Boehner has shown himself to be an unprincipled, prevaricating POS. He promised to not conduct business like Pelosi did when he took over, yet he holds negotiations about huge public policy issues in private with the wannabe dictator and his minions, just like San Fran Nan. Boner promised not to vote on any bills until they were posted for 72 hours so the people would have a chance to look at them. What happened to that promise? Don’t forget that the whole sequestration situation is a result of Boner’s lousy deal with Obama over the last debt limit. You can be Pollyanna if you want and tell yourself that this deal is not so bad but in real life, this deal sucks for America and Boner got rolled by Obama. Again. What is wrong with standing on principle? I guess that is hard to do when Boner apparently has no principles. I believe that with Boner’s “leadership” the stupid party will manage to take the results of one of the biggest wave elections in history (2010) and do absolutely nothing with the majority before handing the House back to Pelosi in 2014. How much do you want to bet that Boner folds again on the debt limit? I am really concerned that Boner will fold on the upcoming AWB too because that is all the Boner seems to be capable of doing.
I used to love beating up on Bohner especially when he was minority leader but this latest unneeded fiasco forced on him has made me feel sorry for him,
Tomorrow is judgement day, when no one in the House challenges Bohner as House Speaker.
Its one thing to be in the safe district and vote to oppose extending tax cuts while claiming falsely that you voted against tax increases(because you were told to say that) , its another to step up to a job like Speaker where you are subject to such non-sense and clearly unreasonable demands.
No one, no one in the fwightened wabbit caucus that voted against this bill, voted against stopping our taxes from going up will run as Speaker, no certainly not Cantor.
Their 'no' votes no can be filed with the 33 symbolic O care votes that were also meaningless.
There are a few libs on TV whining about O getting them a bad deal, but for the most part the Dems are sticking together as a team to win, you see ?? that is what they care about. Winning. You know how you actually win these?? You win elections, you get voters on your side, not to HATE you. DUHHHHH
Dems know that. That was their 2012 strategy.
