Apparently not.<\/p>\n<p>The current debate on the suppression of the civil rights of gun owners has been winding it\u2019s way through the Senate. Most people have assumed that it would be crushed in the house, since only the Progressive Liberal Democrats would support it. (Along with a couple of RINO\u2019s) Well Crybaby decided to let fly with his inner, (And outer) RINOness. From <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20141231050435\/http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2013\/04\/17\/boehner-pressed-on-holding-votes-with-no-house-majority-as-guns-immigration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox News comes this story<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>House Speaker John Boehner is being pressed by the conservative wing of the Republican Party not to allow a vote on major pieces of legislation &#8212; from gun control to immigration &#8212; without majority Republican support, after recent signals that he could be open to building a coalition with Democrats.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Crybaby is a big government, big spending \u201cLiberal\u201d Republican. He is the classic Republican In Name Only. He and others like him have always caved in to the Democrats for one simple reason. Fear. Fear that he will be voted out of office if he doesn\u2019t give goodies to Liberal Cronies. Principles? To a Democrat Lite, they are \u201cflexible.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Tea Party favorite and second-term Rep. Tim Huelskamp is among the most recent to express concern, saying Tuesday that Boehner \u201cassured us\u201d that he&#8217;d seek a majority Republican coalition before proceeding on controversial bills.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy do we have the majority if we don\u2019t do what the majority wants?\u201d the Kansas Republican told FoxNews.com. \u201cI didn\u2019t come to Washington to give over the House to (Democratic Leader) Nancy Pelosi and moderate Republicans. This really concerns me.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Crybaby Boehner has always been a general sleazeball. He was part of a group that went after Newt Gingrich when he was Speaker of the House. Since he assumed the speakership, he has rolled over for Obama, dropped his pants and only requested the application of Vaseline prior to being sodomized. So what brought on the latest concern that Crybaby was going to roll over again?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Last Thursday, Boehner signaled he might sidestep the so-called Hastert Rule ((<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Majority_of_the_majority\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Hastert Rule<\/a>)). The &#8220;rule,&#8221; named after former House Speaker Dennis Hastert ((<a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dennis_Hastert\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">John Dennis &#8220;Denny&#8221; Hastert<\/a>)), holds that Republican leadership should allow votes only on bills that have a \u201cmajority of the majority\u201d on board &#8212; in other words, only if a majority of Republicans support them. Boehner has skirted this &#8220;rule&#8221; four times in the past four months.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hastert was no great shakes as speaker either. He helped push through a number of Bush programs that have since turned out to be a waste of money and resources. Eventually, it cost the Republicans the House and Hastert the Speakership.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Ohio Republican said Thursday he intended to \u201calways pass bills with strong Republican support\u201d but argued the rule \u201cwas never a rule to begin with.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In other words, he doesn\u2019t care what the fiscal and constitutional conservative Republicans think or want. All that\u2019s important is Crybaby\u2019s privileges. The latest threat by this walking, talking turd came about, as mentioned earlier, with the demands by Obama and the Progressive Liberal Democrats to cancel the Second Amendment by legislative fiat. There is also the Amnesty for Illegal Aliens being shoved through by the Progressive Liberal Democrats and the RINO caucus.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The gun debate may not reach the House anyway, with the Senate taking up key amendments to the bill Wednesday afternoon &#8212; and Democrats struggling to gain enough support. But immigration, the budget and the debt ceiling are all on the horizon. Boehner&#8217;s comments marked what appears to be a continuing power struggle between House leadership and some of the conference\u2019s most conservative members.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is actually more then just congress. The Republican Establishment, which John \u201cCrybaby\u201d Boehner is a paid up member, is in a fight for it\u2019s existence. These incompetent and utterly tone deaf fools have destroyed the legacy of Ronald Reagan. Of course they hated his guts in the first place. Their one big problem is that most of the Republican base liked Reagan and what he was able to do. It was this \u201cPissing on Reagan\u2019s memory\u201d and Bush\u2019s expansion of the Government that gave us Obama and the democrats control of Congress for 4 years. This gave rise to the \u201cTaxed Enough Already\u201d or Tea party that has been giving Crybaby and the other RINO\u2019s a serious case of the vapors. So, what is causing the Conservatives so much concern now?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Prior the comment, Boehner allowed floor votes without majority support on the fiscal crisis deal, aid for Superstorm Sandy victims, the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act and on a bill to allow the federal government to buy and protect historic battlegrounds.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There have been a number of people with constitutional concerns regarding the violence against women act. First, any normal man is utterly opposed to slapping around women, but from what I\u2019ve heard, there are serious due process issues with regards to this act. I\u2019m certainly no expert and have not looked into it. I\u2019m sure other have though. However, Crybaby\u2019s bypassing the Republicans who had problems with this act was not cool.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>After the April 5 Violence Against Women Act vote, Boehner tried to assure the House Republican Conference that he attempted to get the majority and was left with no other options, saying that breaking the rule was not something he would \u201cexpect to continue long term.