REMEMBER when our fearless leader, former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, started playing cozy with Dems, especially Bill Clinton? REMEMBER how confusing and disappointing that was? Why? MUCH later it became very clear that he was seriously involved sexually with a staffer and it was widely known. Our own yellow dog democrat knew it and so did they all. It made him vulnerable, a co-conspirator of Clinton, and totally discredited as representative of the conservative values voters. But it made him amenable to cooperation with the left.
The only thing that makes sense of the way Boehner is behaving is that there is something they are holding over his head. Or that he is an alcoholic, or lazy or a RINO, or not the sharpest knife in the drawer or maybe he has a few loose screws.
Maybe that's what they do. They quietly let them know what kind crap they dug up, threaten to ruin them and then while playing golf make their gangster deals.
