I am guessing by the non-response that the Rabbi does not have enough faith in Boehner or the GOP to take the bet?
No. Unlike you I have a business to run so cannot respond to every piece of dreck you post.
Boehner is the leader in the House (or probably will be). He is not the House dictator. Unlike Democrats, Republicans tend to have a mind of their own. Besides, aren't earmarks the American way and all? Isn't that why Nancy didn't end them?
