Here's one piece of GOPe philosophy from Speaker Boehner on CBS this morning:

"It takes courage to do what you can do"...."it doesn't for those things you can not do."

Ask Ted Cruz about that. Boehner's view of what can and can not be accomplished is the issue here and fatal flaw with this party.

I see Boehner as wrong on his view of courage. Doing what can be done is the first consideration of taking on any job. CAN DO is a slogan to move things along. Who campaigns on CAN'T DO? When Boehner admits that there are things that he and other elected representatives cannot do, he is admitting a higher force is superior to the voters and is pulling the strings of those we elect. Boehner stayed too late at the party. He lacked the courage to even do what he perceived to be possible. Good riddance.
