Boehner did this same Fait Accompli type of deal last year, waiting until the TEA party freshmen were away on Christmas break to ram it through, with no dissent allowed. He's now in Pelosi territory.

Am I out of line in wondering if blackmail has gotten to him

This action by Boehner makes me more certain his RINO loyalties are to the other side.

He, and his RINO team are agents of the Left IMO whose purpose is presenting an illusion of a two party system when in reality the Left has consumed the GOP leadership positions as they did the entire of the Democrat Party. This would be why the purge of the TEA Party Conservatives from the committees recently as well.

Either the RINO’s are stealth agents of the Left, or they have been bought off. Regardless they aren’t to be trusted as our leaders at all. Boehner, and his team of RINO’s are, or should be toast.

Seems to me congratulations are in order to the TEA Party members who held to their principles, and forced the Leftist leadership to direct their RINO leadership to have to go to the extreme action of purging them from those committees to prevent them from inhibiting their progress thus exposing whom they actually are.

Boehner has got to be defeated.
I'm sick of that RINO !

Sarah Palin said

“We send good conservatives to D.C. to fulfill the promises they made to the electorate,
and yet when they stay true to their word the permanent political class in their own party punishes them,” Palin said in a Facebook comment.
“This won't be forgotten come 2014.
Right now the GOP establishment is more concerned about the opinion of the media and the Georgetown cocktail circuit than they are ‘we the people’ who hired them.
For all this new talk of how the GOP needs a ‘populist movement,’ it would do them good to remember they already have one;
it’s called the Tea Party movement, and it won for them the majority they now enjoy in the House.”

Well said, Sarah ! Right now the GOP establishment is more concerned about the opinion of the media and the Georgetown cocktail circuit than they are

We don’t need/want the lone ranger. We want a new Speaker.

I have occasionally defended Boehner when he has been deliberately misquoted, but at best, he went from disappointment to liability pretty fast.

I don't understand how any - ANY - Republican house member could trust the guy any farther than they could throw him and the excrescense fused to his lips.* OTOH, what happened to Col. West in Florida shows that Boehner has enough fellow losers in the GOP to be anything but an island.

No one in the House cares - and plans should
be made NOW to replace them for good.

They obey Boehner.
They obey Obama.
They follow al Qaeda and the Moslem Brotherhood
and the Marxist coup d’etat against America
and the US Constitution.

Last year around Christmas?? Are you talking about the FICA tax cut feasco or something else?

If I thought he was just trying to stick Obama at the end with no deal then making an (public) offer like this that O refuses could be smart. But who can trust Bohner?

I DO NOT WANT ANY DEAL!
