John Boehner discussing ways to PREVENT Ron Paul from becoming Chairman [UPDATED]

[MRoCkEd]

From here (http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/10_50/b4207035613107.htm):

Five GOP leadership aides, speaking anonymously because a decision isn't final, say incoming House Speaker John Boehner has discussed ways to prevent Paul from becoming chairman or to keep him on a tight leash if he does.

UPDATE from Ron Paul's office:


They are likely to vote on the seat next week (wed/thurs) and Paul is the senior person in line to be appointed. He said there has been no indication that Paul will not be appointed. I told him about the news article and that WE we're pretty hacked out here about it. He said calling Cantor & Boehner could have a negative impact.

BUT - if they skip over Paul (which will be announced next week) the full House of Rep's (Republicans only) have to ratify all the appointments. So if they do skip him, the phone campaign should begin then.

But if you must call, be polite.

Remind them the Tea Party is watching, and will turn against Boehner and the GOP leadership if they try to block Ron Paul's appointment.

[Lucille]

There's a shocker.

Bastard.

[aravoth]

Get on phone and flood this fuckers office now

[Liberty_Mike]

Is this all because of that stupid earmark thing from earlier this year when Boehner said any Republican supporting earmarks would loose their committee spots?? Either way, Boehner is a tool!

"Five GOP leadership aides, speaking anonymously because a decision isn't final, say incoming House Speaker John Boehner has discussed ways to prevent Paul from becoming chairman or to keep him on a tight leash if he does."

The question is, what do we do when they pass him over?

[aravoth]

We should fax him a picture of Matt Collins butt-cheeks, thousands of times.

Matt, hook us up with a picture pls.

[sluggo]

Bailout Boehner and "Mr. Israel" Eric Cantor. Same old GOP shit that ran this country into the ground during Bush's reign are gonna do it again.

[Reason]

Boehner's office @ (202)225-4000

Said they had not received any calls about this and that to their knowledge nothing of the sort has been planned, they also called into question the credibility of the quote in that article.

[Liberty Rebellion]

Hey Boehner, FUCK YOU!

[Chester Copperpot]

left a msg on the dc answering machine..

"IM a republican, and I understand youre discussing ways to prevent ron paul from becoming chairman of the monetary committee.. Ron Paul deserves to be chairman and any republican that tries to prevent this needs to be voted out of office.

[sluggo]

In that case, Boehner should have no problem issuing a statement pledging that he fully supports Ron for Chairman.

exactly

[libertygrl]

Not surprised. Ron Paul has always been a threat to the establishment. Here's some background info on Boehner's top financial contributors:

http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/industries.php?cycle=2010&cid=N00003675&type=I

And this:

House Financial Services Committee
111th Congress (2010 cycle): Overview
Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass), Chair
Rep. Spencer Bachus (R-Ala), Ranking Member

This committee, formerly known as the Banking Committee, has long been considered a "big money" panel, with jurisdiction over commercial banks and savings and loans that traditionally have been very generous with their campaign contributions to committee members. That trend has continued with the addition of two cash-rich industries to the committee's portfolio: insurance and securities. Look for the giant financial sector, which includes banks, insurance companies, and securities firms, to continue its robust giving to committee members:

I didnt get a human to answer.. its possible they were talking to you while I was leaving a message.. either that.. or they took their cue from you that an onset flood was going to happen and turned the machine on right away

[Chester Copperpot]

Yeah either ron gets chair or boehner gets the boot

[Dissident]

Inexcusable.

This display of either sheer economic illiteracy or corruption is shameful.

Didn't they abolish the committee last time? Going from memory.

[Flash]

In a way this could be a good thing. If Ron Paul doesn't become Chairman he may seriously consider breaking off of the Republican Party and running on a third party ticket or independent for 2012. Then he could expose the Republican Party for what they are. Just a thought.

Oh and submitted to Drudge..

[StilesBC]

I'm not surprised by this one iota.

