL BE FOREVER DESTROYED. THE ONLY WAY TO ACHIEVE IT WILL THEN BE BY FORMING A NEW NATION ENTIRELY WITH A NEW CONSTITUTION ALTOGETHER, OR ELSE BY VIOLENT REVOLUTION. THE BBA IS A DISASTER OF THE FIRST WATER. READ THE BELOW ARTICLE AND FORWARD THE LINK TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN.

  4. Boehner & McConnell are getting very close to committing political suicide if they fold on this increasing the debt ceiling without getting something in return.

  5. RINO's are going to soon be EXTINCT … TEA! 2012!

MITCH MCCONNEL IS A POLITICAL HACK OF THE WASHINGTON ESTABLISHMENT, SO IS REID, PELOSI, BOEHNER, ET AL. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN GETTING "SCREWED" BY THESE "LECHERS" FOR MANY, MANY, DECADES, AND IT IS NOT ABOUT TO CHANGE.

  7. Carol Gerber says:

    It Is Called "Let The Good Old Boys Mess-Up Again" That Is Why We Need Sarah Palin To Run The Show, Read How She Did It In Alaska, "Going Rogue" A Great Read And A Great Leader Sarah Palin. God Bless America

  8. William says:

    When he was made speaker I felt very good, but since then I have a very uneasy feeling about him. If he let mr. Mitch get his way then I feel we are going to go down the drain. Not only Mitch, but there are about six other in the reps. house that I would not trust my cat with. The speaker better get on his high horse and get going or we will have the dems havijng their way again.

  9. A Joke For All Conservatives

    The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American History. Who said 'Give me Liberty, or give me Death'?"
    She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Little Yoshi a bright foreign exchange student from Japan , who had his hand up: 'Patlick Henly, 1775' he said.
    'Very good!'
    Who said, 'Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?'
    Again, no response except from Little Yoshi, 'Ablaham Rincoln, 1863'.
    'Excellent!', said the teacher continuing, 'let's try one a bit more difficult…' Who said, 'Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country?'
    Once again, Yoshi's was the only hand in the air and he said; 'John F. Kennedy, 1961'.
    The teacher snapped at the class, 'Class, you should be ashamed of yourselves, Little Yoshi isn't from this country and he knows more about our history than you do.'
    She heard a loud whisper: 'F**k the Japs,'
    'Who said that? I want to know right now!' she angrily demanded.
    Little Yoshi put his hand up, 'General MacArthur, 1945.'
    At that point, a student in the back said, 'I'm gonna puke.'
    The teacher glares around and asks, 'All right!!! Now who said that!?'
    Again, Little Yoshi says, 'George Bush to the Japanese Plime Ministah, 1991.'
    Now furious, another student yells, 'Oh yeah? Suck this!'
    Little Yoshi jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher, 'Bill Clinton, to Monica Rwinsky, 1997!'
    Now with almost mob hysteria someone said, 'You little shit. If you say anything else, I'll kill you.'
    Little Yoshi frantically yells at the top of his voice, 'Michar Jackson to the children witnesses testifying against him, 2004.'
    The teacher fainted.
    As the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, 'Oh shit, We're screwed!'
    Little Yoshi said quietly, 'the American people, November 4, 2008.'

    WND Exclusive CERTIFIGATE – White House operative heading 'birther' smear campaign?
    Former Fannie Mae chief allegedly manages 100-strong attack team from Pennsylvania Ave
    Posted: July 19, 2011-8:21 pm Eastern- By Jerome R. Corsi-© 2011 WND
    This is the third in a series of continuing articles aimed at exposing the "OBOTs" – radical supporters of Barack Obama dedicated to disrupting people who question Obama's eligibility to be president.
    The first article exposed former California lawyer William L. Bryan, aka "P.J. Foggy." The second article exposed Foggy's sidekick, Kurt Coleman, aka "Rikker."
    NEW YORK – A top Democrat, apparently operating with the full approval and cooperation of the president, has been directing a team of up to 100 who are paid to publish disinformation on a wide variety of websites to discredit "birthers," according to anti-Obama researchers.
    The radical supporters of the president, known as Obama robots, or "OBOTs" for short, have confirmed their White House-appointed ring leader is Democratic Party operative James A. Johnson, the former chairman of Fannie Mae.
    Initially, the OBOTs attempted to mask their Internet identities by posting under usernames with avatars that suggest their personalities. But due largely to the efforts of anti-Obama researchers, including "birthers" vilified by the OBOTs, the true identities of key OBOT operatives have been revealed.
    Remarkably, key OBOT operatives, including possibly Johnson himself, have tended over time to self-identify. Two OBOT usernames – "NeonZX" and "JimBot" – may have been usernames Johnson himself created to cover his tracks.
    If "NeonZX" and "JimBot" are James A. Johnson, a link will have been established between the Obama White House at the topmost levels and a highly organized disinformation campaign, most likely financed by taxpayer funds. The campaign has been aimed at anyone who challenges Obama's eligibility to be president under Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution.
    WND contacted Johnson's office for comment, but Johnson did not reply.
    James A. Johnson as 'JimBot'?
    Ed Hale, the Texas-based creator of Plains Radio, has told WND that Johnson, posting on various OBOT websites under the username "JimBot," managed for the White House some 100 paid operatives around the country. Their primary job was to attack, refute and publish disinformation on any prominent "birthers."
    In an Internet forum called "Voice of America Broadcasting Network," Hale posted the following on July 17:
    Exhibit 1: Ed Hale Internet post, June 17, identifying "Jim Bot" as James Johnson.
    Johnson's office at Perseus LLC is located near the White House, at 2099 Pennsylvania Avenue.
    The White House switchboard told WND that until recently, it answered calls for Johnson but that the practice had been discontinued.
    In an attempt to verify Johnson's sway with Obama, Hale said he told Johnson to have the president call a Michigan lady on her 110th birthday. Indeed, Michigan resident Leola Washington received an acknowledgment card on her birthday from President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, as reported by KMOV-TV in St. Louis.
    WND has found that Hale was incorrect in claiming the Maryland address listed in Hale's post is Johnson's address.
    Did Johnson out himself on OBOT websites?
    WND research indicates Johnson, posting under the username "NeonZX," may, indeed, have confirmed that he is the hidden identity behind "JimBot."

