So now we suddenly start believing the LSM to accurately report what conservative Republicans say? Did you not read the post where the Rats have decided to run ads featuring Bohener as the boogie man? Do you not think that CBS intentionally misreported this just to get your reaction?

Do you not understand English?

"Rep. Boehner: "Bob, we don't know what the bill's going to say, alright? If the only option I have is to vote for those at 250 and below, of course I'm going to do that. But I'm going to do everything I can to fight to make sure that we extend the current tax rates for all Americans."

That's a direct quote. Please explain to me where I am suddenly believing anyone except the man himself.

I hear these words and decide for myself that this is compromise when we should not be compromising. No "LSM" anybody told me that.

Did I miss the post where Boehner claims he was misquoted? Do you have evidence CBS tampered with the videotape of him saying this?

Get your facts straight before you start lecturing others.

I am at an absolute loss as to how your thought process is working on this. Other quotes or paraphrases from Boehner include the following:

But Boehner, R-Ohio, said that along with all the additional spending approved by Democrats, it is "bad policy" to exclude the job-creating tax brackets in an extension of Bush-era cuts.

"When you start to look at who is going to be taxed, about half of all small-business income will be taxed under the president's proposal. These are the very people that we expect to invest in the economy and to begin creating jobs. Why would we want to punish them?" he asked.

Everything Boehner has said supports the idea that he wants the current tax rates extended for all brackets. If he does not have that option, he will take whatever he can get. I fail to see how that's compromise. If somebody owes you $100 and you can only get $80, would you turn it down? If you're starving and you can only get a few morsels of food, would you turn it down?

He takes what he can get, whenever he can get it. It is the same thing the Rats have done for decades.

LOL. A compromise?

What exactly is Boehner compromising away?

Let's say a thief steals a hundred dollars from you and as he drives away he drops fifty dollars on the floor. Do you pick the fifty dollars up or do you refuse to pick it up because it isn't the full amount?

The Democrats are in the majority. Boehner isn't giving anything away. If the Democrats propose a partial tax reduction, Boehner is saying he will vote for that and then fight for the rest.

There is NO compromise and Boehner isn't "dropping" anything, as the LSM says that he is.
