RE :" Boehner had it right but the GOP intelligentsia made him back down. I don’t appreciate being part of a party that plays the fool and allows clowns like Reid and the Kenyan Kommunist to laugh at us."

I appreciate your frustration.

I am not convinced that Boehner is on the side you think he is. They way things worked out with the negotiations (which included Boehner), the dead end stand and then 'the cave' it looks to me like Boehner was on the other side just playing his members. The way he played it he let them ask him to give in after the pressure got too high.

The problem with the House Republicans strategy is they had no backup plan in case Obama and Reid stood firm and refused to call the Senate back. Their only backup plan appeared to be to surrender. Not much principles in that.

And I have no respect for those RINOs in the Senate and WSJ. They have no plan for winning this next year that I can see.

Boehner was offered a conference committee on the 1 year deal for relenting on the 2 months deal and I don’t think he took it. You don’t leave stuff on the table.
