Replace Boehner at All Costs

The case for replacing Boehner...
At All Costs

John Gaver
April 28, 2011

John Gaver After the TEA Party handed control of the House back to Republicans, in November, the "Triad of Surrender", John Boehner, Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan, have once again, turned their backs on those who put them back in power. They were RINOs prior to the 2010 elections and it's now clear that they never had any intention of keeping the promises that they made to the GOP electorate, in return for their votes.

Republicans promised to cut $100 BILLION from the budget in 2011, alone. But that was before it was discovered that $105 BILLION had already been appropriated for Obamacare. So to be truthful, the Republicans should have cut $100 BILLION from the budget, for this year, plus repealed the $105 BILLION for Obamacare, for a total of $205 BILLION in total cuts for this year. So what did the "Triad of Surrender" give us?

Well they began by proposing only $60 BILLION in cuts - far less than the promised $100 BILLION. But B. Hussein Obama told Boehner that the cuts were too deep for him and that he wanted more money to ~~spend~~ waste or he would shut down the government and blame the Republicans, so Boehner instructed Ryan to do some more cutting - but not cuts to the budget - cuts to the cuts. After all was said and done, Boehner "claimed" that he and his RINO buddies had cut $38.5 BILLION from the budget. But that was only his "claim" and far from "fact".

But that's putting it far too mildly. When Boehner, Cantor, Ryan and the RINO elite, told us that they had cut $38.5 BILLION from the budget, they LIED. I seldom use that word about anyone. But in this case, there is no other word that accurately conveys what they did. Boehner and the GOP leadership elite, told us a bald-faced LIE!

And here's the proof. The non-partisan CBO analyzed the budget and reported that the actual amount of cuts was far less than even Boehner's false claim of $38.5 BILLION in cuts. The "Triad of Surrender" had gone from a promised $100 BILLION in cuts, to a stated $60 BILLION to a stated $38.5 BILLION, but even that wasn't enough. So how bad was the betrayal of Boehner and his "Triad of Surrender"?

ONLY $352 MILLION! (not BILLION)

That's just thirty-five hundredths of one percent (0.35%) of the promised $100 BILLION in promised cuts and less than seventeen-hundredths of one percent (0.17%) of the $205 BILLION in cuts that should have included the extra $105 BILLION that was illegally appropriated for Obamacare. Not even close to one percent of what they promised.

Having Boehner, Cantor and Ryan in the leadership of the GOP, undermines everything that the TEA Party achieved last November. These aren't just any representatives. They're the leadership. Imagine how World War II would have turned out, if Gen. Eisenhower, Gen. Patton and Gen. Montgomery had been German fifth columnists. These are the most important positions in the party. We can't afford to have RINO, fifth columnists in the leadership.

This betrayal of the voters, who gave the GOP back the majority and gave the "Triad of Surrender" their power, is so blatant that it must not be allowed to stand. Boehner, Cantor and Ryan must be ousted in 2012 - AT ALL COSTS!

AT ALL COSTS!

What does that mean - "AT ALL COSTS"? By that, I mean that if we can't defeat those three RINOs in the primaries, then we must be willing to sacrifice those seats - particularly Boehner's - to the Democrats, for two years.

At first thought, that sounds abhorrent to conservatives. But it really isn't as bad as it sounds, if you stop and think about it. In November of 2010, the TEA Party handed the GOP a solid House majority and in 2012, the size of that majority will increase - very likely, by a substantial margin. The GOP can therefore easily afford the loss of those three seats, without risk of losing their majority.

Furthermore, there is virtually no chance that we will get a TEA Party congressman in the Speaker's seat, in 2012. It's just not going to happen. But if we give those three the boot, in 2012, whichever congressmen do assume those positions (establishment RINOs or TEA Party conservatives), will know that if they don't drastically cut spending and taxes, they will be serving their last term in office.

Also, all three of the "Triad of Surrender" are in what are considered "GOP-Safe" districts. That means that if it should come down to having to elect a Democrat, to get rid of the RINOs in the House leadership, then that Democrat would be easily replaced in two years.

Finally and most importantly, consider the analogy that I made earlier. How World War II have turned out if Eisenhower, Patton or Montgomery had been a Nazi. Your country is in a battle for it's life. You don't keep a traitor at the helm, where he can do the most damage, just because he wears the same uniform as you. We have three RINO traitors in the House leadership, undermining conservatives at every step. So ask yourself, which is better, having a powerful RINO that we can't trust in that seat for years to come or having a weak Democrat in that seat for only two years. Think about it...

Actually, in some ways, losing those seats to Democrats would have an even stronger effect on the remaining RINOs, since it would demonstrate that Republicans will even go to such a length as voting Democrat, to oust traitors in the GOP leadership.

Granted, we should do our level best to defeat the "Triad of Surrender" in the primaries. That would certainly be the best of all worlds. But the plain fact is that all three of them are "entrenched" and the GOP will throw their full weight into insuring them their respective nominations. That means that they will be extremely difficult to defeat, in the primaries.

We need to do our best to defeat them in the primaries. That's a given. But the reason that I'm writing this article is to get people to thinking about the more likely scenario. What do we do if they all three win their respective primaries. Do we allow them to stay in their positions of power or replace them with a weak, first-term Democrat, who can be easily replaced in two years?

Remember that having a RINO in the House leadership, would be the political equivalent of having a Nazi in the Allies leadership, during WWII. If any of the "Triad of Surrender" survive the primaries, then we need to hold our noses and support their Democrat opponent.

Better a weak enemy in a position that cannot subvert our troops, than a powerful enemy in our midst, who is doing exactly that.
