Title: John Boehner says NO to earmarks

I felt this needed it's own thread since the noise on GDT Raw Story report would have been impossible to break through.

Raw Story

Below are two articles that contradict his posting. Both are dated 11/5/10, and the first is written by Boehner himself. It's hard to believe he would go on Fox, Thursday, 11/4, state what GDT reports, and then author the WSJ article the next day. Let me say all these "leaders" need close watching, but I suggest we get things right before we jump the gun.

I have no idea what report(s) are correct at this moment, and if Raw Story is indeed more accurate that the WSJ, the Republican Party will blow a large hole in it's foot, thus allowing Tea Party folk to fully separate from the vehicle they used to carry them into congress.

I suggest we read the articles, and put the rope back in the closet until we know more.

I have maintained a no-earmarks policy throughout my time of service in Congress. I believe the House must adopt a moratorium on all earmarks as a signal of our commitment to ending business as usual in the spending process. *******

Let's see what he does, and ignore what they press says he said. (And thanks for posting, Jethro.)

You're welcome randge. Some here are so filled with rage that Pelosi is gone they can't think straight.

So sorry these articles don't fit your template, but nevertheless, you'd be wise to hold your fire until you know the facts.

They should "suspect" they're going to be watched closely! Who knows if they do.. But a tally sheet after a year will start showing whether a Third Party is going to have to be started using the TEA Party as the core.

Agree. They're on a very tight probation. It won't take much for the Tea Party folk to gather, split, and leave them in the dust. Since they don't take office until January, I think it's a bit premature to begin to declare a victory a failure, but as you say, we will be watching.

Gentlemen...

We are ALL on the Titanic.

The lifeboats will be reserved for the elite, the rest of us can sink or swim on our own.

As for Boner and the newbies, we have to face the facts of history, a change of power has never altered the course of politics and the future in this country. Never.

Jerthro, some of those here are doing everything they can to attack the Tea Party. Facts be damned for them.

And this last election the third party/write-in ballots were rinos.

For decades the rinos used the excuse that rank and file republicans should not use third parties, and instead work within the party. Then, last primary, when the Tea Party did just that and won, it showed the hypocrisy of the rinos.

Unlike the Titanic, we have guns, and if we can not hijack the lifeboats, we will sink them instead.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees the obvious, Paul. These folks won't arrive in Washington until January, yet the demonetization has begun. No more. Lets see what develops, and when and if they eff up, we'll be their harshest critics.

We cannot overlook the fact that the elite have hired goons with guns to make sure only the elite are safe, that the unwashed go down with the Titanic.

When the government Federalizes all law enforcement, nation wide, we may bet a few but they will get all of us.

"...Government leaders are servants of the people; the people are not servants of their government..."

Words that every "public servant" should have on a plaque on their desks, one nailed to the desk and facing them. Or maybe even tattooed on their arms.

Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end.
Lord Acton

He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic.

Very possible, but as of now, the military & the police departments are a solid vote against the Kenyan. I don't see that changing before '12.

So, after the first wave, the goons and elitists are taken care of in the second wave.

This forum has become a sounding board for democrat shills, losers and malcontents.

We need to clean house. There are at least 4 posters here that belong at DU or the nest, we all know who they are. Who will have the courage to show them the door? It's not a "free speech" issue, it's defending yourself from propaganda attacks from the left and those who benefit from it.

The Tea Party has a chance to reclaim this country over the next few cycles, we don't need some RAT stooges muddying the waters before a single one of our people are sworn in.

Show them no mercy, just show them the door.

On the first Titanic...

First class (elites)

119 died 200 survived...63 per cent

Steerage class...(unwashed masses)

527 died

172 survived...25 per cent

Crew...

703...died

215...survived...23 per cent

I see no reason to change the figures for the second Titanic.

Have to disagree.

It is not up to you or me to decide if it is a lie or not. If we want to refute it, that is our option.

There is plenty of pap, pablum and poop here as on any forum (propaganda) all brought to us via free speech. We need to learn to cope with it, as the alternative is much worse.

Well now, if you are going to get personal, I will not post.

What I posted had nothing to do with you, it was the facts, listing the survivors.

The crew had a lower survival rate than the masses, I find that admiral.

I drink vitamin Beer for breakfast. For lunch, I usually start my afternoons off with continuous chasers called Redbreast. For dinner, I like to bathe in variations of rum or vodka.

And then I start the next day off all over again.... similar to the broken record of Washington DC that you believe can change in some sort of direction that never can or never shall be because of a few voters caught up in some sort of euphoria.