    • PAGE 2 OF 2

      In a post on March 10, 2009, "NeonZX" identified himself as the "#1 Bot," as seen in Exhibit 2:
      Exhibit2: NeonZX self-identifies as "#1 Bot," March 10, 2009
      "I'm the '#1 Obot,'" username "NeonZX" stated, claiming, "Most here know me or of me."
      Then in a chat room screen capture seen in Exhibit 3, "NeonZX" identified himself as "JimBot."
      Exhibit 3: NeonZX self-identifies as "JimBot"
      The last and critical link was established by "NeonZX" in an Internet post Aug. 9, 2009, in which he identified "JimBot" as James A. Anderson, after Hale had made the same identification in a Plains Radio broadcast.
      In the post, seen in Exhibit 4, "NeonZX" explains to a previous poster who noted that "JimBot" was James A. Johnson, "We learned Jimbot's 'true' identity – he is rich and famous and has a grand home."
      Exhibit 4: "NeonZX" identifies "JimBot" as James A. Johnson, Aug. 9, 2009
      If "NeonZX" is "JimBot" under a different username, the post amounts to a self-admission that "JimBot" is Johnson.
      The article "NeonZX" referenced in his post linked back to a Minnesota Post article published on June 11, 2008, reporting that James A. Johnson, described as "a classic behind-the-scenes dealmaker in Washington, D.C., was no longer part of the three-person team involved in Obama's vice presidential search effort, after the Wall Street Journal published embarrassing articles documenting VIP home loans Johnson had personally received from sub-prime lender Countrywide Financial while he headed Fannie Mae.
      Exhibit 5: Minnesota Post Article on James A. Johnson, published June 11, 2008, linked in "NeonZX" post, Aug. 9, 2009.
      On Aug. 9, 2009, as seen in Exhibit 5, "NeonZX" posted a second time regarding Johnson, further confirming that "JimBot" worked for the White House, but not in the White House. The description that fits the location and nature of Johnson's working relationship with the White House, dating back to the assistance he gave Obama in the 2008 vice presidential search process.
      Exhibit 6: "NeonZX" Identifies "JimBot" as Working For White House, Aug. 9, 2009
      Who is James A. Johnson?
      From 1991 to 1998 Johnson was chairman and CEO of the government-sponsored mortgage giant Fannie Mae.
      WND reported that Johnson earned $21 million in his final year alone at Fannie Mae, despite irregularities cited by the Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight as constituting accounting improprieties.
      The current New York Times bestselling book by Gretchen Morgenson and Joshua Rosner, entitled "Reckless Endangerment: How Outsized Ambition, Greed and Corruption Led to Economic Armageddon," blames Johnson for engineering much of the sub-prime housing crisis that led to the financial meltdown in late 2008.
      Johnson has contributed to Obama since 2004. In 2008, he was a bundler responsible for raising in excess of $200,000 for the Obama presidential campaign.
      He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission and the American Friends of Bilderberg.

    Mitch McConnell is one of our old line incumbants with no brains, & no morals, & John Boehner is a Wimp. There was never any doubt in my mind, that they would give Obama way more then they would fix. Any incumbant of both parties, who has been in for more then two terms, have to be voted out. They are all corrupt, liars, & crooks.
