Boehner endorses Romney for president
House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) ended his neutrality in the GOP presidential primary and formally endorsed Mitt Romney on Tuesday.
The top Republican on Capitol Hill told reporters that he was "proud" to support Romney now that it has become clear that the former Massachusetts governor would be the Republican nominee.
"It's clear now that Mitt Romney is going to be our nominee," Boehner said at a press conference. "I think Mitt Romney has a set of economic policies that can put Americans back to work and, frankly, contrast sharply with the failed economic policies of President Obama."
"I will be proud to support Mitt Romney and do everything I can to help him win," Boehner added.
Boehner had remained doggedly neutral throughout the primary, partly due to his high-profile position. Even still, many of the other members of the Republican leadership team in the House endorsed Romney. The most visible declaration arguably came from Boehner's deputy, Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), who endorsed Romney shortly before Virginia's primary.

(1,372 posts)he keeps it a secret so he can use it after he's elected.
This sounds rather treasonous to me.
In other words:
Let's let the country fail for four years so we can save it ourselves.
So, suppose that in the future each party blocks the efforts of the other
to make any progress - nothing gets done for another 4 or 8 or 12 years.
What in the hell has our government turned in to?
It doesn't take a 10 year old to see that this needs to be changed - and quickly!
ENOUGH OF THE BULLS#@T - THIS ISN'T A GAME PEOPLE!

Ancient history, now, I suppose.

What do these words even mean?
It's like their lips move, and sound comes out of their mouths, but there is no meaning whatsoever to those sounds. They say anything they want, whether or not it has anything to do with reality.
I wonder... do these people know that they are lying?
What does that do to one's psyche, knowing that everything out of one's mouth is total bullshit?
I can't imagine living like that.

(24,461 posts)No taxes have been raised, corporate or otherwise. We're not back to Clinton-level taxes, (mostly thanks to legislative blackmail with UI). No one involved in financial piracy has been arrested. No perks have been taken away. Universal health care will likely never be enacted in our lifetimes. Life for the extremely wealthy has not been made one atom-speck more miserable.
And the result of that stimulus?
The Dow is up nearly 5000 points since the Failure Fuhrer's last day in office.
We're gaining jobs . . . not many, but it's a damned sight better than either one of Bewsh's terms, believe me. Hiring is picking up again. More people are quitting jobs rather than getting fired from them.
We still got a long way to go, but I would hardly call this repair from the 2000-2008 debacle (an era that's mysteriously coming up blank in TeaHadist memories for two years now) a failure by any stretch.
