Boehner's confusing remarks about


Posted: May 20, 2014

February 2014:  "I think they're misleading their followers," Boehner said. "They're pushing our members in places where they don't want to be and, frankly, I just think that they've lost all credibility."

http://www.npr.org/2014/02/14/276977809/boehner-fights-back-against-tea-party-again


Now:  "I think the tea party has brought great energy to our political process," he said in response to a question about Tuesday's primaries, adding that he expects many Republican candidates will continue to adopt the tea party mantle in the future. But he disputed suggestions of a rift between traditional Republicans and upstart tea party-backed candidates.

So...they're misleading their followers and have lost all credibility, but they're not that different than the GOP and there is no rift?

Akin's RemarksAug 21, 2012
Pregnancy will not result unless a woman is raped, so if she gets pregnant, she wasn't really raped, she enjoyed it, the juices and secretions were flowing and welcomed the sperm.How insulting.  How disrespectful.This is what is borne out of selling your political soul to the right wing.  Poor Mr. Akin probably thought he'd get kudos from his party radicals riding on the snowball of their anti-female rhetoric.  After all, Paul Ryan co-signed his "forcible rape" ...

Racist RemarksMay 27, 2013
If you post a comment using racist terminology (we all know the common ones) against white people, black people, Hispanics, etc. OR calling another person racist, insinuating another poster is racist, or in general arguing about whether a poster is racist, your post will be deleted and if I delete more than one of your posts, you will be banned.  The hatred on both sides is getting almost unbearable to read through these days. It is absolutely reasonable to have discussions about race, rac ...

Controversy Over Dr.s Remarks About Patient's WeightNov 21, 2009
My husband told me he read somewhere on the Internet about an ophthalmologist telling an extremely obese patient that he was refusing to do her eye exam since she was going to lose her sight anyway because of her uncontrolled (apparently she's been noncompliant with her diabetic care) diabetes and obesity.  He told her she was obese and had better ose some weight What are your thoughts? He's just a jerk. He cares about his patients and knows her obesity is going to kill he ...

Obama Equates American And Cuban Revolutions, ConfusingMar 30, 2016
Right before his first tango in Buenos Aires, President Obama addressed the Cuban people (and the world) in an instantly famous speech from Havana’s Grand Theater. Among the highlights: “Here’s my message to the Cuban government and the Cuban people: The ideals that are the starting point for every revolution, America’s revolution, Cuba’s revolution, the liberation movements around the world, these ideals find their truest expression, I believe, in democracy.” (U.S. President O ...

News in from Ohio, the home state of the Boehner.  Apparently the republ guvinator, the self-same fella whose first act in office was ramming through a union busting law (which was later overwhelmingly swatted down by the voters) decided he was going to give his State O' The State address in a small town (302 miles round trip) instead of the state capitol.  He claims it will add no cost.  Guess he doesnt consider satellite equipment and the cost and time of all the LEGISLATOR ...

BOEHNER BLINKSOct 10, 2013
I hope the blowback to the GOP is like a death knell to the party.  You don't try to score political points on the backs of those who are hurt in a partial shutdown - ordinary hardworking people from all party affiliations. I guess they thought this was THE ONLY way to get the president to negotiate, but I don't think that's true.  It's because they tried to tie OBAMACARE to the vote - he was willing to negotiate anything else. Here is the unavoidable truth: NO ON ...

Boehner A Traitor?Jan 23, 2015
  I think it absolutely dead wrong that he invited Netanyahu without consulting the White House.  Seems now it is being reported that there is great opposition in Israel for Netanyahu to go to speak before Congress also.  It is thought that Netanyahu had a hand in prompting this "speech" before Congress to promote himself in the elections in Israel. I think Netanyahu will back out.  At least we won't have to try Boehner as a traitor then.  That would just be mes ...

Boehner Is Becoming Invincible--they Won'tOct 10, 2015
Boehner insists he wants to leave as scheduled at the end of October, but if Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., won't agree to replace him, it may take a while for a consensus to form around an alternative. "While we go through this process, we've got to continue to address the people's priorities. This institution cannot grind to a halt," Boehner told Republicans Friday morning in a closed-door session. "It is my hope — and indeed it is my plan — for this House to elect a new speaker ...

Great Article On Boehner By BBCOct 08, 2013
"On a very simple level, the closing of most of the American federal government can be pinned on the ambitions of one man, Speaker of the House John Boehner. ... This Congress is held in the lowest public esteem since the invention of public opinion polls. And the Republicans are more disliked than the Democrats. Once seen as a skilled dealmaker, Mr Boehner isn't able to make deals. Never seen as an ideologue, he has now relinquished control of the Republican policy agenda to the party&# ...

Boehner Is Still House SpeakerJan 06, 2015
Watching the "opening" ceremonies. Boehner looks ill, irritated, like he might cry (that's sort of normal), but he doesn't look right. I guess he might just be irritated with Pelosi. He really needs to get a grip. He survived the challenge. Seems some of the Tea Party broke ranks and didn't support him. ...

If that happens, I believe we’re going to see a “war” between the moderates claiming Republicans have to start being more inclusive to other demographics of voters, while the tea party conservatives are going to claim that the GOP keeps losing because they’re not running “real co ...
