It looks like the only internecine battles we can expect this year among Republicans will be between John Boehner and Mitch McConnell to see who can cave in first to Obama’s policies.
Many dictatorships have legislatures that exist simply for show, and now America will have one, too, if the Republicans in Congress are unable to choose House and Senate leaders who will oppose Obama rather than rubber stamp his policies in the manner of John Boehner and Mitch McConnell.
Let’s hope there are at least SOME Republican Congressman who will speak out publicly against the Obama/Boehner policies rather than submit to serving as mere extras in the new government of Obama, by Obama, and for Obama.
Only one question is relevant the next 2 months.
Is Boehner willing to cause a US Government default?
If the answer is no, how can he negotiate debt ceiling issues?
Is there anyone for whom the answer would be yes? If you cause a default . . . what happens, and don’t limit yourself only to the good things.
