Patriot or TraitorHouse Speaker John Boehner has apparently become a master at what Government Accountability Institute President Peter Schweizer calls the “Tollbooth Strategy.” As Schweizer explains in his new book, Extortion: How Politicians Extract Your Money, Buy Votes, and Line Their Own Pockets: “You pay money at a tollbooth in order to use a road or bridge. The methodology in Washington is similar: if someone wants a bill passed, charge them money to allow the bill to move down the legislative highway.” According to Schweizer, Boehner apparently used the Tollbooth Strategy to collect more than $200,000 in political donations from executives just days before holding votes on bills critically important to their industries.
The first bill was the Wireless Tax Fairness Act. Strongly supported by big phone companies like AT&T and Verizon, it sailed through the House Judiciary Committee, and was expected to immediately come to the floor for a full House vote. Instead of scheduling the bill for a vote, however, Boehner allowed it to languish on the calendar for the next three months. What finally prompted Boehner to bring the bill to a vote? As Schweizer explains it: “The day before the vote, Boehner’s campaign collected the toll: thirty-three checks from wireless industry executives, totaling almost $40,000.”
According to Schweizer, two more bills on which Boehner employed the Tollbooth Strategy were the Access to Capital for Job Creators Act and the Small Company Capital Formation Act. Brokers and venture capitalists and investment firms strongly supported the proposed law. Explains Schweizer in Extortion: “The Speaker of the House took in $91,000 in the forty-eight hours of October 30 and 31 from investment banks and private equity firms, two days before the vote. During the same time period, he took in $46,500 from self-described ‘investors’ and another $32,450 from bank holding companies. With the tolls paid, the votes took place on the full House floor. Both passed easily.”
There is a truly treasonous form of evil afloat in the Republican controlled House of Representatives, and his name is John Boehner.
We can’t express strongly enough how evil Boehner and his co-conspirators are. The American people spoke LOUDLY in November. They gave Republicans control of the Senate, and an even larger control of the House, with the specific mission of stopping Obama dead in his tracks. Stopping amnesty and killing ObamaCare, once and for all, were the two big issues that saw the GOP take historic wins. The message couldn’t have been clearer.
However, Speaker of the House John Boehner almost immediately signaled he would not fight Obama in any way. This includes Boehner and his cronies wanting to give amnesty to illegal aliens. ALL illegal aliens. Any tough talk coming out of the mouths of these treasonous “progressive” Republican bastards was just theater to fool those who don’t really pay attention. Typically, Boehner and his cohorts would rather fight Conservatives, who wish to save America, rather than Obama and his democrats, who are hell-bent on destroying it.
A prime example of this is, Boehner’s henchmen took a piece of legislation [H.R. 5759] written by Congressman Ted Yoho [R-FL] co-sponsored by Gohmert, and completely changed the wording and intent of the bill in Executive Committee. Boenher actually took a very short and concise piece of legislation that reminded President Obama what he was doing was illegal, and actually changed the wording in a manner that would STRENGTHEN Obama’s position on amnesty, and other unconstitutional power grabs by the president.
Reading how this was done reminds us that liberals [no matter what political party they call home] are pure evil and will do anything and everything to further their agenda. Nothing is out of bounds to these rat-bastards, including lying to members of their own party! The Yoho bill is something Boehner intends to use as the centerpiece of his entire Continuing Resolution that will fund Obama’s agenda, including amnesty, through March of 2015.
At what point does the nation as a whole wake up and say enough is enough? Yes, America is a divided nation. Divided between those brainwashed by the educational system into believing that America is a Marxist Socialist nation and those who have read the United States Constitution and actually understand what that Constitution means.
As Americans we must stand up and demand that this injustice, this act of treason against the United States and her people, be dealt with. Boehner and his cohorts need to be removed from their positions of power. They are evil and corrupt, and at the very least, the entire House Republican leadership needs to be thrown out of power.
John Boehner couldn’t possible care less what the United States Constitution actually says, his only concern is how much money and power he can gain by exploiting the stupidity and ignorance of the American people. Yes, John Boehner is exactly the same as his Democrat counterparts. He has every intention of lying to, deceiving and whatever else is required to ensure he gets his at your expense.
Hey Mr. 60 minutes. Tell me something I don’t know. Lol. That line is actually from a movie.
They are all traitors. Anyone who approved the Patriot Act, Homeland Defense Act,or a myriad of other similar bills and voted to fund them, is a traitor to his/her oath and should be run out of town on a rail.
I think it is quite clear he never worked for We The People. So he is not a traitor.
He is a thief, murderer, and a contracting agent of murder, torture, theft, and deception with intent to defraud. Probably f$%ks kids too.
Its not a matter of if he has committed a crime its WHEN THE HELL WILL PEOPLE STRIKE THIS POS DOWN and then STRING HIM UP for those crimes?
Like djl says, “Tell me something I don’t know”.
In any case, when is this asswipe gonna be arrested for sedition and treason? I wanna see his ass crying in his cell.
