Boehner is just proving that he is more of a rino than a conservative.

If we plan it right, Boehner will not be Speaker of the House after the 2014 mid-terms. He is much worse than Hastert (who was milquetoast), and Frist. Frist lacked a spine, like all GOP leadership, but at least he did not give the store away to the Democrats like Boehner has.

We need another Gingrich to be Speaker of the House.

Gingrich made all sorts of promises to become speaker and then forgot all about those promises also.

I think the strategy is good. Get the budget off the table so that the news can continue to focus on republican winning issues like how bad Obamacare is. The budget would just be a distraction from Obamacare, and Obamacare is a guaranteed loser for democrats. Next year is an election.

Agree. Let's keep the focus on Qbamacare. The majority hates it.

We don't need liberal or moderate Republicans.. the left is too far left and they are all far left as Obama leads this nation into socialism.. We need real Republicans who stand for lowering taxes after the biggest tax hike ever on the American people though Obamacare.

You, unfortunately, are so far to the right that EVERYBODY else is to the left.... The reality is that we need far fewer people like you. We need to get along, not ostracize and disenfranchise the majority of Americans. For those are the true makings of a dictatorship: I am right, everybody else is wrong.

There is an African proverb where a man whose severed head lies in the forrest and it speaks to those who pass it by, "Talking got me here." The Tea Party is the severed head and ACA is what got it there.

" look at who's money is being spent" The GOOD news is it will be LESS then the dems budget or Obama's budget called for and LESS then if a Continuing Resolution was passed with THIS years budget numbers.

What's on?

Nobody on the right has ever liked Boehner. Nobody on the right gives 2 hoots what he says. Nobody on the right cares who he lashes out at.

Boehner is not on the side of the right.

I thought everybody knew that.
"I thought everybody knew that. Which goes to show you DON'T know everything you think you do.

I am on the right and I don't agree with ANYTHING you have claimed.
