Good Riddance to Johny the Hypocrite

The Pope has achieved the first of three miracles required for Sainthood. Pope Francis found himself speaking in front of a joint session of Congress, and less than twenty four hours later John Boehner decides to retire from Congress by October 2015. Hallelujah we have exercised the demons.

In all seriousness John Boehner decided to step down in the “best interests” of his party, but not before he took parting shots at his fellow Republicans. Boehner warned of “false prophets … spreading noise about how much can get done.” Good riddance to bad rubbish Johny The Hypocrite. You made a great number number of promises to the American people and your colleagues in Congress, and you have proven to be nothing but smoke and mirrors. Here are just a few of the many points of contention brought up by a fellow Congressman:

Fighting Obama’s executive amnesty orders tooth and nail, but allowing the CRomnibus bill to proceed with it still being funded.
Every debt ceiling increase would be paired with a spending cut, but that has not happened.
Members would have time to properly read bills, then allowing only a three day period (1,000 pages in three days…really).
A regular order of bills through committees, but bills keep coming to the floor without following that process.

Like a first rate coward you hid behind a defense that you did what you had to do to get things done. Johny The Hypocrite your job isn’t to go along to get along, your job is to represent the will of the People. It really doesn’t matter if the Usurper in Chief vetoes every piece of legislation that hits his desk, Mitch McConnell shields the Usurper in Chief just like Harry Reid did, or you have to fight with Congress to get legislation past. Our system of government was designed to be difficult 239 years ago by the founding fathers to protect the People from a burdensome bureaucratic leviathan, which it has become.

The Usurper in Chief has more than encroached on the line of separation of powers, he blatantly violates it and you do nothing. He repeatedly attempts to strong arm through unconstitutional legislation and you refuse to rock the boat. No Johny The Hypocrite your party members are not false prophets, you sir are a wolf in sheep’s clothing. You’re a K Street sellout who’s willing to stab the People in the back to maintain the status quo of corporate feudalism in exchange for a house in Florida. Let me ask you this Judas. Are you really retiring for the good of your party, or now that you have been confronted by God’s “highest” representative on earth has the weight of your 13 pieces of silver become a burden too great to bear?
