Boehner is afraid of the Tea-Partiers. CaliforniaPeggy Oct 2013 #3

I disagree. IMO, he IS a teabagger himself . The GOP and "tea party" are one and the same. AlinPA Oct 2013 #5

I guess he fears he will lose his speakership. DCBob Oct 2013 #4

That was the Repug battle cry when we blocked a few Bush nominees Flying Squirrel Oct 2013 #6

but Im not sure that would happen in this case. I think there are still a lot of House Reps who would support him if he simply brought it to a vote. Many thought he would be gone last time this happened and he survived that one easily.
