John Boehner elected to represent the 8th Congressional District of Ohio for a 10th term in November 2008. As House Republican Leader and a staunch opponent of pork-barrel politics, John is fighting to eliminate wasteful spending, create jobs, and balance the federal budget without raising taxes.
John Boehner has held a low profile. His image has been very good in representing Ohio.
Boehner is the minority leader of the republican party. If he wins in November and the Republicans pick up enough seats to overtake the house, then he will become majority leader.
John Boehner is for government accountability. He also wants to lower government spending. These are good things.
I think that John done a pretty good job for Ohio. Even thou I can't fully support him since I'm a Dem, but I have to say he is pretty good about cutting money out of bills. It helps Ohio save a little bit more to keep things going in this bad economy.
The fact that Boehner is serving his 10th term in the house says a lot. I agree with his ideals and that the Republican party can take back the majority again.
My opinion of you is so horrible I cant possibly write it here. Rest assured though that we reap what we sow.
Hows your golfing going?
Speaking as a citizen from another
State, we are sick to death of John Boehner’s pathetic leadership of the house. The rest of the nation is praying that you throw him out as soon as possible. Thank you.
