Re:Patrick Cleburne's article LaTourette Achievement: Speaker Boehner Explains Why Speaker Boehner Has To Go

From: Robin Corkery (e-mail him)

Boehner long ago lost sight of principle in favor of "pragmatism".  At a reception for my Congresswoman Cathy McMorris  Rodgers, I heard Boehner inveigh against what he called "knuckle-draggers".  There was no doubt he was talking about members who insisted on government getting serious about its duty to protect our borders.

See previous letters from Robin Corkery.

James Fulford writes:Steve Latourette applied the same epithet—"knuckle-draggers”—to Tea Party influenced candidates “that came in in the last election that hate taxes.”[Rep. LaTourette Tells Transit Advocates to Ask Congress for What They Need, by Tanya Snyder, DC.StreetsBlog.org, March 16, 2011]