Could be a blessing in disguise if it brings about a shitstorm, though.

[RonPaulFanInGA]

Is this all because of that stupid earmark thing from earlier this year when Boehner said any Republican supporting earmarks would loose their committee spots?? Either way, Boehner is a tool!

This right here could very well be used as the 'just cause' in explaining why they did it. Ron Paul was one of the three House Republicans to defy the earmark ban.

Im ready to go make a ghost of Congressman Louis McFadden and start haunting assholes like Boehner and Bernanke

The only good thing that might come from this, is that Ron will be more fully committed to his run for POTUS.

I hope they deny him the chairmanship and he runs his campaign on it.

Ron Paul 2012: 'Cause the mainstream GOP just doesn't get it!

[Brian4Liberty]

Not surprised. Ron Paul has always been a threat to the establishment. Here's some background info on Boehner's top financial contributors:


According to Charlie Gasparino, after the Banksters fully supported the Democrats and Obama in 2008, they slimed their way back into Boehner's office in 2010 and asked if he'd be willing to forgive, forget and take some more money...the absurdity of this is that the GOP was going to win anyway, so support from the Banksters was completely unnecessary. Boehner and McConnell took the money.

Don't you think it is a little premature to roll out our secret weapon?

Aren't we saving this for 2012?

[ronpaulhawaii]

Boehner has just earned himself some political pain... OH 8th... Hmmmm....

http://intoxination.net/jamie/john-boehner-wins-his-primary


Last night John Boehner won his primary with 85% of the vote. A win for Boehner was all but guaranteed, but what makes it interesting is that the two challengers Boehner faced gained a cumulated total of 15% of the votes. These were two people who essentially did no campaigning at all and in a closed primary. So that means there are 15% of Republicans in OH-08 that wanted someone rather than Boehner.

http://publicpolicypolling.blogspot.com/2010/09/dissension-in-gop-ranks.html


When to comes to John Boehner and Mitch McConnell in particular the Republican base isn't too impressed either.

[Promontorium]

This shows us that those non-liberty loving Republicans, who are enjoying the success of the last election which was primarily fueled by those demanding a new level of fiscal responsibility, have no intention of changing, no intention of cooperating. There's nothing redeeming about this party.

I just got on the "Cam & Company" radio show on Sirius XM Patriot and brought up the article & issue, I read the quote

"Five GOP leadership aides, speaking anonymously because a decision isn't final, say incoming House Speaker John Boehner has discussed ways to prevent Paul from becoming chairman or to keep him on a tight leash if he does."

live on the air to however many hundreds of thousands of people were listening, the host said he hadn't seen that article or heard about it and that he would check it out but that based on what he has seen from Rep Paul, they would need a pretty darn tough leash to keep him under control. lol

[Imperial]

One part of me kind of hopes they deny him the chairmanship. If he doesn't get it, I bet you he will go whole-hearted into a presidential campaign. Can you picture this?

"Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, and lots of other candidates on stage like to talk about how they are not part of the establishment. Well that's nice, but I have been fighting the establishment for 40 years! Three times they have passed me over for the chairmanship of the domestic monetary policy committee, and why? They are afraid! They are afraid of we the people being able to take a look inside of our country's finances! It happened with Newt Gingrich, it happened with Tom Delay, and it happened with John Boehner. You want retake our country? Send me to White House and the place will never be the same."

[farrar]

What he is doing now is very good politics. They took the chair from him before.... But that was when he had no supporters.

It would be tough enough of a backlash if they took it from him with his support now.... But now that he has told us he is getting it.... Could you imagine what we would do now that he has told us he is getting it, and then he didn't... They practically have to give it to him now....

Plus there has been general distaste for the fed recently. Gives him good press and will upset people outside the Ron Paul republican faction if he doesn't get the chair.

Maybe im over thinking, but if I'm right, good move Dr. Paul.

I can't say I was right... but I can't say I was wrong either.

