RUSH: Well, a lot of people are concerned that you are his lifeline to reelection and that that’s how he sees you, and that if he can get you to act in any way that can be portrayed as a cave that he wins, and that’s what people are deathly afraid of.
SPEAKER BOEHNER: Rush, I’m trying to do what I taught my kids to do; the same thing my parents taught me to do: You do the right things for the right reasons, good things will happen.
I call BULL$HIT!
I call it too.
It would be nice if Boehner’s believed “right” reasons were in fact “RIGHT” as in correct.
The problem here is that there is a false premise, which he is clearly being misled by. It is NOT a default on our credit rating. Our credit rating is already heading down— and it is because of the the overthetop debt ceiling raising, brought on by over spending with money we must then borrow.
Cut Cap and Balance is quite acceptable to Moody’s and S&P, and this should be our support. Boehner has agreed to something already, and he already knows it is wrong.
Yes, that was a non-answer, to cover his “my backup plan is to cave” plan.
Anyone who wears “I am a geeky wimp” shorts to a high powered, political golf game is just SO out of his depth.
