[From The Deer Stand]

Ya know Boehner, you just don’t want to upset the Democrats, do you?

[montag813]

Boehner would clearly like to make this problem go away for at least the next year. But if the Democrats won’t pony up the cuts needed to offset the cost of this extension, the stage is set for precisely the type of media narrative which serves them best.

Which is why Paul Ryan was such a bonehead for ditching the sequestration that was working so well without any political cost. Idiot. And to think the douche was our VP nominee.

It will get extended. Everyone in D.C. knows what the real unemployment is (around 17.9%). The seasonal jobs are done as of next week. They know the unemployment numbers are going to have another 1.5 million jobless added on the low end to the current numbers.

Snap benefit increases will happen as well. I wouldn’t be surprised to see the stock market go down as well come March or April with a big correction coming and then that little gift called Obamacare. Yep...they either hand over the cash now and prevent the riots and crime rates from sky rocketing and save their jobs and bad press a little bit longer or they will face hell on Earth come November from all directions.

GOP always take the lazy route out. Instead of trying to argue and educate American public about why something is bad policy

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Progressive Republicans like Boehner are always open to anything except obeying the Constitution.

[Doc Savage]

I’m OPEN to something for Boner, but the police tend to arrest you for that……………..

[Secret Agent Man]

again, boner must lose his seat and speakership.

[capydick]

Never with unemployment like this have we even considered not extending them

Unemployment like what? I thought it was improving? Oh - maybe he means those people who don't get counted anymore?

If Boner and McConnell had any balls - they would agree to the extension provided that those unemployed people who are no longer counted - get added to the next official unemployment rate.

But we know these eunuchs would never consider such a strategy.

[Deagle]

Republicans are open to all things that the Democrats propose as long as the Media supports them so...just how are the Republicans different from the Democrats? Beats me!

[Cringing Negativism Network]

How about rather than unemployment, Boehner works on bringing back American jobs?

Hmm?

[Lazamataz]

You know, John, giving in to every one of the whackiest liberal demands JUST ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH.

You need to SHOW INITIATIVE!

Toss in a complete gun ban, and a seizure of all American real estate in private hands, and maybe Obama WON'T release your records.

But you better get PROACTIVE, bubula, or it's to NBC with your documents!

"Boehner “open” to extending unemployment benefits

Extending the obama depression.