How many of those supported HR 1207? All of them, right? Try to get an article into Stars & Stripes. Let the military support for Ron Paul know what's happening.
The article said he'd approve the different committee chairs as early as 8 Dec. So we've got five days at minimum to make our voices heard. Good thing I've got MagicJack
Limbaugh's been on a pro-tea party tirade lately vs the "elite". Would he mention this just to dis Boehner? Even Schultz might bring this up since he supported the audit and it would be a good way for him to hate on the republican leadership.
Barney Frank was just on with Spitzer and said nothing about this though he talked about how the great rule they passed to rein in the Fed was going to help things. Of course, it's like he took all the credit for this, but it's better than other things he could have said. What would Barney think of Ron getting the subcommittee chair?

Because of 'that fringe stuff' and banking lobbyists, GOP leadership is deliberating possibly not giving it to Ron?

If Boehner chooses bank lobbyists, it will make a great campaign commercial. For his opponent.

I live in Ohio and I pledge to support anyone (hopefully a real conservative) who runs against this douche bag next election cycle. In my opinion, it doesn't matter anymore whether Dr. Paul is appointed to the Chairmanship or not; this fool has got to be voted out simply because he has shown his true colors as a collaborator with the counterfeiters. Fortunately, we have 23 months to vote this puppet out. So, who among the liberty movement lives in Ohio's 8th district? :D Please stand.

Hmm..this might sound redundant but what do you guys say when you call?

[Chester Copperpot]

Hmm..this might sound redundant but what do you guys say when you call?

My calls were pretty much this:

"Hi Im calling to see if congressman supports Ron Paul in the chairmanship of the subcommittee on domestic monetary policy"


at which point they dont know... so I follow with


"Im not sure if youre aware of it or not, but last night an article came out where John Boehner and 5 other GOP officials were looking to find ways to prevent Ron Paul from becoming the chairman of that subcommittee."

Which usually illicits another non-reaction.. because this is the first time theyre hearing this..



Im always respectful and polite but I tell them how it is..

I tell them all we care about is the federal reserve.. So if congressmen Boehner (I said this when I called them) votes against Ron we're going to know he's in the back pocket of all the banks and he needs to be out of a job.

Ive also let some know that any congressman who is a friend of the federal reserve.. is not a friend of america..

The calls are usually ended with them noting my support for Ron Paul for chair and they will let the congressman know when they see him..

remember every phone call is = to them like 1,000 people

[MRoCkEd]

Good work Mike. That's definitely how the calls should be conducted.

[Sola_Fide]

I said:

"This message is for _________. I am calling in support of Ron Paul to be the next chairman of the subcommitee on domestic monetary policy.

The grass roots in this country want Ron Paul to chair this commitee, Mr. _________. We want Ben Bernanke to face the serious questions that Ron Paul will pose to him. I want to warn you in the most sincere way that there will be a Tea Party backlash against many more establishment Republicans if Ron Paul is denied this seat again.

Thank you."

[Sola_Fide]

Just got through to Boeners office. The person taking the call was very professional. If we are passionate and polite, it can work wonders.

Right, but the person I am talking to has claimed that the GOP doesn't necessarily use a strict a seniority system and that not choosing Paul isn't some kind of conspiracy. If I can point to evidence that last time he was expected to become chairman they eliminated the committee, I think it is a powerful point.

[Dr.3D]

I think the point is that the article says BANK LOBBYISTS think they are persuading Boehner to block Ron Paul. The American people want Ron Paul. Bank lobbyists don't.

Seems to make the point that lobbyists run the country and the representatives only represent the lobbyists. Perhaps votes are not worth as much as the money a lobbyist can deliver.

http://www.lewrockwell.com/blog/lewrw/archives/68564.html


If the Republicans weren’t dishonest, and entirely in the pocket of the big banks, Ron Paul would be taking Barney Frank’s place as chairman of the finance committee. Not satisfied with blocking him there, they have even kept him out of the chairmanship of the monetary policy subcommittee, as Barney has frequently remarked. The first time the Republicans erased Ron’s seniority; the second time, they imported a congressman from another committee to take the job; the third time, they temporarily abolished the subcommittee. This time, I think they would fear the backlash, so Ron will probably be chairman. If so, I can’t wait for his hearings on the QE2, the gold, the business cycle, and much else.

