NO TEARS FOR BOEHNER

Conservatives are cheering the resignation of Speaker John Boehner from the leadership role in the House of Representatives and from the House seat he holds for Ohio voters. He announced his resignation to come at the end of October, 2015. I guess Halloween at the Capital will be missing one less corporate zombie, but one wonders if his ghost will haunt the House after he turns in his gavel.

Some are viewing his surrender as a win for the conservatives in the House that have been actively pushing for his ouster as speaker, while some more cynically believe that Boehner is resigning, to ensure that he can influence the House, to elect an establishment moderate to replace him.

The vision of John Boehner crying to House members to evoke sympathy and votes, for an equally sycophantic elitist, that cowers to Obama and the Democrat Party isn't an unimaginable speculation. Indeed, the GOP has shown the American people nothing but political cowardice by refusing to mount any opposition to Obama's reckless agenda, while the Democrats have been faithful cogs for the Marxist ideologue machine.

Over the next few weeks the people will be able to gauge whether this is another tactic by the GOP to continue its pretense of conservative values, or whether there has been a systemic changing of the guard in the GOP. There is no doubt that this resignation signals a growing strength of genuine conservatism within the GOP born from grassroots voters seeking to oust corruption, yet moderates still seem to be in the majority. 

The people will be watching closely to see who is elected as Speaker of the House before being able to claim a real victory. Moreover, if the House elects a strong conservative to replace Boehner, then the pressure will be squarely placed on the Senate's majority leader Mitch McConnell to also step aside.

Americans are in an anti-career politician, anti-establishment candidates, anti-Washington elitism and anti-lobbyists mood. They are frustrated and angry that their voice after elections goes dark and silent on the ears of those politicians that promised them change, then keep the status quo, or worse, continue to give away our jobs, freedoms and values.

The GOP needs to get the message (Trump is dispositive of that message) that conservatives want to be able to fight for American values, not politically strategizing each upcoming election to win it, and do nothing. What has it served conservatives to win a historic majority in the House and then have the GOP acquiesce to every Obama wish? What is the benefit of a majority that hides under the sheets and doesn't challenge the minority Party? What avenue is left for the American people when they vote for opposition to liberalism, win the election and then get stabbed in the back by their own so-called conservative leaders?

They vote for Trump, Carson and Fiorina while Scott Walker and Rick Perry drop out of the 2016 primary. They stop sending money to the GOP. They stop trying to grow the Party by no longer extolling GOP virtues telling friends to vote Republican. They start thinking that they might sit on their hands and not vote at all, next election.

 

The GOP has a unique opportunity to change the conservative dialog into positive approval and rally backing for the Party to grow. To stand up against unconstitutional laws and speak for the people. To regroup around staunch conservatism and finally be an opposition Party against social progressive policies ruining this country's hard fought freedoms. However, if they replace Boehner with the current GOP whip Kevin McCarthy of California then it will be " meet the new boss, same as the old boss".

  

Time for people to write their House members and ask for real conservative leadership, because it is well past time for the Republican Party to once again represent genuine conservative values. Most Americans will watch John Boehner leave the capital building without shedding a tear, because the future of America relies on steely verve not wimpy nerves.
