Boehner backs down, says House to vote on 'clean' debt-limit hike

WASHINGTON – House Speaker John Boehner, in an abrupt shift, announced Tuesday that the House would vote on an increase in the nation's borrowing cap without any strings attached.

A senior House GOP leadership source told Fox News that the vote is expected Tuesday night.

Boehner's decision to proceed with a "clean" debt-ceiling bill amounts to a capitulation by Republicans to President Obama and Capitol Hill Democrats who argued that the GOP should not attempt to use the bill as leverage to extract concessions from the administration.

Whenever the rare opportunity to reduce the size of the Spendaholic Federal Government approaches a decision point, the unchallenged and therefore invincible Obamanation Congressional Format, ( OCF ), unfolds flawlessly as follows:

* Permissive, weak and cowardly Speaker “Doormat” Boehner proclaims that THIS time he will protect and defend the US Constitution;
* “Assistant Doormat” Cantor will nod like the bobble head lap dog that he is;
* Cave-In, Con-Artist Ryan will make a side deal with his Pelosi Pals;
* “Rubberstamp” Reid will then approve whatever the Pelosi Pals have shamed Ryan into ramming through the House;
* Lazy, Anti-Work Obama will say “The OCF worked again! That was sooooo EASY!”
* The Left Stream Media will gently boo Boehner, while mildly applauding his “Bipartisan” Leadership;
* “Doormat” Boehner will then slink off sobbing, relieved that he dodged another major tongue-lashing from the Left Stream Media;
* Karl Rove will go on FOX and say “The Moderate House Republicans are showing that they are willing to work with Obama;”
* Krauthammer will go on FOX and say “Unbelievable;”
* The Conservative voters will say:
*** “Yup, permissive RINOs are no match for the Commies, Socialists and Democrats in Congress.
*** We are doomed to feel sorry for ourselves, again.
*** What shall we do?
*** Sigh - - - - .”

BTW, Boehner, Cantor and Ryan are all heavily favored to win re-election to their well-worn House seats in 2014 - - - - .

Like anyone is surprised.

Bonehead really is taking up a lot of space and consuming a lot of oxygen that could be more useful to someone with a brain and morals.

May he rest deep, deep in the bowels of h*ll, right next to Mohammed.

Boehner might as well steal another Trillion for Soros because they’ll all be sharing a prison cell with ‘president’ Bari Shabazz, son of Malcolm X and ‘Weather Underground’ alum ELIZABETH ANN DUKE (FBI fugitive since 1985).

She skipped bail after getting caught for domestic terrorism, holding forged birth certificates, stolen SSN cards, and equipment to manufacture false ID.

Does that sound familiar?

The voters in Boehner’s Ohio House District vote Boehner into the US House, and the US House Members vote to choose THEIR Speaker.

Weak, cowardly, permissive “Doormat” Boehner thus fairly represents our weak, cowardly, permissive, doormat House RINOs.

The voters in Ohio are simply overjoyed that the US House RINO Members have loyally continued to keep in place a weak, cowardly, permissive, doormat Speaker who has ALWAYS caved in to Obama.

Boehner’s Speakership is safe, as our House RINOs just love to Cave In to Commies, Socialists, Democrats, and especially to Obama.

Oops, I feel a “Boehner” coming on! Please pass the Kleenex! Sob!

Oh, they’ll be shareing something far worse and certainly more permanent than any prison cell. Babylon has a well defined future awaiting it.

Obama is right: “The nice thing about being President is that I can do whatever I want.”

Thank You, GOP Establishment Asshats.

We might want to stop electing ‘lesser evils” because this is what that results in. Every time WE do it.

Just a thought. Discuss amongst yourselves...

This current bunch in the beltway GOP is just not interested in an engaged ideological battle with the Dems. Their timidity shows their true colors. Many are just conservative for pay. There is not a conservative patriotic bone in John Boehner’s body.

They'll do that anyway - if you're gonna do the time, you might as well do the crime.

Maybe he doesn't believe in it?
