It is not Boehner's fault that the Senate is controlled by Democrats, and that the President is a Democrat. I'm sure he'd much rather have Republicans in those positions. Unfortunately, that's not what the electorate gave him.

The 2010 elections were a single, not a double or home run. The hard truth is that meaningful reforms will not happen as long as Democrats control the White House or Senate. That means the right approach is to do whatever we can strategically to give us that majority we need. Engaging in tactics that make us feel emotionally better but don't advance the ball in terms of legislation, and hurt our political prospects, are not smart.

The GOP has been losing the politics game for years playing it this way. The people are sick of it. This is a proven losing strategy.

Boehner is a disgrace.

It’s time to do the right thing, politics be damned.

Don’t focus on the danger, focus on the opportunity to bring Americans up to speed and into reality. Just because Boehner is not up to the job doesn’t mean there isn’t a republican who can.
