I don’t have time to read every news story on this, but didn’t Boehner just “throw down the gauntlet” on the debt ceiling, like TPer’s wanted? Didn’t he just call for trillions in cuts? What am I missing?

All who are outraged by the growing debt and insane government spending must make their voices heard in Washington DC.

Burn up the phone lines.

Leep them busy.

Send emails, telegrams and letters.

Boehner always “calls for” but doesn’t fight to the end. Yes, Boehner supporters are missing something (made of brass).

Warning that”... “RINOs... start responding to what voters want, or else....”

There is no more time, there is no more wiggle room, we have no more patience and NO ONE'S hide is sacred.

The music stopped, the dream is over and the spell is broken.! No more 'creative politics' will be tolerated. DO what you were sent to do or expect to be voted OUT!

He also said it would be irresponsible to not raise the limit.

So put the two things together. "I'm going to be tough and you'd better bring me serious cuts or else! Of course, it would be irresponsible to not raise the limit so of course we'll do it in the end." Now you're Obama, which part of that do you pay attention to?

Yes, he did that, but he did something similar in the recent budget battle and then backed up as soon a it got hot in the kitchen. He has no nads for a fight.

We can all agree with the Tea Party assessment that arrogance and Elitism is alive and well in DC amongst the GOP. The message sent last November definitely was not heard as evidenced by Boehner et al. and their actions. There is definitely a need for spine, guts, and patriotism.

We The People are being ignored but once again. November 2012 is fast approaching; now is the time we work together to ensure that we correct the mistakes sent to DC last November.

The tea partiers take legitimate credit for much of the upheaval in the 2008 congressional election...

2008?

What Boehner needs to understand is, if you are going to vote like a Bolshecrat we don’t need you.

“Boehner has been a surrenderist, if that’s a word...”

Try “quisling”.

Trillions in cuts while STILL raising the debt limit is what I heard. It should be trillions cut and the debt limit is NOT raised.

He also called for 100 billion dollars in spending cuts a while back. You know, the cuts that came to 300 something million? What Boehner says, and what Boehner does [except crying], are two different things. When his actions meet his words, I’ll take another look at him. Right now, he’s just a politician of the JANUS stripe.

“What Boehner needs to understand is, if you are going to vote like a Bolshecrat we don’t need you.”

I like that! The Bolshecrat and Menshican parties! Two lefts do indeed make a wrong.

To that end, Temple said, "We oppose more debt. But, because I know our people very well, I think it's safe to say that the tea party movement as a whole might possibly forgive Boehner and the House Republicans a bump in the debt ceiling if:

This is why the Tea Party isn't going anywhere. After a lot of tough talk this "leader" says his opposes more debt, period. Except if he gets a few goodies and some worthless promises from the Republicrat/Dumbocans. No wonder the country is going down the tubes.

When I call, I’m going to mention that Speaker of the House Tom Foley was quite shocked to be defeated in ‘94 and the ever concerned Tom Daschle was also shocked to find the Senate Majority Leader could be tossed in ‘04.

I’m going to be polite and say that we usually like what Speaker Boehner starts out saying, but then he always caves. If he caves on the debt ceiling, it’s pretty much a certainty that he’ll be primaried in ‘12.

After the 2010 huge landslide in the house, republicans allowed the lame duck democrats to have the most productive lame duck session in history.

They made Boehner and the republicans look like the political weaklings they really are.

Bonehead doesn't have the slightest idea what he has done. He tries to backpedal on things but he is the height of stupidity. Definitely a RINO.

What am I missing?

The follow-up months from now where he rolls over on his back, piddles himself, then starts licking Obama's hand.
