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?
Just because it doesn't have the votes doesn't make it a sham.
Not enough politicians have the guts to cut the shit and do the right thing. That's what it is.
It doesn't matter a toss if the votes aren't there. It's the right thing to do.
As for Boehner, he thinks he's doing the right thing, or says he is, but I think he should be kicking Obama in the balls, not buttering the prick up to stay in his good graces.
