Stage a damn revolt and replace his a$$!
Am I over simplifying this? Why can't they just tell him to step aside and let the REAL men and women lead if he won't?
I am so sick of Boehner and these damnable RINOs I could spit!!!
Why would you want to remove him? This moves RIGHTWARD, and does so in a way that he can talk about how he’s willing to compromise.
NEVER EVER FORGET that the winner of this battle is whoever polls strongest by pollsters, and to do that he has to swing the independents. If the polls go heavily against Boehner, we’d be going against THE PEOPLE.
So optimal strategy is to do what he’s doing. THESE ARE NOW LEGIT CUTS. He’s taking a significant chunk off FY2012. It’s 10X more than he took of FY2011. This big a chunk of FY2012 is going to smash GDP next year and increase unemployment, and that’s the price of cuts. This took courage to do, and it’s a winning strategy for One Particular Reason:
He’s right: When things get chaotic and we have this concrete, properly computed plan on the table, the Senate will fold. They have too many Dem Senators fearful of Tea Party backlash. They will cave.
And then Obama would be faced with a bill both houses passed.
This is a pretty good FIRST TRANCHE. (The second comes in Feb with even more cuts). It’s not “as good as we can get”. It’s good. It’s not perfect. Nothing ever is or ever will be. But this is flat out good.
it won’t make any difference to replace Boehner....
We only have the HALF OF THE CONGRESS, we don’t have the SENATE or the Presidency. THAT is the reality, Boehner or not.
‘Can’t the Conservative House Republicans force Boehner out of his speaker ship?’
That’s a great question.
Sorry if I don’t believe those who tell us that the House must write the bill the dems want. That’s nonsense. The country cannot survive more of this kind of ‘compromise’.
What plan would a more “conservative” speaker be able to get through the Senate and the Pres?
