Boehner endorses Cruz

Well, not really.   Oftentimes, what your opponents say about you is very telling.

If "Go-Along, Get-Along" John Boehner hates you, you must be doing it rightl

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I'm reminded of the time Vladimir Posner - the voice of the USSR's English-language propaganda broadcasts on shortwave - criticized Rush Limbaugh.

When questioned about it, Rush said words to the effect of "Posner is a communist - I'm GLAD he doesn't like me, it means I must be doing something right!!!"

If asked about Boehner's comments, perhaps Cruz can formulate a similar response . . . or just say he doesn't want to respond at all, since it's embarrassing to see a grown man cry.

Read that headline a bit ago,  had the exact same thought.  If Boehner can work up the spine to have an opinion,  Cruz can't be all bad.

ironically for a short period of time Cruz  was Boehner's lawyer

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

This is just more blatant stupid party. Whether you like Cruz or not, whether you like Trump or not, when GOPe shills come out in attack mode, whether Boehner or Romney, it has the opposite effect of their intent. That they can't figure this out just solidifies the "stupid" in party.

For guys like Boehner, the only party they belong to is whoever is giving them money.  Voters don't matter.  There are too many of them in D.C. on both side.

Every endorsement in politics has strings attached, that is the nature of politics.

The fewer the GOPe endorsements the better I view a candidate.

For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Former House Speaker John Boehner offered a rather blunt assessment of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on Wednesday night.

“Lucifer in the flesh,” Boehner said during a talk hosted by Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif., according to the Stanford Daily. “I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life.”

The Ohio Republican, who retired from Congress last fall, said he would vote for whomever the party nominates for president — unless it’s Cruz.
I figured I should put this quote up in case some don't want to click the link.

Satanists Snub Comparison of Cruz to Lucifer
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/satanists-snub-comparison-cruz-lucifer/story?id=38785064

Quote
"Having a conservative Christian likened to Lucifer -- one who opposes equal rights for same sex couples and promotes the ability to deny services to any with different values -- we Satanists see as besmirching the positive, heroic aspects of that character as portrayed by Milton in his epic 'Paradise Lost,'" Magus Peter Howard Gilmore, the high priest of The Church of Satan, said in a statement.
