John Boehner is the Tea Party

Reporting on the nations fiscal crisis is way out of context.  Each article makes you think that the speaker of the house, John Boener has a gun to his head by a small gang of thugs called the Tea Party or their Republican mentors called Hard Line Conservatives.  Not one article has stated that the speaker of the house is the head of the Tea Party movement.  Why not?  The speaker changed the rules in the house so that only his designee can bring up a vote.  The speaker of the house pointed the gun at the president and stated his terms or he would shut down the United States of America government.  The government is shut down and on the brink of financial default.  But it is not the speaker of the house's fault?  Wake the hell up people.

How many ways can the Speaker of the House blame the hardliners of the GOP labeled as the Tea Party or Hard Line Conservatives for not funding the government or keep it shut down?  All that he wants.  He is the leader of the hardliners and the head of the TEA PARTY!  Call a spade a spade.  Only the house can fund the government but that is not entirely true.

President Obama has one move if  the Speaker of the House refuse or forces the White House into a move to fund the government and avoid default.  Executive order.  Four powers have one sidebar that over rules all.  The President is sworn to defend the nation under the Constitution and if the other three (House, Senate & Supreme Court) fail in any form that would harm the nation, the President has Executive Order privilege.

Holding America hostage financially for political gain that ended up being the one thing that destroyed your entire political party was the worst idea thought up and endorsed by Speaker Boehner.  At some point in time he thought that shutting down the government of the United States of America was a good idea.  That was his first mistake.  His second mistake was refusing to lead the House in a time of financial crisis and he should be impeached.  How many lawyers do we have in the House and how long will it take them to figure that parliamentary rule from the 1800's?

Pelosi Travel Gate NOT Busted

ABC News has tracked down all the documentation on Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and her use of Military aircraft and the results are shocking! Apparently the Speaker fly’s back home to San Francisco about once a month. I’m shocked! I’m outraged and disgusted at this abuse of our military. Who the hell does Nancy Pelosi think she is? Um… third in line to the President, you say? And this practice of the Speaker of the House using military aircraft was instituted after 9/11 to secure the succession of our government should another terrorist organization attack our government. Well I didn't know that. Never mind this near miss controversy.

It turns out that Judicial Watch, who originally broke the case has overblown the situation and never looked at the comparison factor of one Denny Hastert, AKA former GOP Speaker of the House. Denny racked up frequent flyer miles every single weekend but that fact is lacking in the Judicial Watch report. It looks like this sword cuts both ways but one of them was really taking advantage of the service.

Just when the Mini Publicans thought they had a beauty of a scandal it turns out they shot themselves in the foot… again! Open mouth, insert bloody foot.

Thank you Memorandum for the tip!
