While I hate the weepy episodes and what appears to be too much openness to temporary compromise or deferral of the necessary fight, I think Rep. Hoekstra's point is that Speaker Boehner is fighting the good fight.
EXACTLY. So many arm-chair leaders here have no idea what they're talking about. It's pathetically easy to post how tough one would or should be. Boehner is the one who's out there doing the actual fighting. Yes, he works for us, but that doesn't mean we know better than he how to win the war.
