Boehner supported the bailout, used his position to twist Republican votes into supporting the bailout, and blamed it’s the first failure for passage on fellow Republicans thinking Pelosi was just too mean rather then it being a vote of conservaive principle.
No one’s being unfair to him, he earned this comtempt.
He did NOT support it at first, and demanded that ACORN be removed. He stood up against Bush and said NO, until ACORN was removed. I’m NOT in his district, but I can tell you he is still very well liked, and admired in his district.
