I think John BONER needs to be shown the door.
There is no opposition party. This is sick.
The GOP is not that stupid. They knew exactly what they were doing. They’re helping to get obama re-elected. All they had to do was say “The democrats and obama say they want a year extension. Come February we will remind them.” Now come February they’ll be the heartless republicans who were taken hostage by the tea party and “tried to raise taxes at Christmas”.
As I said on another post when, Romney gets beaten by obama the story will be “Tea Party Extremist Voters Stayed Home”. And that will be the story whether they stay home or not.
And by helping the democrats keep control of the senate all the 2010 elections did was give obama someone to blame for these hard economic times: The House!
I’ll repeat. The GOP leadership is not that stupid. I won’t be drinking anymore of their cool aid.
