Jim Jordan is about as good as it gets. In fact, on my web site which ranks strictly based upon votes, he is the number one tea party voter in the House. You can see the rankings by clicking here.
Jim spoke on a conference call I was in on a couple of weeks ago and I was very impressed. More importantly, Jim stands by our principles and stood firmly with us in opposition to the horrible Boehner debt increase plan. He is loyal. Same here. You? Keep reading.
Now in what has to be seen as retaliation for Jordan’s current and previous independence from the Establishment GOP’s dictates, John Boehner is reportedly approving an Ohio redistricting plan that gets rid of Jordan’s district. You heard that right. Stand up for what is right against the country clubbers and they will get you. That is hardball, friends.
Surely they know this means war. We have more House Cleaning to do than I had hoped. Apparently they simply did not get it last November.
Did you know that Jim was a four time state wrestling champ in high school and two time NCAA Division I champ in college? Mark Levin mentioned it while talking to Jim on his radio show.
In wrestling, when your opponent seems to have you, if you can accomplish a reversal, you can turn the tables quickly.
Jim’s district adjoins John Boehner’s district.
Jim’s Reversal: Move into Boehner’s disrict and primary him.
Let’s take up a collection to pay Jim’s moving expense. Let’s send a message so loud that even John Boehner and Mitch McConnell can hear it: you serve at our pleasure, you insubordinate former employees.
Disappointing to hear Boehner use those tactics, but not surprising. As expected, he and the majority of old school politicians (Democrat or Republican – makes no difference) – they fall into the ‘we must do something to appease the sheep’ mantra. Compromise is not always called for – sometimes you must take your medicine and accept the consequences.
This could be our opportunity to get rid of Boehner once and for all. Smart people were already going to work hard to primary him, but Boehner may be shooting himself in the foot by doing this. Jim Jordan is *good*. He would be a GREAT candidate against Orange John.
Sadly too many of our political leaders no longer are concerned with our country. There are only two things that seem to be important to them anymore. Number 1 is to keep (or get) their political party in power, number 2 to get reelected.
Watching the Republican leadership indicates that they want to APPEAR to be aligning with the tea party while in reality they want to be able to continue to spend as usual. The “LOOTERS” (aka progressives, liberals, & rhinos) will do anything or try anything to maintain their collective and individual power. That is what we see Boehner attempting to accomplish.
If Jordan’s district is in fact to be eliminated, then we all need to get on board with doing any and everything we can to convince him to move into Boehner’s district and primary him. Watching the ‘brand’ of leadership that Boehner has shown us in the debt ceiling, the CR and other situations leads me to be believe Boehner should be “primaried” even if Jordan’s district remains.
Not since 9-11 has something brought the two parties together like the Tea Party movement has.
When they circle the wagons like this against their common enemy, they tip their hands to the truth.
