Boner squeaks


                                     
Mitigating the Suck
                                

We have met the enemy and he is us                  







This morning, major news headlines from multiple outlets contained the Republican Leadership’s talking point. Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) had it in the bag, there would be not even twenty votes against him, and because of that he could now permanently ignore the paper tiger that is the conservative base of the party.

Instead, just as I predicted filling in for Rush Limbaugh on December 26th, there were twenty-five votes against Boehner. Others caved, but will not want to be ignored. The Republican Leadership woke up this morning thinking that they had just wetted a conservative paper tiger. Instead, they realized it remains a force to be reckoned with in the House, with numbers greater than they thought, and the base that trained the tiger is now even more pissed off.

Happy governing. Conservatives, slowly but surely, continue to mitigate the suck. [full]

Rep Andy Harris, Maryland's lone congressional  Republicanswept into office riding the Tea-Party wavevoted with Boehner. Whatever excuses he may have are meaningless because the man has no integrity.   Can't say I'm surprised though.  People over the age of 7 who lie about important things are liars. Always.

There is going to be a very severe price to pay on this betrayal. If they think 3-4 million sit at home republicans was bad for Mitt, they haven't seen anything yet.
