Of course the kenyan wants to go over the cliff. He gets his defense cuts and then can ride to the rescue with the Obama tax cuts. Only a dupe would think otherwise.
I think Boehner knows it. But he is desperate for a deal that includes some goodies for his K Street buddies.
This article is just unsanitary from a journalistic point of view. Boehner was “quoted†on what he is intended/suppose to say lol. If this is journalism/hard news story, should the journalistic profession be considered total fiction now (Rhetorical I guess since facts have been pushed aside for ideology for decades with Duranty paving the mainstream way).
“THe whole reason the Bush tax cuts are expiring is because we were too numerically weak in the Congress back then to pass tax cuts that did not expire”
And rememember why we were numerically weak: John McCain, Arlen Specter, Mike DeWine, George Voinovich and probably the sisters from Maine but I can’t remember.
These rates could have been made permanent years ago but the moderates just couldn’t abide them. I’m not forgetting and won’t vote for any more moderates. I left Scott Brown’s office blank on my ballot last month and will again should he be the nominee to fill Kerry’s seat.

Boehner Plays Santa With Major Concessions To Dems
Posted 12/17/2012 07:12 PM ET
Budget Policy: In this season of giving, no one’s been more generous than John Boehner. Three times in fiscal cliff talks, he has offered Democrats more — only to get nothing in return. He really gives till it hurts.
so much for the party of smaller government and less taxes for everyone.
the GOP(e) is dead. someone pull the plug.
The house should just pass a bill that can pass, and is acceptable to the House.
They have that authority.
let the Dems in the Senate and WH not act on it, or pass it.
JUST DO YOUR JOB, Boehner - and let the Democrats worry about theirs. You do no have to do their job for them.

Fiscal Cliff: Boehner Capitulates on Core Conservative Principles
From Heritage Foundation’s Morning Bell -
House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Republican leaders have done it once again. Their latest fiscal cliff proposal capitulates on core conservative principles, yielding woefully inadequate concessions from President Obama in the process. Will they ever learn?
