Boehner took the club out of Obama’s hands and is now beating him over the head with it, and yet you complain.
There is no opportunity for your imaginary conservative dictator, to implement your heart’s desire.
Time to recognize success when it shows up, and quit whining.

Yep - small concessions to keep the mudfight over a shutdown out of the picture and is taking it straight to the Dims. He has had some weak moments, but appears to be on the right track for now.

I so hope you are right, but Boehner has so often managed to modify to mollify and snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. We really don’t need to negotiate with ourselves.

We need to provide the best bill we can and get behind it hard. We own one house of congress and the purse strings. It’s time that the left understands that.

Just like our Presidential Candidate selection. Now is the time for ideas not personalities. We need to draw some lines in the sand and say, “Here’s the minimum, are you up to it? Do you have something better?”. We can wrangle over the pretty faces that are left.

In may seem success at the moment, but be certain, in the end, Boehner will screw conservatives. I am under no illusion that there will be the slightest move towards Liberty. He throws crumbs to placate the foolish.

Boehner is a true enemy of our Constitution. The total sum of his actions is proof that he worships at the alter of State Power.

I know. Senate Republicans caved but Boehner and House GOPers are FIGHTING. What part of this do the posters on thread not understand? They have developed such a habit of dumping on Boehner, they react in knee-jerk fashion when they see his name. Really, it's unbelievable.

These are the same folks with the same attitudes that brought us losses in the 2006 Congressional elections, and hence, the dismal situation we are in today. They aid the enemy ... in the name of "true conservatism?"
