Boehner on Amnesty... now he is a martyr

He is talking about groups like Heritage. He and his pals despise them because they take on incumbents. Guys like him, Cantor and Ryan who sell us out. We were saving money with the sequester but they hated it because the big defense cotnractors were upset. So Ryan sold us out on a deal. Just like that weasel Boehner is planning to do on immigration.

House Speaker John Boehner theatrically mocked his fellow Republican Congressmen for being afraid to reform immigration policy when he spoke Thursday before the Middletown Rotary Club.

Your leaders are determined to sell you out, Jem

Ohio GOP Legislator Accused of Insulting Veterans In Hearing.

A Republican lawmaker in Ohio insulted veterans in a hearing he led this month on renewable-energy standards, according to a veteran in attendance.

Iraq War veteran Dan Sawmiller, who is also the Sierra Club's senior campaign representative for Ohio and Kentucky, wrote a letter to the state Senate president on April 14 criticizing Sen. Bill Seitz (R), the Public Utilities Committee chairman, for calling the hearing a "Bataan Death March." From Sawmiller's letter:

On April 9, 2014, I testified as a representative of the Sierra Club in front of your Senate’s Public Utilities Committee, chaired by Senator Bill Seitz. Just before my testimony, the Senator referred to Ohio’s existing clean energy law as a “Bataan Death March.” In case you’re not familiar, the Bataan Death March consisted of 80,000 American and Filipino soldiers who were victims of a heinous war crime where captured troops were forced to march 80 miles through the jungle of the Philippines. They were starved, physically abused, tortured and brutally murdered. As many as 650 American soldiers were killed during the march alone. Those who made it through were tortured as prisoners of war and killed on Japan-bound ships. The selfless service of these veterans is something to be honored, not mocked.

Sawmiller also noted that Seitz opened a pack of cigarettes before leaving the room during one veteran's testimony.

"This behavior is completely devoid of any honor or respect, and is not becoming of the Ohio Senate or the State of Ohio," he added.

GOP Lawmaker Says Women Don't Deserve Equal Pay Because They're Lazier

New Hampshire state Rep. Will Infantine (R) explained that the pay gap between men and women stems from the fact that men work harder, take riskier jobs and are “more motivated by money” during a House speech Wednesday against the state’s paycheck equity bill.

“Men by and large make more because of some of the things they do. Their jobs are, by and large, more riskier,” Infantine, a former chairman of the Manchester Republican Committee, said on Wednesday, as captured by progressive advocacy group Granite State Progress. “They don’t mind working nights and weekends. They don’t mind working overtime, or outdoors in the elements.”

I wonder if that guy has ever had to work like that. Doing what you have to, sacrificing time with family and punishing the mind and body to make a living and not "mind working overtime" are two completely different things.
 
yes, they are the same cronies who turned single payer into obama insurance company care. The cronies seem to own about 1.3 of the 2 parties.

Boehner appears to be trying to make the GOP more widely appealing to the voting public (it's a mystery why) and I wish he'd stop it.
; )
 
he is doing what the establishment Rs and the democrats have been doing for years. Serving the cronies. Its why it was reported a few days ago that our taxpaying / middle class is no longer the wealthiest middle class. Our middle class has moved far down the world list.

Massive spending, inflation and taxes... destroys the value of middle class savings and wealth.

But the government did close off a "border" recently in Nevada. The border was called a "free speech zone," meaning if you wanted to exercise the 1st Amendment, you had to go to a government approved area.:mad:The gov can pull horse shit like this, but WON'T close our border for fear hispanic voting retribution. Yep, God bless America.:mad:
