Republicans always talk like this just before they cave. Its taught in the Intro to GOP 101 course.... When you are about to cave on a major issue, get in front of the TV cameras and loudly proclaim that this issue is not negotiable. Then tomorrow quietly give in to all the demands of the Democratic party.

GOP - Give it Over Peacefully
I’m not saying Boehner is an alcoholic, but he certainly behaves like one. Alcoholics talk very big about the things they are ***going*** to do. They never actually deliver, but their talk makes people think they will...up to a point. Eventually people catch on to the pattern, however. If Boehner follows through this time, then I am wrong. If he holds to the pattern he’s established so far, then I would start to worry about his health, mental and physical.
