It might be like that freeper defending him said "Maybe no one will oppose him". Being Os bitch is not a rewarding job.
RE :”If Boehner thinks amnesty is such a great move for the GOP, why would he wait? Maybe because the GOP would have a smaller majority in the House next year? After the Dems took over congress, didn't didn't GWB say he could get things done now? “
That example is not a good one to use to argue a lame Duck push. If anything Bohner would have better luck next year with that with 6 more Dems.
Its a pretty ugly situation now but that is what delusion and fantasy gets a party. “We are winning. Romney will win big. Most Americans are conservatives and will vote Republican. Congress will impeach O ” wishes do not make reality change,.
If Republicans don't reality check and come up with real ideas that they know how to sell voters, and learn how to fight smart, then 2008 to 2012 will be the standard. Big losses with an occasional mid-term win.
Yes I know. My point was that he would have better luck with more Dems (unless he was removed as speaker)! I am not predicting which way it will happen, but if it failed in the lame duck I don't think they would give up. Waiting until the GOP gets weaker to do what one wants does seem to be an MO for GOP traitors.
They are doing a remake of the 1984 film Red Dawn about commies invading the USA. In the 1984 version, the commie commander, Col. Ernesto Bella says about the traitorous USA mayor, with a sarcastic laugh, "This community is indeed fortunate to have a shepherd like him!"
