He is just playing the “positioning game”....
nothing more, the guy doesn’t have a stiff bone in his body, except maybe the Viagra induced one...
Talk is cheap and Boehner hopes we’re buying plenty.
I’m being Susie Sunshine here, always hoping for something positive to happen. Maybe Boehner finally got bullied too far by Obama. I’m just doubtful that even that would stop Boehner from punishing constitutional conservatives in the HOR.
Those of us that were watching closely, saw the effect that the 2008 and 2009 Sarah Palin had on politicians like Jim DeMint and Rick Perry, and others, that started speaking more confidently and defending conservatism with bolder language, and becoming less timid in standing against the media and the left.
It could be that leadership like TED Cruz, that steps out in front and survives the media onslaught and continues to meet it, really does do what leadership is supposed to do, reproduce itself and create courage and forward movement.
Boehner could be on the White House script ,so there could be some kind of Bizarre Deal coming
Talk is cheap from the squishy Cheeto. He’ll fold like a cheap suit.
Now when he tries to revert to the old days it's more than likely just pandering before the eventual behind-the-scenes capitulation.
” Where was this defiant opposition to Obama’s executive action when the Congress passed the Cromnibus? “
Where it is now, in the toilet.
When all is said and done I believe it will be: “or is this too little too late?”
Republicans ought to keep it real simple. They should simply say to the American people that Obama’s policies be they Obamacare, excessive regulations, borrowing and money printing,the non enforcement of laws and border security, bizarre contortions and incomprehensible statements when confronted with Islamic terrorism are just some of the reasons the American people elected a Republican Congress and Senate. They should explain that while they do not have executive power, they are doing all they can as legislators to limit the damage and correct what they can.
Congressman Boehner HAS been sounding quite a bit more conservative lately. I’ll hope for the best but if his (and his leadership’s team) actions turn out to not follow the “talk”, I won’t be surprised.
But I’m definitely willing to be pleasantly surprised.
nobody will fall for that I hope
After the outcry over his reelection as speaker he has had to up his Kabuki.
And the Devil can quote scripture....
Between inviting BiBi to speak to the Congress and telling the Senate to do their job its almost like somebody taped a popsicle stick to Tammy Faye’s back.
A few weeks of non-betrayal doesn’t undo years of it.
Spine?
Boehner?
oh, no.
housewife that he is.
He just sounded drunk to me. False courage.
Do not be deceived by the orange, weeping, drunk, squishy oompah-loompah!
