15. Inelegant, but effective. The DNC is targeting his seat, plus 5 other elephants of the apocalypse:
Wed Oct 9, 2013, 01:59 PM
Oct 2013
UPDATED: DNC targets Cantor’s district over shutdown

...The campaign, launching today, includes robocalls in his district and an online campaign using Twitter and Google ads to target voters in Virginia...

The call in Virginia starts: “I’m calling from the DNC with a GOP shutdown alert.... Congressman Eric Cantor was an architect of the GOP’s government shutdown and it hurts folks in the Richmond area.”

The call says “Tens of thousands of Virginians working for the federal government have been furloughed — and they won’t get paid until after Cantor reopens the government.”

The call talks about the impact of the shutdown on Virginia and offers an option to connect the voter with Cantor’s office and “demand that he stop holding the economy hostage...”


http://politics.blogs.timesdispatch.com/2013/10/08/dnc-targets-cantors-district-over-shutdown/

In addition to Cantor, the DNC is also targeting Speaker of the House John Boehner, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and U.S. Sens. Rand Paul, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251329390#post4

From the OP by The Blue Flower:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251329390#op

It explains why Boehner has said, as quoted in brooklynite's OP:

Boehner: Democrats Want to ‘Annihilate Us’

http://sync.democraticunderground.com/1014614735

Since they have done so much harm, they need to be removed from office in 2014.

It's why Boehner has called this an 'Epic Battle.' It is, but they brought this on themselves. We have tried to work with them in a Constitutional and fair manner.

I'm looking forward to seeing Madame Speaker, Nancy Pelosi sworn in.

Wed Oct 9, 2013, 02:04 PM
Oct 2013

Why are they only starting NOW?????? Where the fuck have they been for the past (at least) five years?

And regarding that photo of Nancy Pelosi and the sobbing boner - notice one other thing, please.

When Pelosi's predecessor lost his speakership, what did he do? He bailed, ran offstage with his tail between his legs. Not man enough to stick around when Pelosi took over, to keep fighting - or whatever it is he might have called his efforts. And when talk starts about boner maybe risking his speakership - and would then be expected to leave, well, the expectation is that he too will bail, running offstage with his tail between his legs, and not man enough to stick around (when Pelosi takes the speakership yet again). Anybody remember what SHE did when she lost the speakership? Did SHE bail and run offstage with her tail between her legs? NOPE! She stayed. And kept up the fight. SHE was certainly, pardon the expression, man enough.

Just another in a continuing series of illustrations and proofs of why our side is better than theirs. FAR better. When one says "the adults are back in charge," what they mean is - DEMOCRATS are back in charge. When the other guys are back in charge, they're nothing but a bunch of unruly undisciplined pre-schoolers and their taller friends in the demolition derby.

Thu Oct 10, 2013, 07:35 AM
Oct 2013

How do I know? I live in his district. He's my representative. He ran in the last election WITH NO DEMOCRATIC OPPOSITION!!! That's right, he basically ran unopposed in the last election. His district (8th Ohio) is not only heavily gerrymandered, it's heavily Republican. Do some research and look up who was this area's representative before Boehner and you'll understand why it's impossible to get him out. The only way he loses his seat is to lose a GOP primary and the only way that happens is to get an even more Tea Party representative. You might get rid of him as Speaker of the House, but he'll have his congressional seat for as long as the GOP party bosses in Ohio want him to have it.

Boehner opened by saying that he got off the phone with Obama a couple of hours earlier and seconds before making his charge that Obama refused to have a conversation. What the fuck does he think that phone call was? Besides, it is Boehner that has refused to have the conversation with the Senate over budget differences, even refusing 20 separate requests to join that conversation. If Boehner's lips are moving he is lying -- it is that simple.

That anyone takes him seriously is astounding. But I've been hearing CBS News carry the republican water on this for days now. Absolutely no challenge to the bullshit that he and other repugs have been spewing. Just a regurgitation of what each side is saying. No journalism credibility whatsoever from the news source that runs on Denver's progressive radio station. 'Sick of it' is only the beginning of how I feel about it.

Only Some House Republicans Get To Attend Meeting With Obama

President Barack Obama was planning to invite the entire House Republican Conference to the White House on Thursday, as part of an effort to find a way to end the government shutdown and avoid a debt default next week. But the office of House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) indicated Wednesday that only some Republicans would be attending the meeting, none of whom are members of the Tea Party flank.

According to an email Boehner's office sent to reporters, the White House meeting "is only worthwhile" if it remains focused on finding a solution, which means House Republicans "will instead be represented by a smaller group of negotiators, including the elected leadership and certain committee chairmen."

A total of 18 House Republicans will now be attending the meeting. All of the top leaders will go, including Boehner, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (Va.), House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (Calif.) and House Republican Conference Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (Wash.), along with Reps. Greg Walden (Ore.), Jim Lankford (Okla.), Lynn Jenkins (Kansas), Virginia Foxx (N.C.), Steve Southerland (Fla.), Ann Wagner (Mo.), Peter Roskam (Ill.) and Pete Sessions (Texas).

Republican committee chairmen planning to attend include Reps. Paul Ryan (Wis.), Dave Camp (Mich.), Fred Upton (Mich.), Hal Rogers (Ky.) and Buck McKeon (Calif.).

with Republicans. McConnell lied to Harry Reid about the filibuster and Boner lied to Reid about the CR. In July, Reid made a deal with Boner to accept Ryan's budget numbers without a fight if the Republicans would agree to a clean vote on the Continuing Resolution and to increase the debt limit.
The Kochs want a government failure to impose themselves as defacto rulers because they can buy the government in accordance with the flawed Mediocre Court's Citizens United decision. The Kochs are filling Boner's Cayman Islands account so as to keep him under their influence.
