"When you criticize something and you have no idea what you’re criticizing, you’ve lost your credibility," Boehner told reporters on Capitol Hill.

But when you need to vote for it before you can see what's in it, that's politics as usual.

Does Boehner ever talk this way about Democrats or liberals?

Boner has primary opponents. Eric Gurr is one and he could use some help against Boner and his cohorts of K Street leeches and all their dough.

When you are the Republican Speaker of the House, and there are “outside conservative groups”, you have lost all credibility.

Exactly

" When you criticize something and you have no idea what you’re criticizing, LIKE I'M DOING NOW TO YOU AMERICANS, you’ve lost your credibility," Boehner told reporters on Capitol Hill.

Why should anyone be surprised except Gomer Pyle?

Just read my tag line. Once you read and understand that then what he says and does makes complete sense.

The inevitable war between establishment Republicans who love big government and crony capitalism but want to be the one’s running it and conservative Republicans who see the disaster America is bringing on it’s citizens by following utterly failed socialist policies is starting and John Boehner is firing the first shot at the conservatives that he despises.

Never. These GOP-e guys are mighty brave tough guys when it comes to Conservatives, but are scared little mice-men when they face any Democrats.

Triangulation: the GOPe wants to get ‘moderates’ approval and anger conservatives to get out and vote too.

It’s be an OK plan if they weren’t spending us into oblivion with their legislation.

Headline should read: “Boehner announces that he will NOT run for re-election in 2014.”
