This is a trailer for Accuracy in Media’s upcoming investigation called Religious Liberty and The Birth Control Mandate and it features Rep. Joe Walsh discussing the attack on religious liberty by ObamaCare. But out of all the good stuff he says in this clip, I love it when he says that if he were Speaker, that he’d bring ObamaCare up for repeal every month. And I completely agree.

This has been in part my problem with Boehner, that he sees no reason to continue to go after ObamaCare because he did it once, and it’s done. Tell me, how many people in the public arena will remember that they voted to repeal ObamaCare when they first came into office? Probably very few. I’ve always believed that we must constantly make the point of how radical and unconstitutional ObamaCare is, that we continue to bring it up and make it a point of discussion for repeal because it MUST be repealed and the public must know it. It’s a show of strength to do it and it communicates to the public that the Congress is firm in its goal to repeal this unconstitutional monstrosity. And it offers the public hope.

But Boehner is weak. He is all about compromise and good press. He was the wrong guy for the job during this difficult time of gridlock.

At any rate, this is a great clip and I can’t wait to see the whole investigation:

Keep up the great work Rep. Walsh you are one of the very few real leaders we have in Illinois. I wish you were Speaker of the house also - maybe soon.

"... formally call the administration to the carpet ..."

Another word for "call ... carpet" is IMPEACH.

The Presidential oath is to "... protect and defend the Constitution of the United States" and NOT to do an end-run around the Constitution by recess appointments while Congress is in session and NOT to mandate a contraception so-called "health care" on either the Catholic church or on the insurance providers.

The Executive branch does NOT have that authority... aka unconstitutional.

So...

... throw the kitchen sink at the regime

... throw the regime off it's game

... disrupt the regime by starting impeachment efforts in the House

And, since the House has such a weak Speaker... at least get the impeachment effort on the congressional official record for the last 9 months of the regime... for the history books, of course.

"But Boehner is weak. He is all about compromise and good press. He was the wrong guy for the job during this difficult time of gridlock."

Yup, he's weak and indecisive. He is the obstructionist in COngress.

There's talk that Boehner may be trying to broker a deal where Fast and Furious is concerned, muzzling Darrel Issa. Looks like HOlder and Obama got yet another pass.......

I'll trade you Michigan's (Deadbeats) John Conyers, Debbie Stabenow, Carl Levin, and John Dingell for just one Joe Walsh, Please? Pretty please with sugar on top? Democrats are the problem not the solution; Michigan should be a constant reminder to everyone of this fact.

Just got done tweeting Rep. Walsh, essentially begging him to run for the Speakership... would be awesome to have REAL leadership in the House!

We really need to get some of this Congress' Republican freshmen into leadership positions in the next Congress. They were not put there to be 1 of 100 votes in a committee. They were put there to right a listing ship.

I dunno Nuke. They've been keeping the whole Fast & Furious pretty hush hush. I don't see or hear about it anywhere except a few Conservative blogs. Most average Americans think Fast & Furious is a B movie about street racing. If it went away, those of us here on the Scoop & a few others would be the only ones with exploding heads.

"If I were Speaker..."

"... bring ObamaCare up for repeal every month."

It's true, House Speaker Boehner has "gotta go"... with Senator McConnell.

And, there is a much BIGGER problem for our Republic.

Now, what's the difference between Communist China and the Republic of America?

1st -

Communist China does NOT have a go-along-to-get-along Speaker of the House and a Senate that is barely breathing.

2nd -

Communist China does NOT have a "Dear Leader" who wants to cripple the communist state.

3rd -

Communist China does NOT have a "Dear Leader" who wants to "transform" China from a collectivist commune into an individualist republic.

4th -

America DOES have a "Dear Leader" who wants to "transform" our Republic from an "individualist" constitutional republic into a "collectivist" commune democracy.

And do they have the courage to even toot their own horn and REMIND US?!?! GOP needs to come out with ads daily about all the 2010 Congress has accomplished and contrast it with the Libs & RINO's in the Senate. Tell us who are the "do nothings..." They need to quit allowing everyone else to label them and claim the narrative.

He's blaming the dems, which isn't wrong, but he needs to call the RINO's out. Get Boehner the heck out of the Speaker of the House position! He's worthless and tone-deaf. Maybe he can't hear us screaming out here because he's too busy boo-hooing. I've had it!! And I know you have too. Ugh.

Bohner isn't the only problem. What does it say about the representatives who choose someone like that as their leader?
