Boehner gets far too much respect on FR IMO.
He’s s slithery snake who should be replaced in the next Congress.
(Though I very much doubt that will happen.)
The trouble with tax raising agreements is that they usually rely on cutting spending in the future and raising taxes today. While today’s Congress has control over today’s spending, it does not control a future Congress, which is autonomous and free to ignore an agreement from today’s Congress.
If more tea partiers get elected in this cycle....he just might be out as leader. I don’t care if he gets re-elected (Not sure but I think he was challenged but won in the primary), I just don’t want him for leader anymore.
Oh, I agree. He’s fine for his district, just a disaster anywhere in the leadership.
Nuff said!
In the article they talk about Cantor and the tea Party.......I think he might be the likely successor.
He was doing what conservatives generally want, yet still people use this dumb rhetoric.
He just occasionaly misplaces it.....
Too bad. Cantor strikes me as more of a snake than Boehner, though he’s at least playing it a little closer to tea party positions.
Much of the press acts like they're intellectuals - but they 'coincidentally' come up with the same lines at the same time. A group-think. And attitude - heave on 'style' ... A group-think that's transparent.
Are the real thinkers behind their words working at dem PR Firms - like the one James Carville runs? Is the press being fed?
The food chain: dem PR firm to the New York Times to newspapers to TV pretty heads? Eight people in the United States doing the thinking on that side? How long until the press has to use teleprompters too? Not even empty suits anymore - empty minds.
I'm starting to feel Woodward’s a force to be reckoned with .. The real deal - a liberal intellectual. Aren't many of 'em left anymore.

Nope...just Media Matters.