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That same day, two of the conference\u2019s strongest conservatives &#8212; Reps. Paul Broun of Georgia, and Steve Stockman of Texas &#8212; drafted a letter that asked Boehner not to bring new gun measures to the floor without the majority.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The fact that Boehner hasn\u2019t told Reid to go pound sand on this unconstitutional bill, (Now looking like it\u2019s going down in flames), speaks volumes to the Constitutional Conservatives.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A Broun spokeswoman said Tuesday the congressman is also urging Boehner and others House leaders to respect the rule, especially on the gun-control issue. She said the letter now has 47 signatures from conference members.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Even Hastert has chimed in.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cHere is the problem,\u201d Hastert told Fox News Radio in January, after the fiscal crisis deal vote. \u201cMaybe you can (break the rule) once, maybe you can do it twice. But when you start making deals, when you have to get Democrats to pass the legislation, you are not in power anymore.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Hastert wasn\u2019t perfect when it came to the rule bearing his name. He ignored it a few times himself. Getting back to Crybaby, and his utter contempt for the TEA Party Republicans, since the 2012 election, he has been forcing out the conservative wing of the party.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>This is not the first time Huelskamp, who voted against Boehner for speaker in January, has wrestled with House leadership over votes.<\/p>\n<p>After winning re-election in November 2012, he was removed from the chamber\u2019s budget and agriculture committees.<\/p>\n<p>Republican Reps. Justin Amash, Michigan; David Schweikert, Arizona; and Walter Jones, North Carolina, also had a history of voting against leadership and were removed from committee assignments.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I remember this and recall certain \u201cPundits\u201d saying this was a good thing. Party discipline was important and the speaker needed to have his \u201ctype\u201d of people in charge of, or on these committees. There was nothing vindictive abut it. Yeah, right.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe GOP leadership might think they have silenced conservatives, but removing me and others from key committees only confirms our conservative convictions,\u201d Huelskamp said in December, after losing his assignments. \u201cThis is clearly a vindictive move.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course it was. Crybaby and the RINO wing are beginning to understand that they are not loved by most of the people. In fact, the only reason a lot of them are still in office is due to the huge amounts of money lobbyists throw at them to buy their votes. Of course, once in a while, one of the \u201cChosen Establishment\u201d Republicans gets his or her head handed to them in the primaries. (See Mike Castle, Richard Lugar, etc) The Establishment RINO\u2019s are not and will not listen to the conservative, constitutional and fiscal base or the Tea Party Republicans. (Which is sort of repetitive)<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe establishment is out of touch,\u201d Huelskamp said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Badly out of touch if you ask me. If Crybaby Boehner rams through another Progressive Liberal Democrat plan over the objections of the Conservatives, and actually teams up with the Progressive Liberal Democrats, he needs to be removed as speaker and blown out of office in the next election, either by a Real Republican or Progressive Liberal Democrat. After all, why have a Democrat light when you can have the real thing?<\/p>\n<p>Thatisall<\/p>\n<p><i><b>~The Angry Webmaster~<\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<span id=\"post-ratings-11523\" class=\"post-ratings\" data-nonce=\"8372ddf83c\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_11523_1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_on.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"1 Star\" title=\"1 Star\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(11523, 1, '1 Star');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(1, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_11523_2\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_off.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"2 Stars\" title=\"2 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(11523, 2, '2 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(1, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_11523_3\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_off.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"3 Stars\" title=\"3 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(11523, 3, '3 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(1, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_11523_4\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_off.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"4 Stars\" title=\"4 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(11523, 4, '4 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(1, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"rating_11523_5\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/stars_crystal\/rating_off.gif?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"5 Stars\" title=\"5 Stars\" onmouseover=\"current_rating(11523, 5, '5 Stars');\" onmouseout=\"ratings_off(1, 0, 0);\" onclick=\"rate_post();\" onkeypress=\"rate_post();\" style=\"cursor: pointer; border: 0px;\" \/> (<strong>2<\/strong> votes, average: <strong>1.00<\/strong> out of 5)<br \/><span class=\"post-ratings-text\" id=\"ratings_11523_text\"><\/span><\/span><span id=\"post-ratings-11523-loading\" class=\"post-ratings-loading\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/angry.net\/blog2\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-postratings\/images\/loading.gif?resize=16%2C16&#038;ssl=1\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" class=\"post-ratings-image\" \/>Loading...<\/span>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, the fiscal and constitutional wings of the House Republicans have been shafted time and time again by Speaker of the house John \u201cCrybaby\u201d Boehner.
