It sounds like Boehner is still hoping to win over the illegal alien vote for his GOPe.

This is a smart move on his part. The GOP is faced with looming tax increases. Well Obama is faced with a looming balanced budget. Who do you think would hate to face what they don’t want more?

..... Carefully Chosen as his one partner in the dance of negotiations that will determine the fate of this once powerful nation.

Knowing the strings to pull ..... Boehner is played like a fiddle by the master of deception and the father of lies.

Yet he seeks to do business with the one that no man can trust.

A willing participant in the errand of a fool.

Boehner is scared to death of Dec. 31 coming with no deal. Why he is scared is of no consequence, it is what it is. He goes to Pres and gives in to “x”, Pres says no. Boehner goes back again and this time adds “x” to give up. Pres says no. Boehner will keep going back giving up something else and finally when he has nothing else to give as Pres now has it all, Pres will say OK.

We need a different speaker just so we don’t have to look at a crying Boehner.

The USA has come to a very sorry state of affairs when one person of the likes of Boehner elected buy a very small proportion of citizens can sell out the economic and traditional values of our Nation. Shame on all the other Republicans who follow like sheep. Of course like the old adage a citizen never really knows what they are buying—or do they?

It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder. - Frederic Bastiat

—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

I wonder how Boehner can be so pathologically incapable of understanding & conveying how we would prefer no government to the lawless federal Government that now exist.

Just shut the monstrous thing down!

If that means what I think it does then I’m down with it, Skink. I’m more disgusted with them than I am with the ‘Rats.

If Boehner gets large enough spending cuts the increased debt limit is irrelevant and theoretically wouldn’t be reached. Obie won’t agree and is increasingly looking like the one to blame for the predicament

I’m sceptical that Boehner has toughened enough to achieve anything meaningful but assume Obie wants a crisis. Boehners offers will shift blame from republicans to a Marxist in the white hut who is seeking chaos for the sake of decimating the country.

esp. after the Marxists' gloating; it would be nice (for a few times of his tenure) SotH Boemher
showed maybe a bit of intelligence..skill/resolve dealing with this Indonesian certified b@$t@rd.
..After all the GOP remained in the majority (even after the GOP/Establishment Wing tried they're
damnedest to surrender to the ememedia prior to 11-6) after the election, that SHOULD STAND
for something...*time-out for the Michael Berry..or maybe Chris Plante Shows

COMPROMISE!

The most beautiful sound to a Republican’s ears.

It means that they don’t have to stand their ground and maybe “piss off” some of the more liberal voters; it means they are being nice and are going along to get along and don’t have to be called “mean spirited.”

As I have said many, many times in the past, true leaders NEVER COMPROMISE.

Every time I hear the name “Bohner” my stomach turns. Worse yet the RINOs, timid Republicans and Politically Correct all eat “compromise” for their daily power trip.

I’ve thrown up my hands! We have no one to represent us!
