Boehner needs to stop acting like the battered wife here and tell this sociopath to stuff it.

The Republicans better start getting in front of some microphones every damned day and start controlling the narrative on this.

Good analogy. Like the battered wife, the 'Pubs need to understand that Obama isn't going to stop beating them as long as they give in each time. Every time they give in only emboldens him to beat them harder the next time. It won't stop until they rise up and spit in his eye and walk away.

At this point, the 'Pubs have nothing to lose. They understand that the sheeple are going to blame them no matter what they do or don't do. So at least go out fighting for what you believe in. Who knows, they might get in a few punches of their own before the door slams. Better that than slink away with nothing to show.
