If they don't vote, boner must be gone!

1) Risking an armed conflict with Russia is WAY too high of a price to pay for saving Obama from his own stupidity.

2) Boehner has already declared this a “conscience vote”. To pull a stunt like this and deny that vote as a political move would undermine whatever credibility he has left, if any.

[tennmountainman]

Bonehead must go. Cantor must go. McCarthy must go. McConnell must go.

[firebrand]

So now our burning up the phone lines creates the opposite effect that we wanted? They just decide not to vote on it so they won’t be going against the country and can save their sorry asses?

[Carry_Okie]

Weasels, and typical of the way Congress has punted its fundamental responsibilities over the last hundred years.

The lack of a vote could be interpreted as tacit permission.

[wku man]

Hold a vote (quickly), humiliate the friggin' Commie, repudiate him so thoroughly that the momentum would carry through to a vote to DEFUND OBAMACARE!

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[Third Person]

D.C weaseling... kind of like reconciliation for Obamacare.

[Earthdweller]

"...Obama winning House approval for military action in Syria are so bad they actually doubt the House would ultimately vote on it if failure seemed certain. "

Soo, let me get this straight, the American people get a vote, but only if they intend to agree with the DNC/RNC-e?

Think Progress Website : 40 Yes (-4) - 225 No (+12) - 170 Undeclared/Undecided... With change from yesterday...

[RedWhiteBlue]

If I had my wish, they would vote it down by a wide margin while Obama was still in the middle of the G20.

[Sequoyah101]

If bonehead does not have the votes to do what obastard wants to do he will cancel the vote. WHY?

So obastard can go ahead and do what he wants to do anyway and be in the clear because congress did not rule against him. No vote, no defiance. obastard is not asking for permission he is demanding agreement.

[newnhdad]

I never thought they would. Pretty soon, Obama is going to distance himself from himself and this will all be a McCain, Boehner idea and Obama was just a victim..

[DBeers]

Humiliate the idiot, VOTE!

It is high time that ALL the useful idiots realize there are 3 EQUAL branches to this LIMITED government and that the Executive is no damn emperor!

[SoFloFreeper]

No, let the people’s representatives VOTE.

[ThomasMore]

I’m tired of the “NO” vote. I’m tired of the “here” and “present” vote. I voted for these politicians to make decisions. Not sit on their ass and do nothing.

It should be made illegal for anything other than a “yes” or “No” vote.

If Congress says 'no', think Obungle will abide by it? He tends to double down when told he can't/shouldn't do something. A particularly thin-skinned narcissist who has managed to smear egg on his pwn face and who throws petulant temper tantrums at the drop of a hat if he doesn't get his way. is likely to be really, really upset if he's told 'no'. He doesn't not have America's best interests at heart, only his own. Here's a different point of view on why maybe you don't want a vote:

If Congress won’t punish Obama for defying it on Syria, they should refuse to vote

[keat]

Just throwing it out there but, considering Obama has ZERO allies on this and is doomed to certain failure, why not give him his yes vote and watch him twist in the wind.

There is no way in hell he will proceed with any meaningful exercise. He doesn’t have the balls.

On the other hand, he could lob a half-a-billion bucks in Tomahawks on empty targets and sit back while the MSM treats him like the second coming of Alexander the Great.

[Cheerio]

Boner and his ilk do not want to be blamed for EMBARASSING our great young boy king, so just don't bring it up for a vote.

Want to place a bet Boner will not see it that way when comprehensive amnesty bill surfaces?

[CMB_polarization]

I’m still waiting for some of Mother Pelosi’s famous sweeteners to be offered.

[sunrise_sunset]

Our Lords have decided the matter, now shut up.

[clintonh8r]

Goddamn cowards. By all means, you pussies, don't humiliate the president. That's his job!
