The bawling boozer has no fire in his belly to fight and WIN. He would rather cave in, and protect his turf.

Damn Boehner and all who caved with him.

Get rid of him, and those who follow him.

It was never going to be easy..we knew that. Stay the course and get rid of these rino’s one by one. And replace them with conservatives, one by one. It is a never ending battle..remember Washington lost many a battle of one kind or another...until he won the war.

Boehner is a clueless wussy who gets rolled every time he ‘negotiates’.

And even the media BS (even of FOX) saying Tea Partiers are OK with Boehner caving.

Prediction for upcoming 2012 budget battle:

Republicans propose 6.2 Trillion cuts in Cantors 2012 budget, democrats counteroffer with 6.2 Million in cuts. Boehner caves and says that's close enough.

The GOP got $40 billion in cuts, which is going to enrage the Left.

And Reid folded on the riders. He will lose the vote in the Senate on both EPA and PP.

Victory. Important for the GOP to gain its legs b4 the debt ceiling debate.

This is hugh

To date, the women have had the spine.

And the testicles too, unfortunately.

Sorry, but, you are wrong. Spending bills originate in the House, but, also must pass the Senate and be signed by the president.

Know your government and how it works.

This is true, but he is an inefficient negotiator. I truly believe that he led Reid and the libs on a ride that they probably did have a deal earlier, only to be saved by his aides who reminded him it was political suicide.

Watch on RollCall how the House vote goes once the details of the agreement are in.

The only way to accomplish defunding Planned Parenthood is to remove its patrons from the Senate and White House in 2012.

LOL!!!

Where have I heard this before? And how many times have I heard this before? Total nonsense, and total BS.

Either we shut down the government on our own, or we submit to their authority. In 2012, the same old story, same old song and dance. The ballot box will no longer ever be the answer to salvaging what is left of our freedoms in this country, IMO.

Since I'm of the opinion their are not enough patriots left in this country ready, willing and able to sacrifice everything to set us back on the course to prosperity, we have to come to terms with our lack of willingness to do what is necessary to put a stop to the abomination known as the Federal Government.

We are willingly allowing ourselves to be enslaved by the Federal Government.

If someone doesn’t make HUGE cuts then there will be no way out of the mess. Our country is already basically bankrupt. Every expert out there predicts disaster if we don’t figure this out - yet the politicians seem blind to their spending addiction.

This has been nothing but a game over the last few days - for both sides.

What a bunch of drama queens. Yeesh.

Washington at its best.

Oh God, now Skippy and TOTUS are on TV, and he’s thumping his hands on the podium where it’s being picked up loud and clear by the mics.

And he pulled the Washington Monument gambit. Lame and manipulative.

When’s he going to bring up little Sally Muckenfutch and the effect the shutdown would have had on her?

“Women’s health” = federally funded abortions
“Protecting our air and water” = regulating businesses and citizens to death

Feh.

Yes i hear separate votes for pp and obamacare will happen in the senate. this makes me feel a little less badly.

these votes will definitely provide material for nov ‘12 and may even bare some fruit - not likely but... it is more for our movement in the senate in 12.
