fool.
You just fought a campaign. You lost two big battles. (Senate and Presidency). Yet you still have an intact army with some of your best young troops itching for a fight. Pity they are commanded by a weepy fellow who instead of retreating to high tactical ground in order deliver a definitive counter stroke, he meekly surrenders without a fight.
Is Boehner willing to crown Obama king? That seems to be the only thing left to do.
Sometimes you just have to wonder, what does Obama have on these guys?
Is this guy completely incompetent? Don’t answer that - I already know the answer.
He is offering to give away his biggest leverage to get nothing in return. Not only that, but he is enabling another couple of trillion in debt. For what???
HE HAS GOT TO GO!!!
Since no matter what you do, you are damned if you do damned if you don't.... do what is right or get the hell out of the way.
I have probably voted for my last time.
Is it possible to get rid of this slime? Like, stat? Recall?
Boehner is a cowardly piece of work.
Bye bye Miss American Pie......
Could we please get a LEADER, that the lib’s don’t have blackmail pictures of?!?!?
Never in the history of mankind has the fate of so many rested upon the fortitude of so few...
Weaper of the House = Cheap suit folded!
I really hate the GOP
The Republic was lost long before Boehner offered to push the debt limit fight off for another year.
Obama has won twice now. He RAN on raising taxes AND spending gobs of money we don't have. The public approve of him. Worse, the public not only like him, they WANT to continue to like him and give him every benefit of the doubt. The American public is primed to blame Republicans if their taxes go up, and all the GOP feels it can really do now is avoid a catastrophic political defeat. The American people are simply NOT with us.
Yes, we have the House. Some take solace in that. The ugly truth is we held that purely due to gerrymandering. More people voted for a Democratic House candidate than a Republican one - by over a million votes.
We've likely already crossed the tipping point. There are just too many takers and non producers voting themselves more freebies. Our immigrants don't care about this country by and large, and simply vote for the socialist candidates they voted for back home (Mexico mostly).
So no, Boehner isn't the main problem. He's not charismatic and not persuasive, but it is unlikely anyone else could take over and do much better at this particular point in time. The problem is, the public agrees with Obama and the Democrats more than us. There is not a silent majority of traditional Americans out there ready to rise up and save the republic. That time has passed. We are a European social welfare state now, and will likely follow Greece's path down the crapper.
Hey...as long as Boehner’s golf handicap is still in the single digits... everything is fine. Puke.
Johnny Bendover. The leader for losers!
The House conservatives will not allow this to pass. Boehner could not possibly have the votes. He will lose his Speakership.
His ass has to be so sore he may never sit down again.
Only slightly off-topic -
Any doubt in anyone’s mind on how Boehner will treat any 2nd Amendment bill the Dems lay on his desk?
I have no doubt at all.
