Apparently, this is all due to Boner being the weakest Speaker in House history...

[TreasonousBastard]

He's Speaker and Republican leader and he lets less than 30 of his own assholes run the show?

And Cruz?

(edited to make sense)

1. Yep.

2. Boehner wanted this. He could have avoided it with little effort. nt

3. The fact that no more than 10% of the US house is owned by a cabal

of billionaires, Koch, Adelson, Walton, Perry, Loeb, etc....are holding the world economy hostage is most disturbing.

4. exactly

He can't control them. He could get enough votes to pass a CR if it's something Democrats can vote for. He's can't deal with those numbers, so he's taking marching orders from Cruz, whose presidential ambitions are now dashed (I hope!).

5. Leaders Lead

The Speaker is not a leader of anything. It is time for his Profile on Courage moment. Do the right thing and bring up the Senate Bill and allow your members to vote their conscience.

6. I agree, Boehner has little to no leadership skill either in getting outside of himself and

and seeing the big picture, shrewdness, persuasion, nor in standing up to political pressure within his own party.

He is indeed weak in all manner of the word in regards to leadership.

Thanks for the thread, TreasonousBastard.
