what do you expect Boner to do?
his majority includes ...

1) Republicans in swing districts, that have to fight for themselves just to get elected, we are lucky to have them,
but they can’t help much, except during the time when the
House organizes itself. (then we need them).

2) Republicans in super safe districts, that are out to
make a name for themselves by causing trouble.

consider recent episodes of gov’t shutdown.
to fight back properly, Boner would have to get passed...
what I call ‘tactical legislation’, to make Obama look bad.

2) above Republicans, won’t cooperate unless they are paid off, even the Speaker of the House will eventually
run out of perks to give away.

because Boner can’t fight back properly,
sometimes, it is better to make a deal and fold.

IMO, we need to concentrate on the winning
the Senate in the upcoming mid-terms ...
not on fighting-out a new round of gov’t-shutdowns

Oops, you forgot to add the need to run ads against conservatives calling them racists and extremists. Oh, I forgot, they’re (GOP) already doing that.

He can fight for what is right.

I am so glad that the Founders of this great country of ours did not have the weak-kneed approach that you have.

If they were to have followed your line of thinking, they would have looked at the strongest military of the day, Great Britain, and would have said, "What do you expect us to do, we can't win, we're just a bunch of farmers, businessmen, and landowners. We can't win against the invincible army and navy of the King."

So what if the GOPe wins the Senate, it won’t make a damn bit of difference.
