"They're using our members and they're using the American people for their own goals," an animated Boehner told reporters at the Capitol. "This is ridiculous.".....In remarks on the Senate floor praising the new budget framework, Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., suggested he planned to bring up an unemployment benefits bill and minimum wage increase to the floor in January.

Lashes out? With what...his purse?
I.... Don’t believe I’ve ever seen Boehner animated. In fact, I think this is the first time I’ve even seen him DESCRIBED as animated.
Figures he’d find his mojo to fight the party’s base.
It is almost like the Regime is holding Boehner’s daughter hostage in some Rastafarian rape room. I just don’t understand the decisions these guys are making.
If there's a government shutdown now, all the gains Repubs have made because of Obamacare will disappear - poof!
As long as this agreement is not too bad, ie., no tax increases, modest spending reductions, etc., and it passes, there won't be a shutdown.
Then the Repubs will win in 2014, both the House and the Senate.
I say, let this agreement pass, defeat the Dems, then go to work with both majorities after 2014.
If the Repubs screw it up now, and get blamed for a shutdown, the Dems will end up controlling both the House and Senate.
No, it’s a $45 billion spending increase.
If it were neutral or even only a few millions increase it would be acceptable for the reasons you stated.
Jaw-droppingly disappointing.
The only thing that is of the slightest interest to me is an immediate $1.2 trillion dollar spending cut.
Anything else, I don’t want to hear about, because it just aggravates me to no purpose.
I would not ever vote for anyone who supports any Federal spending in excess of revenues (currently about $2.2 trillion).
Are you out of your mind?
This "deal" increases spending by $45 billion immediately, and sets a precedent that BOTH parties believe that spending has to increase, year after year.
I’m done with the GOP. They are no better than Dems. At least the Dems lie to us with a straight face and make no bones about their wanting expansion of government.
The GOP lies to us with a wink and nod.
I hope they are destroyed in 2014 and 2016. More like Boehner, Cantor, et al and we’d probably be better off with Dems.
I’m usually in the minority on this thinking (I’m not a very compassionate man when it comes to blithering idiots that can affect my life):
I hope Boehner and his entire family suffer horrible deaths and rot in hell.
Sorry “turn the other cheek” Christians - evil is evil and needs to be destroyed at all cost.
Flame away, I’m a big boy.
Beltway GOPe consultant talking point! Most of us can focus on more than one thing at a time.
Republicans will face intense pressure over unemployment benefits

[snip] The imminent expiration of the Emergency Unemployment Compensation program for 1.3 million Americans is mostly being treated as a fait accompli in Washington... (Dems have created an interactive map showing how many people in each state stand to lose benefits.)... This strategy includes placing Op ed pieces by Democrats in papers that serve the districts of top Republicans, such as this one by Rep. Sander Levin in the Cleveland Plain-Dealer, the largest paper in John Boehner’s home state. The game plan is granular: One Democrat points out to me that stats are available on how many would lose benefits on the county level, and that Dems are trying to push these numbers into the coverage, because it is tangible for people in local communities.

Should one be tempted to make improper use of the GOP’s members, expect an animated Boehner lashing.
I think he knows he’s gone come Election Day.... Bye !

Seriously, I know that Alex Jones is a verboten subject ‘round here but he has a good theory that when people get into power they are blackmailed into having sex with children or something and that is taped so they can control them somehow by holding the footage over their heads or something....
Alex was blathering on about something like that today... and you know what that seems to explain why people who get power in Washington at a certain point get “married to” the corrupt power machine inside...
It is almost like they get “assimilated by the borg” so to speak, but the borg is the bureaucracy...
He certainly makes you think. I think he is spot on in some of his analysis but way off on other parts.
IF ANY HOUSE REPUBLICAN IS READING THIS PLEASE GET RID OF BOEHNER.
HIS IS THE HEAD OF THE PROBLEM WITH THE GOP
Nah .... there are many, many leashes from the GOP/RNC back to the Fortune 500. They've got Boehners stacked seven deep.
