Where was John Boehner?

Why did John Boehner refuse to fly to Tucson on Air Force One?
   
Surely he understood the importance of coming together after this terrible tragedy, when a member of his own House was gunned down?

Was he really so fearful of Limbaugh and the Tea Baggers that he was willing to sacrifice doing the right thing rather than have them criticize him for flying on the same plane as the President?

Have they so lost touch with reality?

Just days after a couple of Republicans chose to attend a fundraiser rather than to be sworn into office as the next Congressmen from their districts?

What was more important than the people in Tucson and the need of the American people to come together?

A political get together in Washington?

And this guy is a leader?

2. Your second paragraph nails it
   
The fundraiser was a diversion. It could have easily been rescheduled under the circumstances.

But the ration of shit he would have caught from the lunatic fringe of his party would never go away.

Boner is sort of skating on awful thin ice with the wackos as it is, what with his comments about raising the debt limits and a few other feeble attempts to inject reality into the equation. He can't afford to piss the kooks off anymore. He's probably gotten death threats already.

Yeah, we have seen "the love" from DU for the new Speaker of the  House.

and that kept him away.

More trashing of Boehner follows over there. The DUmmies fail to or don't want to realize the line of succession puts John Boehner right near the top.  Rarely do the top people appear together at open events. BTW, Uncle Joe isn't mentioned, but he's not exactly in a safe place right now. He's in Iraq.

If Mother Teresa were the Republican Speaker of the House, DUmmies would find a way to bash her relentlessly too.  :whatever:

Another lose lose setup by the DUmmies.

Where they can bash him as uncaring and insensitive if he doesn't go.

Or trash him as a media hogging tear stained attention whore if he does go.

Exactly my thought too and if he showed any emotion they would ridicule him for that.

Leave it to the DUmmies to yet again not even have an original thought between the 100K of them over there.

This crap is just regurgitated DNC talking points they saw in Politico.  The original snide comments about the Speaker not being there were made in that rag.

And never mind the fact that it's been known for almost a week he wouldn't be attending.

I don't really care if he attended the pep rally or not.  What happened last night in Tucson was NOT a memorial.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Even as it began, some conservative commentators were posting comments criticizing the memorial service for being overly partisan and more like a pep rally, and there were some boos in the hall when Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican, spoke. Those reactions would have been hard to imagine, say, in the days after the Oklahoma City bombing.

The DUmmies are insisting that all the whooping and hollering of the students was "their way of mourning".

They should've had a Van Halen cover band there, so they could really get their grief on.

With Obama in AZ, and Biden in Iraq...there is no way that Boehner would be allowed to go anywhere that involved travel, being as he's 3rd in line to the presidency.

Pelosi is no longer important and Reid isn't in succession.

Gosh...aren't the Dummies supposed to know this...being as they know everything about US Government?

Aren't those the shirts they were given out last night at the "memorial"? Glenn Beck had a shot of the shirts that were on every single chair in that auditorium. That slogan looks very familiar.
Anyone see Beck's show today?