Just called Beohner's DC office. The gentleman on the phone said that 'everyone will get a fair chance' at becoming chairman. I reminding him of the shenanigans used previously to block Ron Paul's appointment which were in fact unfair and that he is entitled to get the position. The gentleman then responded that the selection is not only based on seniority.

I then told him that the people are watching Boehner's actions in this regard more closely than I believe the Congressman realizes. I also reminded his office that it was the tea party movement which is the very reason Boehner became majority leader and if he were to block the appointment of Ron Paul, the very founder of the modern day Tea Party, it would not go unnoticed by the most vociferous contingent of the tea party movement.

[Bern]

In 2003, his seniority put him in line to chair the subcommittee that oversees the Federal Reserve. To deny him, Republican leaders merged two committees. In 2005, he was again set to assume the top spot. With another merger impossible, a senior colleague was pressured onto the subcommittee so that she, and not Paul, would take the gavel.

I wanted to check if anyone there was discussing this because when I checked last time they weren't.

There is a post at DP that someone called Ron's office and Ron's office said they hadn't been told anything to suggest he wouldn't get the position, and noting that calling Boehner could have a negative impact.

We have to be very polite and make sure we don't assume Boehner would listen to the bank lobbyists over the people.

UPDATE from Ron Paul's office: (H/T Maresco)


They are likely to vote on the seat next week (wed/thurs) and Paul is the senior person in line to be appointed. He said there has been no indication that Paul will not be appointed. I told him about the news article and that WE we're pretty hacked out here about it. He said calling Cantor & Boehner could have a negative impact.

BUT - if they skip over Paul (which will be announced next week) the full House of Rep's (Republicans only) have to ratify all the appointments. So if they do skip him, the phone campaign should begin then.

Normally I absolutely abhor democrats just a bit more than Republicans. Today, however, it has definitely reversed in the republicans favor. :mad: John Boehner knows what he is doing and clearly his interest lie with Wall Street and the banking cartel. Heaven forbid people get a little more informed every 3-4 months when Ron would blast bernanke/geithner. Looks like with this decision we will really find out the true extent to which the banking interest have a hold on the republicans.

I asked this question before, inkblots explained it well:



In order to keep Ron Paul from having seniority, they merged the Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy with the Subcommittee on International Monetary Policy.

To be fair, that does sound like two redundant committees. Domestic monetary policy is inextricable linked to international monetary policy.

Quote inkblots:
You might think so, but they've since split them again. Now they have Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology (Ron's subcommittee) as well as International Monetary Policy and Trade.

FreeRepublic pulls thread about Backstabbin' Boehner

I decided to see what, if anything, the guys over at FreeRepublic were saying about Ron Paul today.

I think the moderators must have been in the process of removing a thread entitled:

Boehner Aides: "Boehner looking for a way to shaft Ron Paul."

At the time, the link to the thread was visible on the FreeRepublic homepage, but when I clicked on it, there was a message saying the thread had been pulled.

So then I ventured over to Google to see if it had cached it yet. No such luck, but in the search results, there were a few links that were directed at the pulled thread, and in the summary underneath one of the links, a portion of one of the comments read as follows:

"If Boehner is seeking to keep Ron Paul away and protect Bernanke and the Fed, that's it for me. The GOP can well and truly go to hell."

UPDATE:

I just found another comment snippet that read:

"I am NO FAN of Ron Paul, but if EVER there was a position that he was particularly suited for, it would be THIS subcommittee chairmanship! ..."

Bohemian: So, called, and John's secretary says Paul has not submitted his name for consideration as chairman.

