Bare with me while I try to figure out why the BBC code is ticking me off. Best I can do for now.
Ted Cruz defending Menendez, Nancy Pelosi defending Boehnor?
Is this the representation we DESERVE as Americans?
Has our system become so corrupted that the 2 wings of the same bird are finally showing us how much alike they actually are, and by there desperation are not only eating their own but now defending each other?
Cruz made the allegations to a throng of reporters jammed into the corner of a tent outside the Iowa Ag Summit in Des Moines without even having been asked about the Menendez criminal charges.
“The announcement this week by the Justice Department that they were bringing charges against Bob Menendez — I will point out that the timing seems awfully coincidental that … in the very week that Bob Menendez showed incredible courage to speak out and call out President Obama for the damage that his policy is doing to our national security … the Justice Department announces they’re moving forward with the criminal prosecution,” Cruz said.
Cruz: Menendez probe politically motivated
And without their support, there is no chance to topple Boehner in this Congress.
A number of right-wing Republicans, long wary of Boehner's commitment to GOP efforts attacking President Obama's policy priorities, have openly considered a coup in an attempt to transfer the gavel into more conservative hands.
But Democrats from across an ideological spectrum say they'd rather see Boehner remain atop the House than replace him with a more conservative Speaker who would almost certainly be less willing to reach across the aisle in search of compromise. Replacing him with a Tea Party Speaker, they say, would only bring the legislative process — already limping along — to a screeching halt.
Dems vow to protect Boehner from conservative coup
What more can I say, other than WE DESERVE BETTER!
Washington DC, has turned into the WWF of politics!
How can anyone believe in our government anymore, when they have become so childish and ridiculous to retain their power that does nothing to benefit the citizens they take an oath to defend and represent?
