I can't analyze the energy Beohner has expended in all the different things he does. But I do know that he did hold down spending in the last 2 debt fights and he is speaking out against most of the proposals (spending) in this jobs bill. Boehner knows that spending is not going to be cut dramatically until we get the Senate and WH. He will never be able to do it with just one chamber. That's just facts.
Oh puhleeeeeeeeeze. Who just farted? We are at record levels of spending and it's still getting LARGER! And Boehner is right in the thick of the spending increases!
The Republicans have had a President with a majority in the House and the Senate. I don't believe for one second that if we get another Republican President and get a majority in the House and the Senate that there will be any meaningful cuts in spending or the size of Government. I see no proof that Boehner has ever worked hard to bring any of these things about. You're beginning to sound hopey changey about Boehner without showing a solid track record that he will change anything meaningfully. He has one last chance to calm the conservatives down, and I think he will blow it.
