I agree, Speaker Boehner’s answer is right on target.
Speaker Boehner shows more maturity than some people here on FR give him credit for. It is bad enough that you have the continuous lies by the Dems and the Press. Why should we also get criticism from our own. When you all say he needs to grow a spine, I suggest you check your own back.
Agreed. He got a sequester, he protected us from a tax hike, he blocked gun control, now he's standing for a shutdown.
I don't think he deserves the criticism he gets from those who destroy their own.
I think what the Tea Party folks have been going through has finally dawned on Boehner now that he is the new favorite target - which he is dealing with quite well.
The battle cry of the Tea Party is that we demand our place at the table and to be heard. Boehner now knows what it is like to make that demand and have it fall on deaf ears.
You're watching a man have an epiphany here and as such, I think we might actually be seeing a real leader being born.
