Tea Partier primaries Boehner, calls him a "socialist"
Dayton Daily News:

WEST CHESTER TWP. — A Batavia resident announced Monday his intent to run against U.S. House Speaker John Boehner in the primary election for 8th Congressional District.

Lewis said if he wins the primary against Boehner, R-West Chester Twp., he will run as the Republican candidate in the general election.
***
Lewis said he’s running on a Tea Party platform. He wants “life for unborn babies who are being massacred by abortion, liberty against enslavement by socialism and justice for those wronged, especially babies,” he said.
***
If elected, Lewis said he will work to phase out Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Lewis called Social Security, “a government Ponzi scheme.”

Crooks & Liars:
David Lewis told Fox News' Neil Cavuto that he hopes to defeat Boehner in the Republican primary by running on the tea party platform.

"John Boehner is a socialist," Lewis explained. "I'm not calling him names."
***
"It's an economic policy. I'm not calling names," Lewis insisted. "Here is someone that refuses to phase out Social Security. What I would do as a U.S. House member is work to phase out Social Security totally. 100 percent. That includes Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps. These are socialist policies."

9. I'd like to see him speaking to a Teabagger crowd...
...telling all the SS and Medicare recipients in the crowd that he plans to get rid of SS and Medicare.

Let's see how well that goes over.

16. It's the old story all over again.
Edited on Mon Sep-19-11 11:51 PM by MilesColtrane
Madman creates a monster from various pieces of dead meat, then animates it with thousands of volts of white hot rage.

Creator misestimates the monster's mental capacity and penchant for violence.

Monster turns on its creator and tries to kill him.

18. This is a death cult
It's fascinating that these freaks don't realize how much of a parody they appear to make of themselves. Or maybe they do and don't care, but I doubt it. If we didn't KNOW that they were indeed this crazy, I'd really find it hard to believe this wasn't satire.

Among the many examples....pro-lifers. They will champion their zygotes and ectopic pregnancies against the socialist abortionists.

And of course the pro-lifers will dismantle social programs for the vulnerable, mock the poor and downtrodden, and glorify state power in the onslaught of destruction and murder against foreigners.

The people who really, honestly describe themselves as ardently pro-life actually lay the greatest claim of anyone to being Pro-Death. Cackling spectral incarnations of Death itself in our society. It's quite Orwellian.

20. So now "socialist"
Edited on Mon Sep-19-11 11:53 PM by Turbineguy
stands for "not crazy enough". I think Roger Ailes may soon realize that he's created a monster he cannot control.

22. This is when the German word 'schadenfreude' pops into my head.

Boner enabled and coddled those wackjobs and now they're coming for him. Can't think of a more fitting Repiglican to get primaried by a wackjob. I'm tempted to donate to Lewis' primary campaign just to help stir up some shit. (Maybe I'm channeling my inner Karl Rove or Donald Segretti :)

23. Statement from Mr. Lewis:
"I used to believe in John Boehner until I found that his words were empty promises. In June 2010 Boehner stated, 'When human life takes a back seat to other priorities -- personal comforts, economics -- freedom is diminished...we have a moral obligation to defend the defenseless. And nothing is more defenseless, or more innocent, or more pure, than an unborn baby.' But this was not enough for Boehner; he solemnly declared, 'There is no cause more noble than the defense of human life. There is no mission more critical. No debate more urgent.'

"In his first nine months as House Speaker, John Boehner has had several opportunities to defund the largest baby killers in America -- Planned Parenthood. But Boehner caved in to Obama, and gave Planned Parenthood taxpayer's hard earned dollars. Neither pro-lifers nor Tea Party activists should ever forgive John Boehner for lavishing our money on Planned Parenthood.

"It is clear from the facts that Planned Parenthood is not only the largest killer of unborn babies in America, but also that they have become a criminal syndicate covering up the crimes of rapists, sex traffickers, and pedophiles.

"Concerning Obamacare, John Boehner could have stopped it dead in its tracks by refusing to fund it; instead, he passed a meaningless piece of legislation to overturn Obamacare, knowing that it would be dead on arrival. Ohio voters are not stupid; time and again we see clever campaigning made of empty words and broken promises. John Boehner is the quintessential establishment insider; John Boehner is no friend of the Tea Party, and no friend of the pro-life movement, and it's time for him to enjoy the retirement that he so richly deserves."
