Boehner Cut Deal With Pelosi to Avoid Government Shutdown
breitbart.com ^ | 9/25/15 | Michael Patrick Leahy

Posted on 09/25/2015 9:11:43 AM PDT by cotton1706

Sources tell Breitbart News that several members of the House of Representatives are saying “the rumor is Boehner cut a deal with Pelosi.”

According to those sources, outgoing House Speaker Rep. John Boehner and Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi agreed that her Democratic caucus would join Boehner along with a handful of Boehner loyalists and moderate establishment Republicans to continue Planned Parenthood funding, along with a few other budget items President Obama says were must-haves, in order to avoid a Government shutdown.

Boehner resigned because he knew that after he cut that deal, conservatives in his own party would be so furious with him that it would make challenges to his Speakership a certainty, sources say. Even if he survived those challenges, his remaining year and three months in office would be contentious and personally uncomfortable for him.

One source specifically said that the deal was limited to a continuing resolution that would last only until December 11.

Boehner’s last day as Speaker and member of the House of Representatives is slated for October 30.

Boehner reportedly knew that cutting such a deal to avoid a shutdown would result in a brutal battle with conservatives in his own party. He felt he could win challenges to his leadership mounted by conservatives in his own party, but thought it might do damage to the House and the Republican Party, sources say.

If Kevin McCarthy ascends as Speaker, nothing will change.

He’s a RINO minus Boehner’s fake tan and real tears.

“and personally uncomfortable for him.”

Well, we don’t want Boehner to be “personally uncomfortable.”

Never mind that his drunken, traitorous tenure has made the rest of us uncomfortable.

When the Democrats were in charge, we would never have read a headline that said, “Pelosi Cut Deal With Boehner to Avoid Government Shutdown.”

Even if he had gained the whole world, it and all his crying won’t get him his soul back.

Nope. Maybe we now know real reason why Boehner was crying so hard, during Pope’s speech.

I am beyond SICK of the trembling and pants-wetting over this mythical “government shutdown” as it if were armageddon! It had happened before and those of us who have lives and work for a living would not notice it if it wasn’t for the media blathering on about it. So the democrats will let the government shut down and nonessential government workers will have to watch porn at home instead of at their offices. Oh noes!

It is a trump card each and every time for the democrats and effectively nullifies the House’s power of the purse and ensures that government will never shrink.

Does anyone recall the Obama shut down October 2013? What it entailed, how many people were either put out or shut out of government run parks, jobs etc. and the expense of closing those federally run parks, monuments etc.. Planned parenthood can be defunded without shutting the government down if all elected were to deny the unnecessary barbarian practice of selling baby body parts, euphemistically called 'body tissue', and enforce the law that prevents that.

Woman's health is her choice as to procreating.

Get a grip! The Republicans were NEVER going to shut down the government!

Only Obama was. Because the Republicans EXCLUDED the funding of 500 million dollars to Planned Parenthood an organization that supplemented their income by selling the brains, legs, arms and other human body parts to NAZI type research companies.

Obama would shut down the government, not Republucans & Boehner is going to the firery place upon his death for allowing it. Which is why he crus and self medicates with alcohol. In the words of The Donald, he is pathetic!

Me thinks Boehner's persistent crying during the Pope's visit is because as an altar boy he was sexually abused by a Catholic priest or other representative of the church. THIS EXPLAINS HIS HYPER-SENSITIVITY AND CONSTANT CRYING ON OTHER OCCASIONS AS WELL.

Team 0dunga knows EVERYTHING about every member of Congress (and SCOTUS), given most of them have security clearances and thus special background investigations. Also, 0dunga uses his NSA to dig up dirt on our representatives to use for blackmail to ensure he always gets his way. Perhaps Boehner being abused as an altar boy is the information 0dunga blackmails him with in order to vote the way he wants.
