The Speaker needs to go. Not for ideological reasons. But for stupidity. Pure ineptness. With the CBO reporting that the much vaunted CR actually only provided for a few hundred million in actual cuts, rather than the much ballyhooed $38 billion, Boehner has shown himself incapable of leading the GOP caucus, and the House. Remember, if not for the 3 day requirement to post the bill before voting on it, this wou;d ahve been a done deal. The GOP HOuse would have foudn itself it he Pelosiesque position of "having to pass the CR bill to finsd out what's in it.." Now, incredibly, he has put the House GOP in a really lousy position.
Boehner either :
1. Mislead his caucus..not tellig them what was actually in the bill...IOW, he mislead them, or
2. He didn't know what his staff had agreed to..incompetence..
Forget all the talk about about Ryan for president..Make him Speaker...now..that would send a clear message tot he country.
Bachmann for Speaker!
From what I can see he appears to be alcohol impaired.
Oh God, please give us some Republican leadership with a backbone.
But he has a good excuse for not reading it.
It was just a short walk across the aisle but he knew some conservative, `tea party,’ yellow, right wing bullies were waiting in the wings to jump him, so he borrowed some security guards.
Well, the bullies really `buttered the guards’ neckties’ and sent them howling back to the left side of the aisle.
So he tried to send some of his aides—strapping young homosexuals who could scratch your eyes out if provoked, say, by insulting their outfits.
Unfortunately, they were set upon as well by the cowardly right wingers—given a sound thrashing and sent back to Speaker Hairy.
So Hairy sighed and assembled all he had left (as it were): a handful of pages to go on the mission, to take the walk to recover the bill so that it might be read.
They were back in two shakes of a lamb’s tale with the papers. But Hairy still didn’t bother to read it because he saw some news cameras.
So he really didn’t have an excuse.
Moral? Let your pages do the walking through the yellow wingers.
Here!! Here!!
Give us non entrenched politicians that bring their own water from their districts.
Alan West..just said that the Boehner and the GOP leadership need a “come-to-Jesus” momentr witht he caucus..
I think you just described Trump...
Do you want him to cry!? Is that what you want? Be nice!
they need to shut down the govt and call Obamas bluff on not paying the military..let him piss them and the rest of the country off...I doubt even Obama is stupid enough to go through with not paying the military..it would be his Waterloo...
GOD BLESS CONGRESSMAN ALLEN WEST!
