MEMBER DIARY

Boehner Just Can’t Catch A Break

I really don’t like writing this diary. But when I hear liberals trashing Boehner despite all of his efforts to show them that he is “reasonable” by selling out at least what I think are his own party’s core beliefs, I want to scream and rage at the sky over the fact we are living in Dr. Seuss times.

You see this puts me in a mixed up position where I feel I am forced to defend a leader who I think has done an terrible job representing our interests and that of this country. Unfortunately, even though it pains me I feel it necessary to point out the fact to libs that so far Speaker Boehner has given Obama everything he wants involving taxes and is poised to give him more. And yet the President still treats him like George Mcfly by placing a “Kick Me” sign on his back with a arrow pointing to his butt. This is just painful to watch and I get a headache thinking about it. Like I said, these are very strange times we live in. This is even worse than the predicament that I found myself in watching President Bush wander off the reservation by doing things like signing campaign finance reform, trying to appoint Harriet Myers to the Supreme Court and then going all green in his last State of the Union address. Remember”America is addicted to oil!”

I may not have a point in writing this diary other than to get these things off my chest. But along with that, I make an impassioned plea for a true conservative leader to rise from the ashes of this wreckage we as Republicans are sifting through. We are rudderless people– absolutely rudderless!

    You must have heard me. Not five minutes ago I was pondering the same miserable situation we find ourselves in with our gutless wonders — Boehner and McConnell — and I prayed for the Lord to raise up true, Godly, passionate leaders to lead us out of this mess.

    And don’t feel bad. Many of my diaries are the result of a need for catharsis on an issue that infuriates me. Usually, there are many others here who feel the same and appreciate the self-disclosure and a chance to vent.
