Levin is convinced that it’s a deliberate war against conservatives, directed from Boehner’s office itself. It would be wonderful if it were coming from the Dims trying to get the Republicans to eat their own.
But sadly, it’s the Beltway Republicans eating their own without any help whatsoever from the Dims.
It’s not just leftover staffers backstabbing. This is being done with full authorization from Boehner and his ilk. They truly believe that the Tea Party will hurt the Republicans. They cannot see that their only salvation rests with making common cause with the Tea Party.
They are fools, ignoramuses, but they hold the leadership positions.
It’s about time for the Freshmen to take a stand and vote as a bloc to make the point that Boehner is chicken-sh!t without their support, not the other way around. Unless they do that, he will continue to treat them like a battered wife who always forgives and comes back for more. Boehner’s bluff needs to be called.

The story per Politico.
Well, either way it doesn’t hurt to hold their feet to the fire to keep them in line. The new data that continues to come out showing how much the debt is increasing, including that if all nondescretionary spending were completely eliminated (including the entire military), the budget would still be in deficit is reason enough.
