John Boehner has been hanging around at The White House, and apparently he has picked up some tips from the Thug-In-Chief. Now, Boehner is threatening to have his RINO cronies in the Ohio Statehouse to gerrymander Jim Jordan's (R-Ohio) US House of Representatives district so that Jordan will not be re-elected. Why? Because Jordan is doing what a US Representative should be doing, that is, he is representing his constituents point of view.
So what does Boehner do to those who disagree with him? The same thing that Barack Hussein Obama does....play thug games. From The Columbus Dispatch:
Jim Jordan's open defiance of Speaker John Boehner's efforts to solve the debt-ceiling crisis could cost the Urbana Republican his safe House seat in next year's election.
Two Republican sources deeply involved in configuring new Ohio congressional districts confirmed to The Dispatch today that Jordan's disloyalty to Boehner has put him in jeopardy of being zeroed out of a district.
"Jim Jordan's boneheadedness has kind of informed everybody's thinking," said one of the sources, both of whom spoke only on condition of anonymity. "The easiest option for everybody has presented itself."
Jordan's rural 11-county district, which has a 60 percent Republican voter index, "is easy to cannibalize because it stretches so far," the other source said.
Jordan, a tea party favorite who leads the 170-plus member Republican Study Committee, has stymied Boehner's efforts to raise the debt ceiling.
Apparently if you spend enough time making deals with President Obama, you'll start to operate like President Obama does.
