Republican leaders defended a modest budget deal that would maintain government operations through 2015 amid conservative opposition that could scuttle the legislation in the House.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, lashed out at conservative advocacy groups that have encouraged GOP lawmakers to oppose a budget framework unveiled last night by Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash.
"They're using our members and they're using the American people for their own goals," an animated Boehner told reporters at the Capitol. "This is ridiculous."

Boehner interrupted again: They're using our members and they're using the American people for their own goals, he said, raising his voice Their own goals? What are "their own goals", John? Might they be a reduction in deficits, smaller government, less restrictive regulation, repeal of Obamacare, a new tax system, more state power and a strict adherence to the Constitution? The real question for you, John, is, what are your goals?

I have a funny feeling that if the GOP and the Tea Party don’t get together and soon the Benghazi Queen (Hitlory Klinton) is going to sneak right by them come 2016.

Boehner is just like every other liberal in that he hates conservatives and the conservative agenda.

No sneaking involved. I expect the Dim nominee to win handily as the GOP-E once again fights any attempt to nominate a conservative candidate harder than they fight the Dims.

Is there enough GOP force to scuttle the deal? Or can the RINOs and DEMs push it through?

Hmm
That’s funny
I have a funny (not ha-ha) feeling that if the GOP and the Tea Party DO waste their efforts trying for no reason to get together that the Queen of Benghazi will run right past them
