Defeating John Boehner in 2012 is Priority #1


As a concerned American I have questioned the direction the Democratic party has taken in the 2012 elections.

I specifically want to know why the DNC, DCCC and Team Obama have not made unseating Representative John Boehner a #1 2012 election priority?

They had a good candidate in 2010 but did not back him.

What is wrong with you people? Are you stuck on stupid?

John Boehner is the General of the Republican Party in the House of Representatives. He needs to be defeated in 2012.

A national contribution campaign needs to be started to support the Democratic candidate running against John Boehner. A $5 donation is all that is required from every person on your mailing list.

Let's defeat all of the Republicans this November starting with John Boehner.

Seniors "Strap on your work boots".

"He tells seniors to strap on their work boots for an extra five years of labor before they can retire at 70 years of age."

Yet 'John' can retire with full benefits and a $24 million cut from American's Social Security so he and his colleague's medical records can be digitized /computerized. His $Retirement will be a hefty 80% of the highest 3yrs salary.

Voted himself a raise 0f $3400 in 2004.

Once again, we must ask…where do you start with John Boehner since he finds it impossible to open his mouth without uttering nonsense or offending millions of Americans? In recent days he has defended BP, derided unemployed workers while denying them essential benefits and this week he tells seniors to strap on their work boots for an extra five years of labor before they can retire at 70 years of age. Maybe he can hire a few of our senior citizens as caddies for himself and his lobbyist friends--- thereby assuring them of at least 119 days of work annually at luxurious locations in exotic locales and-- best of all-- it’s on the corporate tab.

John Boehner Out of Touch Representation


John Boehner lives in a gated country club, isolated from middle-class citizens and their daily struggles.

He hosted 119 golf outings in 2009 while his constituents struggled to keep their homes, keep their jobs and keep their families together under the crushing weight of a global economic recession.

Instead of defending the voters in his district, John Boehner promised his Wall Street donors he would stand in the way of reforms and consumer protections in exchange for campaign contributions.

2011 Debt Ceiling Debate

During the "Debt Ceiling Debate" John Boehner held Americans hostage to the whims of the Republican party demanding spending cuts or letting America default on our National Debt.

The nation's mounting debt is largely attributable to wars, a recession and tax policies President Obama inherited from his predecessor. Worse still, the Ryan 2012 budget proposal backed by almost every Republican in both houses of Congress would not only drain another $4 trillion in tax revenue from the Treasury, but fail all of the spending and balanced budget targets they themselves propose. Nevertheless, Republicans who voted seven times to double the debt ceiling under George W. Bush would risk the national economic suicide they admit would come to pass if their demands are not met.


It is time to put John Boehner on the roles of the "Unemployed".

From the land of "Bring a chicken to the Dr."

John Boehner wants to raise the retirement age to 70.

I'm wondering why the good people of Ohio want to keep this guy as their Representative.

Eric Cantor wants to 'offset' the aid for Hurricane Irene with spending cuts.

Congress raised the debt limit 87 times since WW2 without any spending cuts.

Paul Ryan wants to eliminate Medicare and Social Security.

Rick Perry thinks Social Security is a Ponzi scheme.

Michelle Bachmann believes God sent Hurricane Irene up the East coast so that Congress would cut spending.

The crazies from the funny farm out broken.
