I would hope that our leaders would never believe that any American desires to make another American an enemy. Let's dial it back.


It’s been a good old-fashioned gun fight, sans guns, an almost no-holds barred MMA (mixed martial arts) battle with $4 billion in campaign funds to blast some outrageous images and rhetoric at voters. Now that the shouting is nearly over, voters will finally have their say. It’s likely the the GOP will have a sweeping victory in the House, according to most polls, and Ohio Rep. John Boehner is poised to become speaker of the House.

Boehner has been a point of the spear for the GOP’s fight to block the Democratic agenda, take back the House and Senate, and take on President Obama. Tonight, he is expected to deliver a speech in which he paints Mr. Obama as bitterly partisan, viewing the GOP as “enemies” based on a remark he made to Univision radio.

“If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re gonna punish our enemies, and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us’ — if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election — then I think it’s going to be harder. And that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2nd.”

Following are Boehner’s prepared remarks for a rally in Cincinnati on the eve of the election:

Our media friends are not interested in what we think. They do not respect voters who voted for Trump. They are clouded with resentment and anger, which is now hate.

2010 - Aren’t there enough annoying stories and people today without dredging up stories from 7 years ago? Can’t we try to cut down on some of the frustrating stuff or at least stuff that frustrates us. As a FReeper said earlier last week - enough is enough - don’t need any more, can’t take much more.

Boehner's spear never had a point and the shaft was used to keep Republicans in line for Obama. He always wanted more nominal Republicans in the Congress but he wanted them to vote for the ever bigger State.

“”You mean like, “Can’t we all just get along”?
“”Fantasy.””

No - Not at all - there just comes a point when it’s time to stop bashing our heads against the brick walls. I think 8 years of that is enough....we don’t need to go back in time to dredge up more irritating/aggravating/frustrating events.. I’m sure there will be more than enough in front of us and we need to be on alert!!
