I received an email today from OFA, asking me to write a letter to John Boehner about his wanting to sue the President. After I wrote it I decided I wanted to share it here, since after all, it is probably many of you who would actually enjoy reading it much more than his office will. You'll find it below the glowing orange Boehner turd in the punch bowl....
Hey John,
You make comments saying you're so busy all the time, and I can't figure out what it might be that you're actually doing that would take up so much of your time. At this point. "nothing but trying to cause trouble", would seem to be the answer. Well, John, you've spent so much time 'trying' to cause trouble you can't seem to see it when it's come home to roost right in front of you.
You talk about all those supposed jobs bills you can't get passed through the Senate, but let's be honest here, John. None of them was a true jobs bill, they were manufactured pieces of fluff to give big business more and the middle class and poor less.
You want to appeal the PPACA and have tried more than 40 times to, but again, you can't honestly say you've got a better plan to replace it, just more of the same as we've had before the implementation of the law.
And lately, you've been very quiet about your repeal and replace rhetoric, John. Is it because you're starting to see that you'll lose your cushy job up there on the hill very quickly if you succeed in passing that type of legislation? You must know the ACA is working and yanking it away from so many in the country who need it will make your party look horrendously evil. Can you hear the talk John? The people saying how the Republican Party just wants the poor to die? How their legislation proves they care nothing for the people of this country, only for big business and the rich?
Let's see, what else is it keeping so busy up there that you don't have any time to do your job. Is it all the fake scandals you've helped to create taking up your oh-so-precious time, John? I thought you'd hand those off to those party flunkies known for their drama and muck raking skills. Why else would you have Issa and Gowdy in charge of that? They both know the law, albeit from either side. Gowdy , the top notch attorney known for his dramatic flair and low legal blows; and Issa, the car thief arsonist, who's main occupation in his early life was a string of illegal activity.
It looks more and more like Issa's job these days is to bring about a new inception of McCarthyism with your approval, John. But, the American public is starting to notice how relentless, underhanded, and cruel your party line has become lately. They see how disrespectful and cheap an opinion you hold, not only for the Presidency, but for all the branches of government. That mask you wear is getting a bit threadbare, John, and people are beginning to see what's truly behind it.
It can't be the day to day running of the country, John, that keeps you so busy up there an the hill, since you haven't passed any meaningful legislation to keep things going smoothly. You've been repeatedly asked recently about a highway maintenance bill the last few weeks. That's a bill needed by the end of the month, John, and you guys are wanting to use a band aid to cover a gaping wound in need of some serious surgical stitching.
John, we all know you made a promise, along with all the other Republicans on the hill, in 2010 after the mid terms, to do nothing to help Obama, hoping to make him a one term president. Well, that failed, and it's once again the mid terms, only it's four years later and Obama is still President. And you all continue to act like it's the 2010 mid terms and you're still trying to make him a one term president. When it didn't work the last time, why are you still trying, John?
And now you want to sue the President. We all know it's a sham idea, created to rile up your base, and will probably never see the florescent light of a courtroom, John. We all know it will take several months, if not years, to drive something like this through the courts, all the time knowing the case will have no standing once it arrives there. We all know it's for show. We all know it's all you have to seriously run on this election cycle, even though we all know it's not serious.
Could you not have picked something better than Obama enacting a postponement to a law you wanted repealed? It makes you and your party look pretty pea brained, John. You want to sue him for doing something you wanted him to do? Let me know when the laugh track starts getting on your nerves, John.
In a room full of lawyers you ended up with that? No Benghazi, no IRS, no Fast and Furious? All that "supposed" talent up there and you couldn't even find one thing that might not get you laughed at throughout history? How pathetic, John, and how lacking in imagination. Or maybe I should say how much imagination you had if you thought this would be successful.
We've got a little more than one hundred days until the mid terms, John, so you better start thinking about getting busier. With nothing to run on this cycle but a fake lawsuit based on "we don't like Obama"; no new jobs; no help with our recovery from a recession to rival, if not trump, the Great Depression; the rolling back of voter rights for anyone different from your caucus of old white men; the sneaky stealing the blankets legislature to take away women's reproductive rights and right to choice rampant in Republican held states; your union busting lawsuits before the Supreme Court; the constant threats to Medicaid, Medicare, Social Programs, and Social Security; the "do nothing on immigration until it's too late" position
the Republican Party is espousing these days; you have less than a pair of empty hands filled with empty promises on election day. You're standing around in a shabby suit, empty hands held out as though begging for alms, hoping your base will carry you through for another two years, John.
I know you're hoping your base doesn't notice that about you, John, since we all know what the hard right thinks of beggars. You'll be left standing there, hands out in front of you, tears rolling down your cheeks, naked and battered, with your stolen suit being waved as a flag for the newest, crazy, far right wingnut who promises to do his part to take our country apart brick by shattered brick.
Ever your political opposite,
Mahytabel
