So, why a reversal on the earmark ban? "Only because some things that people call earmarks here, uh, wouldn't classify as an earmark to the American people," he explained to Fox News host Bret Baier.

These old school GOPrs need disciplining.

Country Club Republicans -vs- Country Class Republicans.

There are more of us than there are of them. Perhaps Boehner didn't listen to Michael Steele when he declared that the Tea Party put them "on probation".

Sounds like its time to hold them in contempt.

Somewhere, Jimmy Carter is laughing and saying, "Finally! I won't be the worst President ever!"

The refusal to ban earmarks should not come as a surprise to media savvy tea party Republicans. Appearing on Fox News just days before the elections, Boehner repeatedly refused to answer whether or not the party would end the practice, saying instead that a GOP-run House would not conduct "business as usual."

This is just like bush when he refused to say whether he would appoint conservative candidates to the supreme court. He said he would appoint "strict constutionalists" to the supreme court and we all know now what some of us did during the campaign he was baffling the voters with bullshit A supreme court with "real conservatives" would have thrown his criminal ass in jail.

In fact, just got off an aggravating phonecon with dad earlier today in which he reiterated his support for our military exploits and called me a kook.

Just ask him a couple of questions (although 911 is the key - I would be willing to bet that he believes the "Official Fairy Tale™" of the 19magicArabswhohateuscuzwe'refree).

However, if you really want to force him to think (warning he might explode) ask him any of the following questions. Keep your cool and realize that you will likely get an emotional tirade as he is forced to confront the contradictions. Regardless of what he says just keep asking the question - you can vary it a bit to keep it from sounding repetitive or robotic. However, eventually you'll break through the shell he's built around it. The key is one question at a time and keep asking it until he answers it without repeating back the Nooze Media programming.

Ask him:

Where are the WMD's?

Alternated with: "Why do you believe that?"

Why does Osama Bin Laden's FBI most wanted poster NOT list 911 as one of his crimes?

Why did Colin Powell get up in front of the U.N. and knowingly lie?

How is it that 2 airplanes knocked down 3 buildings? (He is probably unaware or nearly unaware of WTC 7. Show him the video of the collapse if you can.)

I could think of others but the point is to keep it to simple questions which show how the official fairy tale is a lie. Don't state your own opinion or your opinion of his opinion. You have to play this tactic with a lot of confront and suppress any urge to laugh, criticize, or condemn. The point is to make him look. Something he likely is very studiously avoiding.

Why is 911 not listed on Osama Bin Laden's FBI Most Wanted Poster?

Where are the WMD's?

Why kind of aircraft hit WTC7?

I need no proof. Your trademarck "Official Fairy Tale™" exemption demands PROOF.

Why is 911 not listed on Osama Bin Laden's FBI Most Wanted Poster?

Beats me. Maybe the USA ran out of money looking for the cretin. HELL, the USA doesn't even look for illegals crossing the US border anymore.

Where are the WMD's?

Aren't those locked-upped in GWBush's brain trust with Cheney, Wolfowitz and et al?

Why kind of aircraft hit WTC7?

It fell because of earlier structural issues that were exasperated by the tremendous force of the nearby felled buildings (twin towers) caused by Majick carpets.

This is a slap in the face of the Tea Party. A throwing down of the gauntlet, as it were. We need to squash this quick. A money bomb to fund an exploratory committee to find a Tea Party candidate in his district would be a nice push back.
