I just don't get it.
Why is Boehner afraid of being "primaried" by some crazy yokel in his district?
The GOP big money would of course fund Boehner's campaign and not the Tea Partier, since even the Kochs have abandoned the beast they helped to create.
At 74% disapproval, the Republicans aren't fooling any of us. Just the Tea Party.
We all know that John Boehner and the Republicans went home tonight, announcing there would be no votes on anything. Why? Because Democrats and Republicans have the votes to re-open the government and pay our bills on time instead of refusing to pay. And the Tea Party hates that there are the votes, so the threat is on Boehner to either not put the Clean CR up to a vote if he hopes to want to not face a TP challenge.
We know that Republicans rigged the House two weeks ago so that nothing could be put forward, and they keep wasting all our time trying to convince us they're the good guys here, when it's clear to everyone they're fully responsible for this because they're too afraid to tell their spoiled children NO! Shut up and siddown! You don't always get to WIN EVERYTHING!
Boehner could have prevented the whole thing and focused all Republican energy on picking at Obamacare with everything open and no looming default. Instead, he and his colleagues have chosen to waste our time and harm this country in order to allow the Yosemite Sams to come out and re-enact a Civil War they lost 150 years ago.
John Boehner would be America's hero right now if he were tell the Tea Party to go suck an egg. Why he won't do it says something about his character in times of crisis. He sits on his hands instead of acting.
