Jim, I wouldn't mind that a bit, and as you well know, the Speaker does not have to be a sitting congress critter. At least Newt can make cogent arguments, and isn't afraid of a good old fashioned fight. Boehner is beyond useless!
I would love to see the Tea Party House members put Newts name in the bucket! I hope they take your suggestion!
Can't believe I'm saying this, but in this case, I HOPE there is the greatest tax increase in history ... it would go perfectly with OBAMA's "legacy" and would forever brand libs as spend and tax. I always smile when I remember my lib (X) friend saying to me he was voting for Obama (the first time) because he was "fiscally responsible" unlike Bush.
John, “assault weapons?” ... does this include forks and sharp sticks? Define it please?
Bawlin’ Boehner is now starting to shuck and jive, trying to dodge the fact that any tax increases, whether large or small, are actually HIS doing. Had he not decided to cave to zero, he could have had the Dems and zero directly on the hook for any tax increases. But, because he caved, he made the coming taxmageddon a bi-partisan effort rather than just a leftist effort!
Good going, John . . . . . . . . . . . you moronic sockpuppet!!
Boehner needs to shut up and stop going over to the Kenyan’s house and then demand that the Kenya finally submit a budget. Refuse to do anything until he does.
“I know Boehner is getting ragged on a lot these days, and a lot of it is deserved. Still, I think he may be playing the game better than we’re giving him credit for. Offer up a millionaire’s tax that Obama’s own party once submitted, then let Obama’s own party shoot it down.”
I agree. I think it is wicked clever! Make the DEMS & President the ones to ultimately precipitate the fiscal clift.
As embarrassing and useless as Boehner is, it is surprising that hardly any of the “troops” are in a state of revolt against “the leadership.” Maybe he has “something” on nearly all of them.
