"A wise and frugal government which shall restrain men
from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government."

Boehner: Jobs are Top Issue

We can guarantee one thing -- John Boehner, the current Republican Leader, will be reelected to Congress in huge numbers from the Congressional District we once called home. This area of Ohio like many others have been hard hit with loss of jobs. Some of those jobs went away because of the unions and their neverending demands that helped kill the Ohio economy. Manufacturing has been moving to states with Right to Work and a better tax advantage for a long time.

Ohioians have an opportunity to get the State back on the right track with sending Obama buddy Gov Strickland to the unemployment line and electing former Rep John Kasich to be Governor. We predict they will also be sending Rob Portman to the Senate and more Republicans as part of their House delegation like Steve Chabot to help Republican Leader John Boehner become Speaker of the House John Boehner.

When Boehner took over from Denny Hastert who left early, he was left with Hastert's governing team for the 2008 election who believed in incumbent protection. Now with Boehner's own team in place, we have seen a huge difference with the number of seats the House has targeted plus the quality of candidates they have been able to recruit. The NRCC led by Pete Sessions is on the offense -- incumbents are for the most part on their own as they target seats with Democrats.

Boehner's leadership team is second to none with Mike Pence who is the best spokesman for the House Republican Conference we have seen and with Eric Cantor as Whip. With Pete Sessions heading NRCC with Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan, and Kevin McCarthy who put together Young Guns for this election along with help from other members of the House they have built the foundation for victory in November.

Against all odds and being completely out numbered, the Republicans members of the House have continued to fight -- Steve King gives some of the best one minute speeches we have seen in the House. Team him and Pence up and you have no better team that can say more in a short period of time then Democrats can say in an hour. The hard work of House Republicans will pay off on November 2nd.

Boehner: Jobs are top issue
BY DAN SEWELL • Associated Press • October 9, 2010

The November election will be all about jobs, House Republican leader John Boehner said Friday.

Speaking in his southwest Ohio home district hours after a bleak federal report on employment was released, Boehner said that it looked a lot like the reports every month under President Barack Obama's economic stimulus plan.

He said Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi should call the House back into session for a vote on Republican economic plans touted as "a pledge to America." Regardless, he said, voters get their chance Nov. 2 to cast ballots in what he called a referendum on high unemployment and "job-killing policies."

"This coming election is about one issue: jobs," he said. "It's about jobs that were promised to the American people by the current administration, and were never delivered."

Boehner fired up a rally at a West Chester family-owned manufacturing company, telling his audience an "out-of-control" government is disrespecting them. He asked rhetorically if they had to accept it, then shouted: "Hell no, you don't!"

A Democratic National Committee spokesman said Boehner wants a return to Bush administration policies that benefit the rich and special interests.

"John Boehner claims a different direction, but does he mean it?" asked Alec Gerlach. "Hell no, he doesn't."

Boehner, in line to become the next speaker if Republicans gain 40 seats in the House, said the Republicans' "pledge" represents a new direction for Congress and for the GOP as well.

"And I can promise you, if we are entrusted with the opportunity to govern, we are going to do things differently," Boehner said.

The Republican plans include extending tax cuts and reducing spending. Critics have called them vague, likely to worsen deficits and not new.

Boehner said Friday "there's nothing new" about the Obama administration's approach.

"Over the past two years, the governing party in Washington has been deeply committed to the tired old notion that our nation can spend and borrow its way back to prosperity," he said.

He said among congressional changes planned by Republicans are ones in legislative rules to make spending cuts easier.