Well, if what Boehner's office says is true- and I have no reason to think I was just lied to - it might help if Dr. Paul actually submitted his name for consideration doncha think?

Fugitivekind: I just called Paul's office and he does not need to submit his name to head the subcommittee. According to an aide in Paul's office that I spoke with Spencer Bachus has assured Paul he will be in charge of the subcommittee.

Bohemian: Fugitive, either you or me. Someone call Dr. Paul and tell him to stop being a stubborn Texan and write a quick letter asking for consideration to chair the committee and slap it on Boehner's desk. God, smart people can be so stupid sometimes.

OK - I called and talked to Spencer. I'm paraphrasing, but I suggested that even though the requirement apparently isn't customary, couldn't Ron simply submit the request to take the wind out of that sail?

He said that Paul has indeed submitted his name to be on the committee, and that the position of chair naturally arises from the seniority on the commission. He's going to check with the senior staff about the statement from Boehner's office, and proceed accordingly.

I can't fix this, but I feel better knowing that at least I know they know.

He is absolutely no better than his predecessor. I am not delusional.

Bauchus is the ranking member of the committee.

He's next in line. I believe he's said he is going to be the chair after the Republican victories last month.

Someone should call Ron Paul's office and ask about this.

Different Spencer :) !

I only wish I could pick up the phone and get Bachus on the other end. The world would be mine! Bwaa haa haaa haaa haaa!

No?

[erowe1]

OK - I called and talked to Spencer. I'm paraphrasing, but I suggested that even though the requirement apparently isn't customary, couldn't Ron simply submit the request to take the wind out of that sail?

He said that Paul has indeed submitted his name to be on the committee, and that the position of chair naturally arises from the seniority on the commission. He's going to check with the senior staff about the statement from Boehner's office, and proceed accordingly.

I can't fix this, but I feel better knowing that at least I know they know.

Now who wants to call Boehner and ask if this is a new requirement?

It could be that that staffer from Boehner's office who made the comment about RP not submitting his name for consideration thought that the question was about an appointment to chair the full Financial Services Committee, not just the Domestic Monetary Policy Subcommittee. It's possible that the person who called wasn't completely clear on what they were asking about.

If the question were understood to be about chairing the full committee, then the answer would make sense since Boehner does have a say over the full committee chair, whereas he doesn't directly pick the subcommittee chairs (although he could dictate that part too, I'm sure, by refusing to give the committee chair to anyone who would appoint RP to chair the subcommittee), and since RP does not have the seniority to chair the full committee anyway, and would I'm sure have to go through some kind of unusual process to be considered for that, such as submitting his name to Boehner.

AJ covered it quite well today on his show and gave out the number for Boner's office He said that if you look up the true German? pronunciation, it is actually pronounced BONER, AJ said there is nothing wrong w/ having the last name of BONER, but that is how it is actually pronounced. He then went on to spell it so that people knew who they were dealing with :D
I believe he also put some search terms out there...

I'd love to see Ron take smug Melvin's chair from him. Bet Tom Woods would, too.

FreeRepublic pulls thread about Backstabbin' Boehner

I decided to see what, if anything, the guys over at FreeRepublic were saying about Ron Paul today.

I think the moderators must have been in the process of removing a thread entitled:

Boehner Aides: "Boehner looking for a way to shaft Ron Paul."

At the time, the link to the thread was visible on the FreeRepublic homepage, but when I clicked on it, there was a message saying the thread had been pulled.

So then I ventured over to Google to see if it had cached it yet. No such luck, but in the search results, there were a few links that were directed at the pulled thread, and in the summary underneath one of the links, a portion of one of the comments read as follows:

"If Boehner is seeking to keep Ron Paul away and protect Bernanke and the Fed, that's it for me. The GOP can well and truly go to hell."

UPDATE:

I just found another comment snippet that read:

"I am NO FAN of Ron Paul, but if EVER there was a position that he was particularly suited for, it would be THIS subcommittee chairmanship! ..."

