GOP Leader John Boehner's 'Speaking Out' on the Economy

Have Republicans learned their lesson after 2006 and 2008? We believe they have. One reason is a lot of the big spenders and go along to get along Republicans were ousted or retired. Most were not fiscal conservatives and were willing to spend our tax dollars like they grew on trees. At times under Speaker Hastert the bending over backwards to accommodate the Democrats made you ill. You won't get that with John Boehner who can be tough as nails but fair.

The Republican leadership of John Boehner (R-OH), Eric Cantor (R-VA), and Mike Pence (R-IN) have not quit fighting against all odds as they are out there every day taking on Pelosi and the progressive liberal democrats including Obama. Republicans have the best one-minute soundbites on the floor of the House every morning especially Mike Pence and Steve King who are masters of the one-minute speeches.

In January 2009 with the complete takeover of the House in large numbers by the Progressive Democrats after the disastrous 2008 elections fraught with voter fraud, accusations of racism, and intimidation, a new day dawned with storm clouds. Every last Democrat cast their vote for the Progressive Democrat Nancy Pelosi for Speaker after the 2008 election. Not one Democrat had the nerve to vote against her which should never be forgotten. After Pelosi retained the Speaker's Chair with even greater numbers, Republicans found a loud voice in the House and with the voice came ideas. John Boehner had 'his' team not what he inherited from Speaker Hastert when he retired. 

Republican ideas and voices were heard at the Obama Healthcare Summit where Democrats were left with not knowing what was in their own bill including Obama as Republicans time and time again had the facts that were broadcast on CSPAN. Then Pelosi came out with her famous quote:

We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it

The Republican answer to Obamacare and Pelosi -- Repeal and Replace:





This spring House Republicans launched a new site America Speaking Out giving Americans a chance to voice our own opinions how Government can do a better job with less tax dollars in order to shrink the government and cut the deficit.

As a side note, one agency I would love to see shrunk is the EPA -- trying to kill poison ivy along an overflow creek and every time I use the 'approved' poison ivy killer, it seems to come back stronger. Long for the days when you used a weed killer, it actually worked instead of wasting your money. EPA is an agency run amok. Just think how much could be saved by shrinking that agency along with the aggravation they cause.

Now we are learning that the House Republicans are going to release a Governing Agenda in September. We remember the Contract with America in 1994 and how well it worked as the Congress systematically passed each of the items. We would like to note that the Contract with America contained NO social issues. Those issues for the most part belong back in the states, our homes, our churches, and our communities not at the federal level.

Republican leaders are expected to publish a governing agenda next month, probably an updated version of the bold and successful Newt Gingrich/Dick Armey “Contract with America” of 1994. John Boehner is a key alumnus of that effort.

Time for Americans with 'Common Sense' to Take America Back from the far left march of the progressive democrats on November 2nd. This country is made up of mostly center right Americans not the extremes of either side. We believe in "We The People" as individuals who can make a difference. Republicans have listened with giving us a website America Speaking Out where our voices can be heard. If you have any ideas that you think will help, please click on the link and express them. Republicans are listening to "We The People" no matter what some of the media or some of the groups are saying.




Republicans are the Party of Ideas that will grow our economy, cut our deficits, and shrink our Government. Democrats led by Obama, Pelosi, and Reid are the Party of the Progressive March toward socialism where the Government decides what is best for all. There is a huge difference in the parties -- don't let anyone tell your otherwise.

John Boehner’s Pro-Growth Message
by Larry Kudlow
August 30, 2010

It’s a bit too early for House Republican leader John Boehner to measure the drapes and pick out new wallpaper. But the Intrade pay-to-play prediction markets are now showing a 76 percent chance of a GOP House takeover in November, along with a 60 percent probability that Republicans will capture at least seven new Senate seats.

So Boehner’s lengthy broadside attack on Obamanomics at the City Club of Cleveland last week takes on special meaning. Headlines following the speech were all about Boehner’s call for the resignation of Obama policy generals Larry Summers and Timothy Geithner. But the more substantive question is this: What might a newly ascendant congressional Republican majority actually stand for?

Republican leaders are expected to publish a governing agenda next month, probably an updated version of the bold and successful Newt Gingrich/Dick Armey “Contract with America” of 1994. John Boehner is a key alumnus of that effort. But folks around the country are waiting to see if congressional Republicans will make a strong and aggressive case for a true economic-growth and jobs agenda now, in 2010.

The stock market, for example, has known for months that the GOP will capture the House. But investors are not yet confident that the GOP will focus on GDP, instead of mere ambiguous generalities, trying to be all things to all people. Indeed, if the Republicans borrow heavily from the tea-party “Contract from America” — and its call for constitutional limits to government, tough spending restraint, free-market reforms, and supply-side tax policies — stocks could mount a mighty rally in the weeks ahead.

Well, Mr. Boehner’s speech was a very promising beginning to all this.
