John Boehner Calls Ted Cruz A ‘Jackass’ At Fundraiser
« on: August 27, 2015, 07:21:49 pm »
I am outraged that this drunken, crying POS has the gall to trash this good and decent man .. a man, running for President and who is a GOP member!!

Any bets that this POS has made a deal with the Democrats?

Speaker of the House John Boehner stunned audience members Wednesday evening at a Colorado fundraiser by referring to Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz as a “jackass,” two people in attendance tell The Daily Caller.

At a Steamboat Springs event for GOP Rep. Scott Tipton, the Ohio Republican quipped that he likes how Cruz’s presidential campaign keeps “that jackass” out of Washington, and from telling Boehner how to do his job.

Ummm... pardon my ignorance, please, but why do you suppose a Senator from Ohio would be raising funds in Colorado?

Boehner trashing a nationally known constitutional conservative in Colorado for an unknown Tipton?  You answered your own question.  IMO

John Boehner Calls Ted Cruz A ‘Jackass’ At Fundraiser

Posted By Alex Pappas On 1:00 PM 08/27/2015 In | No Comments



Speaker of the House John Boehner stunned audience members Wednesday evening at a Colorado fundraiser by referring to Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz as a “jackass,” two people in attendance tell The Daily Caller.

At a Steamboat Springs event for GOP Rep. Scott Tipton, the Ohio Republican quipped that he likes how Cruz’s presidential campaign keeps “that jackass” out of Washington, and from telling Boehner how to do his job.

That remark rubbed some attendees the wrong way.

“I don’t think it’s terribly speaker-like, and I think it kind of goes against everything that Reagan ever said about disparaging Republicans,” said Ed MacArthur, the president of Native Excavating, who attended the fundraiser.

“It’s becoming very disturbing to me that we can’t have good, polite conversation,” MacArthur said. “It all has to be at the throat.”

But MacArthur added: “I do believe he’s got the right to say it.”

Another Steamboat Springs resident confirmed Boehner’s remark: “I about fell on the floor.”

“To build coalitions to work together in Washington, D.C., you don’t start it out by calling your colleague a ‘jackass,'” she said.

The fundraiser took place at a tavern-styled venue called the Ghost Ranch. About 100 or more people were there. Boehner and Tipton addressed the crowd while standing in front of a stage.

It’s no surprise that Boehner and Cruz have a rocky relationship. The Texas senator and the speaker have clashed over tactics and policy. And Cruz, on the campaign trail, often criticizes the Republican Washington establishment.

For Cruz, the attack could be helpful: Boehner is not beloved by the conservative grassroots activists the Texas senator is courting. And it could further endear Cruz to voters who find Donald Trump’s anti-Washington message appealing.

The Daily Caller has reached out to Boehner, Cruz and Tipton’s press offices for comment.

Whatever happened to the idea of removing Boehner as speaker?  Looks like that was nothing but talk.  Boehner, McConnell, Reid, Pelosi, Obama are all on the same team.  Cruz refuses to play ball.

This has got to have the GOPe quaking in their boots.  If these two broke off and ran as a third party ticket with the backing of Jeff Sessions, Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh they could easily become the nexus of a new party that would mean the de facto end of the GOP.  The Republican Party would become a party of a few out of touch crony capitalists in country clubs, while the real citizens of the USA divided according to their affection for big government.

Boo Hoo's not a Senator, he's a member of the House.

My bad - I meant to say "Speaker"; then it was too late to correct it once I noticed the error. "Boo-Hoo" is an appropriate appellation, however.

From your lips, professor.

I don't relish the thought of the GOP going the way of Whigs, but they have stopped fighting for me. I'm getting buried; my income has shrunk to almost nothing under Obamacare. And the GOP made certain promises to me that they have not kept. The GOP brand name just isn't enough for me to remain loyal anymore.