Shortly after posting the initial thread and before I updated it, Google would no longer load for me. I had to use an alternate means of searching google to find the second quote...kinda creepy.

Boehner surely does not want to rattle and radicalize the liberty folks before he is even officially voted in as Speaker, if he has any sense. The bankers may have pistol whipped the sense out of him, true, but the impact of blocking the appointment of a senior figure connected to the tea party and liberty movements, weeks after the election that gave the GOP a majority in the House, WILL be viewed as a clear betrayal, right at kick-off time for the GOP presidential nomination race season. Boehner is not just playing with fire, he's kickstarting Mount St. Helens.

[speciallyblend]

Is this all because of that stupid earmark thing from earlier this year when Boehner said any Republican supporting earmarks would loose their committee spots?? Either way, Boehner is a tool!

the only way we can reform the failed gop is to get rid of big government lovers like Boehner. He is part of the problem in the gop!! I fear we are years from reforming the gop when we have gop leaders like this!!

Boehner should never be trusted he is part of the old gop establishment that must go!!! They are the problem in the gop. The good ole boy system!!!

Alot must happen in the next 6 months to 2 yrs! I hope the gop gets their crap together but i highly doubt that will happen when i see these type of republicans still talking!!!!

playing with fire? I have more then fire for the boehner and gop types like him!!

yep, everytime they attack Ron Paul and Liberty Republicans/Liberty Movement!! The harder i hold accountable elected republicans to the Liberty Message and work at removing them if they do not follow the Liberty Platform!!

everytime these republicans speak it makes me want to hold the gop accountable since republicans are not democrats the last time i looked even obama is a dem not a republican go figure!

screw the dems and obama the problem is the gop leadership and many in the gop!

Denninger's comment section (http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=173992):


Pika-steph: Don't overlook the fact that RP is asking for OUR help. He's right that he is going to need support, what with Boehner apparently being all freaked out about the idea of RP giving the Federal Reserve hell, which will obviously result in Boehner being cut off from his banker buddies. The REAL difference between RP and anyone else the RINOs might put in the Chairman positin is that RP doesn't take donations (bribes) from bankers. He doesn't give a **** if the banks cut him off.

I'm listening to the vid now to see what he says.

FWIW, just after that comment, she posted infowars' "Stop the John Boehner scam: Give Ron Paul monetary subcommittee chair" with all the contact info.

[Lucille]

What he said in the vid was to put pressure on CONgress to fully audit the Fed.

Does anyone know if he or his people send Boehner a letter of request to Chair that committee yet, just to be safe?

[Dr.3D]

I have a hunch, the GOP will go extinct before we get what we want, and if they keep doing what they are doing, that won't take but a couple of years.

per whomever these people are, Boehner said the story was false so people shouldn't be sucked in. (they take cracks at infowars for stirring stuff up, as well, but seems to me Bloomberg should share that credit if the story is false.)

i'm quite confident it was a trial balloon. i won't be surprised if those anonymous advisers were instructed by Boehner to create the rumor and see how the public reacted.

[Paul.Bearer.of.Injustice]

Ron's going to get the subcommittee chair since it's a worthless, powerless position.
What we want is Barney's vacated seat in the real committee (no sub), which is Baucus' as of right now.
The stuff we watch on CSPAN is the committee, not subcommittee.
Baucus needs to yield for Ron to get the Chair, Frank's old seat.

From the 1st post in this thread, we were asked NOT to call Boehner right now. So, why are people doing it?

UPDATE from Ron Paul's office:


Quote:
They are likely to vote on the seat next week (wed/thurs) and Paul is the senior person in line to be appointed. He said there has been no indication that Paul will not be appointed. I told him about the news article and that WE we're pretty hacked out here about it. He said calling Cantor & Boehner could have a negative impact.

BUT - if they skip over Paul (which will be announced next week) the full House of Rep's (Republicans only) have to ratify all the appointments. So if they do skip him, the phone campaign should begin then.
