When you lose, you lose. Boehner is in an impossible political situation. No matter what he does, Obama and the media will portray the house Republicans for driving the country over (the new clever catchphrase) the dreaded fiscal cliff. Fact is this economic story can’t possibly end well. Monumental debt, endless entitlements, deficits both state and federal,dollar printing and unfunded liabilities as well as further economic contraction as Obama unleashes his dreaded anti capitalist EPA. Boehner probably should just get out of the way and let the Obama clown parade go over the cliff themselves. There is really almost nothing he can do.
It doesn’t matter what Boehner does there are not enough people to tax to keep us from going over the cliff. I say the sooner the better. Its going to take a mega disaster to get this country back. The ballot box is not going to work.
you have a valid point but there is a lot he can do....i don’t blame him for making this statement and he did stand firm on the tax deal that did not go down a year or so ago...
i don’t like Boehner but i’ll wait and see what the “deal” is before passing judgement...
Bullshit. Boehner didn't lose. Republicans won the House for another two years and Boehner runs it until we can get rid of him. The House is a co-equal branch of the U.S. government. He should say Republicans continue to be willing to work with dems if they will work with us. Then the House should dig in their heels and agree to nothing Obama wants. Obstruction is the only card we have and it must be played.
“Obama and the media will portray... “
Blah, blah, blah.
F*** the GD media. It’s time to reason with these traitor pigs in dark parking lots with no witnesses around.
Boner should act like a man for one time in his life. This country will not survive. So Boner should give it his all as he goes down. Simply do nothing and that’s giving obama and the dems everything they asked for. And I don’t care who gets blamed.
