Why Is John Boehner Afraid of the Yosemite Sam Wing of His Caucus?

[Interpol]

I just don't get it.

Why is Boehner afraid of being "primaried" by some crazy yokel in his district?

The GOP big money would of course fund Boehner's campaign and not the Tea Partier, since even the Kochs have abandoned the beast they helped to create.

At 74% disapproval, the Republicans aren't fooling any of us. Just the Tea Party.

We all know that John Boehner and the Republicans went home tonight, announcing there would be no votes on anything. Why? Because Democrats and Republicans have the votes to re-open the government and pay our bills on time instead of refusing to pay. And the Tea Party hates that there are the votes, so the threat is on Boehner to either not put the Clean CR up to a vote if he hopes to want to not face a TP challenge.

We know that Republicans rigged the House two weeks ago so that nothing could be put forward, and they keep wasting all our time trying to convince us they're the good guys here, when it's clear to everyone they're fully responsible for this because they're too afraid to tell their spoiled children NO! Shut up and siddown! You don't always get to WIN EVERYTHING!

Boehner could have prevented the whole thing and focused all Republican energy on picking at Obamacare with everything open and no looming default. Instead, he and his colleagues have chosen to waste our time and harm this country in order to allow the Yosemite Sams to come out and re-enact a Civil War they lost 150 years ago.

John Boehner would be America's hero right now if he were tell the Tea Party to go suck an egg. Why he won't do it says something about his character in times of crisis. He sits on his hands instead of acting.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Hell, yes, he's afraid of not being Speaker.

That sounds inflammatory to me....

 

[Katzndogz]

He knows that the RINO republicans would all be replaced and Ted Cruz will be speaker. He's trying to help keep the old guard standing.

He knows that the RINO republicans would all be replaced and Senator Ted Cruz will be speaker. He's trying to help keep the old guard standing.

/facepalm

yes...because that's even allowed under the constitution

Quite the opposite. All the biggest nutcase teabaggers got thrown out on their asses in 2012, Bachmann barely won, and is quitting after this term. All the sane republicans kept their jobs.

But keep right on thinking the GOP needs to keep going to the off the charts far right they are, it will make things a walk for the democrats next year

 

[percysunshine]

John Boehner would be America's hero right now if he were to tell Obama to go suck an egg.

Alas, he is a surrender monkey and will cave tomorrow.

He's been telling Obama to go suck an egg for the past two weeks...it hasn't gotten him far, policy or poll wise.

Obabble already has Reid in his mouth...he can only handle so much at once.

 

[tinydancer]

He isn't afraid of them. But he does realize that they are elected representatives and have a voice within the House.

He has been offering compromise after compromise. Each successive one getting less and less. Obama has held firm and compromised on nothing. The guy is probably a good poker player. Anyway, the surrender monkey has nothing left and nowhere to go. Look for a clean CR tomorrow to hit the floor and a suspension of the Hastert rule.

Cave in 5..4..3..

This should help.

After this is over, Cruz will be lucky if they allow him in Washington at all. He'll be on the road with Palin anyway. Frick and Frack.

Aren't you quick? Son, the other 75% of Americans dislike or hate the TPM. If he continues caving to the TPM he will eventually lose his Speakership and his seat.

he and his colleagues have chosen to waste our time

Wow, a Pelosi quoter among us! I heard her say that and thought "boy, what kind of self-righteous idiot would believe her bullshit?"

Sorry, no flame intended, that's just what I thought when I heard her say it on television today.

The truth is Boehner gets along very well with his colleagues, even when there is spirited debate. And he's holding the line on the greedy Pelosis, Reeds, and others who are siphoning the people's money for their children through favorable no-lose loans in which default results in their relatives cash cow at the people's expense.

Pelosi's certainly playing violated that Boehner is interrupting her little armada of armored cars lined up at the US Treasury for cash for hers, Reids, and selected supporters windfall accounts.

She's banking on the fact that a lot of Americans have forgotten about Solyndra's sacking of 1400 American workers 18 months after Obama screamed old billy at the Treasurer to write a check to his generous pals in Solyndra for $535 million dollars. That's over half a billion. Of course, with electronic transfers, it's hard for the sleeping giant to understand how many armored cars it would take to carry that much money from Washington DC to Fremont, California, where 1400 people got sacked from their Solyndra jobs because the company failed, and the owners were just recovering their investment by stupid loans Nancy Pelosi arranged for her part-owner BIL.

She and Reid were both cited on the "10 Most Corrupt Politicians and Runner up lists" last year.

I think the French wrote a ditty for folks who aren't paying attention.

Are you sleeping?
Are you sleeping?
Brother John?
Brother John?
Morning bells are ringing,
Morning bells are ringing,
Ding! Ding! Dong!
Ding! Ding! Dong!
