Weeper Boehner Gambles His Political Future!

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) can't keep his party together.

Once this guy represented my neighborhood. A man who has dedicated his life to being an elite. John Boehner is the current Speaker of the House. He is the main Republican leader. He is at odds with the extremist wing of the Republican Party over his handling over issues.

So in order to win their support, he'll go forward into the political suicide mission of his speakership.

The Republican House members voted in support of cutting the SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) of $39 billion in an attempt to punish the middle class in the poor struggling in the sluggish economy. Food stamps are a part of the safety net and racist right are celebrating a victory.

Clearly it's not going to pass the U.S. Senate and it faced the veto of President Barack Obama.

Instead of passing serious laws like gun control and immigration reform, the Republicans are back at the bottom of the barrel looking for that pickle in the brim. This latest attempt of trying to cut spending isn't a smart idea.

The Republicans seriously believe the poor are the reasons for the economic turmoils.

Unapologetic as they are, they vow to defund Obamacare. They clearly have no chance in hell to repeal or defund the healthcare law. The Republicans are in a civil war with one another. The Republicans are fearing a public backlash to the possibility of losing the House in the Midterm elections.

These political suicide moves doesn't stop the cameras from rolling on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky), Senator Lindsay Graham (R-South Carolina), Senator John McCain (R-Arizona), Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah), Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and the remaining members of the Republican Party. These Republicans are part of the Tea Party movement.

The Tea Party Movement is struggling for survival. If they can't get Obamacare defund or repealed, then its conservative outreach will sit out the Midterms.

When you look at the situation, I figure that Republicans are seriously concerned about food stamp fraud and the misuse of them. That's fine. I mean there are some who sell food stamps for drugs. But for the millions of Americans who depend on food stamps when the food prices are high, the fuel prices are high and the cost of living going up, those few who take advantage of the system is just 8%.

A measly 8% of the food stamp users are exploiting for fraud.

This gridlock will be the death of Congress. They're polling very unfavorably. I am guessing Congress job approval is at 14%.

The Republicans already lost an election this year. Why are they continuing the same path to failure?

Speaker John Boehner represents parts of Southwestern Ohio. His district is heavily favored for Republicans. The speaker's district includes Troy, Springfield, New Carlisle, Eaton, Greenville, Oxford, Hamilton, Middletown, Tipp City, and his hometown of West Chester.

His leadership is ranked unfavorable. Nancy Pelosi, the California Democrat who was a Speaker herself did more as a leader than this guy.

It's an embarrassment for Ohio to have a lawmaker who cries in public events. It's an embarrassment for Ohio to have a lawmaker in high power fold to the extremists.

It's reasons to why it's important to send the racist right Tea Party back into the dustbin of history.
