Republican leader, John "I'd rather be golfing" Boehner, is making a lot of promises to be redeemed if he gains control of the House of Representatives. Personally, I would love to see Boehner with egg on his face. I think Boehner is a pompous jerk who protects the rich, the powerful, and his lobbyist friends.
From Politico we can see that Boehner has a new promise for a Republican candidate:
Minority Leader John Boehner has promised that Missouri Republican Vicky Hartzler would get a seat on the Armed Services Committee if she wins and Republicans take control of the House. Hartzler, a former state Representative, is running against Armed Services Committee Chairman Ike Skelton in southwest Missouri, and with two large bases in the district, military issues have defined the race....
You should know that: Republican Edward Martin, not a veteran, has endorsed the Paul Ryan budget plan which would cut veterans programs and aid to their families. If you are a vet, or have a vet in your family, I'm going to guess you won't want to vote for Ed Martin.
I wonder if John Boehner has made any promises to Republican candidate, Steve Stivers, a former bank lobbyist. Boehner would probably appoint Stivers to the House Committee on Financial Services and the Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit. If Boehner made such an appointment, it would be like Boehner spitting in the face of consumers. It would be like the fox guarding the hen house.
