Boehner has already said that he will not use a government "shutdown" in negotiations, so what does he have to use when it comes to the debt ceiling battle? The only way things will change in Washington is for a new party to form that rejects the Beltway way of doing business. The Republicans and Democrats are both making sure that the size and scope of government doesn't recede, the rest is just bread and circuses for the fools that support both parties.
Yep. the future is now what Boehner does, not what he had done in the past. I agree that his time is now and how he handles it is key! I have given him grace for the past, but it is not time to step up and take charge.
Willing to give him comfort, but only if he does the right thing...and he knows what is right! If he does not do the right thing - the Tea Party will bring him to bear...
Waiting with baited breath...heh...
