Just how inept is Boehner?

[rightwinger]

At a time when real leadership is called for Boehner wastes precious time on a useless Tea Bagger bill that has no hope of passing.

How many political stunts is he going to pull? Is he that far in the Tea Party pocket? When the political solution calls for compromise, the Republicans move in the opposite direction

The balanced budget amendment is a sham. The votes are never going to be there. Two thirds majority in both houses is needed to pass BBA. It will NEVER happen. Why waste time on this silliness?

Oh I see, so for the last 2 days he was a weak jerk whose house was blowing up becasue he couldn't get a bill passed now hes a jerk again...you people really need therapy I swear to god.

Boehner (god I hope he's the next sex scandal!) is not a right-wing Tea Bagger nut. Not normally. But I think it would be extremely embarrassing to him if he couldn't get their support. In an election year, the whole party would look ridiculous if they couldn't agree on something. He can't tell them to fuck off but he can't move to the left without risking the party's face. So he's stuck.

The RATING AGENCIES SUPPORT THE TEA PARTY APPROACH as a "good start". The status quo is a dead-end. Medicare is over in 2017 and the stupid dems don't get it. Fix entitlements or they are gone.

If the US rating falls then we pay twice as much in interest on the Debt. Get behind Boehner and start getting serious about cutting spending.

Inept? Speaker of the House, estimated net worth of $2.1 million.


You?

As long as he doesn't carry that (D) by his name, there's nothing he can do to mollify any of them.

Then again, seems that nothing es ever good enough for spoiled rotten little children.....So it would seem that party affiliation is the best excuse they can come up with.

how about the DEMOCRATS put one up? eh? what a novel idea...


yes Reid just tabled the bill 59-41, so they say they will use it as a blueprint..wow you mean the dem senate will actually put something on paper?

 

[Steelplate]

I actually have no problem with Boehner. He knows what the deal is. Probably his biggest mistake was to egg the Tea Party on after Obama was elected... but I am not sure that was necessarily his decision, it could have been the Republican Caucus looking for a way to recover from 2008. In that respect, he got what he asked for. People that he can't work with. He might as well still have a Democratic majority, because if there's anything even remotely Moderate, but GOP leaning... he won't get Dem OR Tea Party votes.

Tough place to be as Speaker of the House... much like Reid was in the Senate, Boehner is stuck in the House. He needs votes, but he can't get them... not because of the Dems... but because of his own party.... How fucked up is that?

 

[kyzr]

BO & Reid better cave or its a DEPRESSION that happened on their watch. Inexcusable. BO had a deal and blew it with a $400b revenue demand. Bet that 1st deal w/Boehner looks good now.

It can be argued that the Speaker could only play the cards dealt him by the voters. If the voters had been more circumspect and responsible and sent reasonable, rational representatives to Congress interested in good, sound governance, then Boehner would be able to craft more meaningful legislation that could pass the Senate and receive the president’s signature.

Unfortunately for Boehner and the nation he must try to govern with a contingent of radical rightwing partisan ideologues more concerned about adhering blindly to dogma than doing what’s best for the Nation.

Compromise would be $500 billion in cuts this year in exchange for raising the debt ceiling. What you want is capitulation. Boehner has already gone too far in that direction. It's time for the Dims to put their cards on the table and Republicans to shout "dead on arrival."

Credit-Rating Agencies' Threat To Downgrade U.S. Debt Could Be A Bluff

The problem is... Debt doesn't have to be paid all at once. That's what the extremists don't get. The simple truth is... both sides want to reduce the debt. Dems are asking for shared sacrifice across the board. The GOP wants to lay it entirely on the Middle and Working Class. They won't even accept the TOKEN revenue increases that Obama talked about.. eliminating the corporate jet tax credit... C'mon... all he was looking for was a small bone... but the TEA PARTY was/is too stubborn to see it. It's inexperience and a ridiculous ideology that is the problem.

You honestly think I am not worth over $2.1 million? Boehner is a slacker

Unfortunately for Boehner and the nation as a whole, the voters returned too many Democrats to Congress.

The idea that Obama, Reid and Pelosi aren't ideologues doesn't pass the smirk test.

bet those corporate jet tax credits look pretty damned good to the GOP too. It was a token offer that would have been a huge win for the GOP and a "save face" maneuver for the Dems... and your side was too stubborn and stupid to take it.

Right now... I say invoke the 14th and save the country. Re-election be damned.

Boehner bill has crashed and burned in the Senate

His inept leadership is leading the country to a default, stock market crash and downgrading of our credit

Until Boehner learns what compromise is....he will lead this country to ruin

In order for a compromise to happen BOTH sides need to present a plan.
