[UPDATE: John Boehner has stated that elements of this, such as the Jom Jordan re-districting retribution, are just a rumor. As much as I wish to support the Republican Speaker by virtue of the job, it is not inconceivable that “just a rumor” would be enough to get him past a crucial vote. A spokesman for Jim Jordan, for example, did not seem quite convinced that there was nothing behind it, choosing his words carefully “We would hope that standing strong in favor of lower spending and balancing the federal budget would not be a reason to eliminate the district of a sitting member of Congress.” Hardly confident. — hbd ]
STOP the Boehner-McConnell-Reid-Obama series of bills! These are stalking horses for Democrat control so that cowardly Republicans don’t have to bear the burden of governing. That’s not pretty, but that’s the way I see it. The GOP leadership has consistently thrown away every advantage they have been given by motiovated conservatives, with no small degree of scorn to boot, and now Boehner declares war on the Heritage Foundation.
Boehner’s feel-good “repeal” of ObamaCare was of course shot down in the Senate, and the GOP has not lifted a finger against ObamaCare since. MEANWHILE, the Heritage Foundation has a case against ObamaCare in petition for cert at the Supreme Court RIGHT NOW. You don’t need the Weather Underground to know which way the wind blows.
