HOUSE MEMBERS SHOULD RECONSIDER THEIR SUPPORT FOR EMBATTLED SPEAKER

rick manning|| By RICK MANNING  ||  A new poll by Democratic pollster Patrick Caddell shows that Republican Speaker John Boehner (Ohio) is no favorite of Republican voters.

After four years of watching and rooting for Boehner to succeed in fighting to limit the size and scope of government, fully 60 percent of Republicans surveyed want someone new to be Speaker.

To make matters worse for Boehner, 64 percent viewed him as being “ineffective in opposing Obama’s agenda” – a resounding repudiation to the person most associated nationally with leading Republicans during the Obama presidency.

What is almost as amazing is that the Speaker is barely right-side up on the favorable/unfavorable test among Republican voters, scoring a meager 43 percent to 34 percent edge among those who should be his staunchest supporters.

The poll has been released in advance of the upcoming House session, with increased movement amongst members to reconsider their decision to support Boehner on the floor of the House.

Discontent among Republican House members over the handling of a variety of issues during the lame-duck session, most notably the decision to fully fund President Obama’s top three priorities — ObamaCare, the Environmental Protection Agency and his executive amnesty — have created a rebellion within his own conference.

Rep. Jim Bridenstine (R-Okla.), who previously pledged to vote for Boehner, changed course in a press announcement, writing that “The CR/omnibus legislation sufficiently undermines the checks and balances enshrined in the Constitution that it warrants my pending vote against the [S]peaker. John Boehner went too far when he teamed with Obama to advance this legislation. He relinquished the power of the purse, and with it he lost my vote.”

I agree. Republicans have a ‘big tent’ on ideas and policy.
You ain’t a Democrat representative unless you hate America and God, love ISIS and abortion while supporting policies to steal wealth, burn our neighborhoods down, kill cops, drugs and perverted marriage.

Boehner fucked you all. Obama’s E/0 on immigration eliminated any chance of reform.
Obama fucked the illegals. What do they have on January 4th, 2015? NO path to citizenship and NO vote. They can work and pay taxes-love it since they are bankrupting Medicaid in states.

I don’t view “Boner” as ineffective. He is a sell out to Obama pure and simple. By being his moderate self he lets the Dims run over him and the “majority” Republicans. He is a spineless wimp that needs a good replacing.

He is , IMO the best candidate to get the conservative vote as well as the religious right vote and at the same time be palatable to the mushy middle establishment types. We have to be on guard for the Fred Thompson spoiler candidates as well. It is a long way till Nov. 16.

If Boehner is ineffective it’s because he is trying to herd Tea Baggers (cats) who are defective. I am looking forward to when these Jokers have to Govern. Better build a bunker.
