Kraut lives in a dream world where Boehnor and McConnell have integrity and a spine to go with it.
Boehner & McConnell want most of all to punt these issues until after the midterms. They want to avoid conflict with Obama at all costs and by keeping quiet hope that people don’t notice their perfidy. They are careerists who simply want to enjoy the beltway good life and rake in the lobbyist cash.
