The Speaker of the House finds an acorn:
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said he believes the primary goal of President Obama’s second term is to “annihilate the Republican Party.”
“Given what we heard yesterday about the president’s vision for his second term, it’s pretty clear to me that he knows he can’t do any of that as long as the House is controlled by Republicans,” Boehner said in a speech Tuesday to The Ripon Society. “So we’re expecting over the next 22 months to be the focus of this administration as they attempt to annihilate the Republican Party.
“And let me just tell you, I do believe that is their goal — to just shove us into the dustbin of history.”
Of course, it doesn’t have to be this way. The Republicans could help us invest in clean energy and research. They could help us pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill. They could help us keep semiautomatic weapons out of the hands of criminals and the mentally insane. They could agree to a balanced deficit reduction plan.
But, since they don’t plan on doing any of those things, they must be put in the dustbin of history along with the commies.
