Who says they're "tough guys"? I thought you libs were always shrieking about how cold and unfeeling the right is. Can't have it both ways.

What does that even mean, anyway?

Are you lefties so upset that Queen Nancy isn't Speaker anymore, that you have to attack a man who doesn't try to deny that he is a human being?

Name one person who you know has never cried as an adult.

If you name yourself - I call your bluff - or rightly say that you have no conscience.

Any person with a semblance of a heart cries at some point - the world is just too tragic at times for any one who calls themselves human to not do so.
Problem is that Boehner cries quite often. Either he's extremely sensitive and emotional, or he's a fake.

That poor guy needs antidepressants and he doesn't know it. He is self medicating with booze.

That's my point. Crying about criticism of Boehner doesn't help his cause.

why does that bother you so much? So he cries easy, and yes, we all know he does, we probably enjoy some of the jokes about his tears, but it has nothing to do with you or me either for that matter.

I have so much trouble understanding the pettynes of posting like this other than to show the hatred the left seems to have.

Men and women with hearts, compassion, humility, anguish, do cry; while arrogant cronies without souls have to fake tears, or make up tearful moments to appear human. And then there're those who pick and chose which tears they commend, and which they despise. The petty ones.

Yes, this is just another lame thread.
Game over.
A lot of liberals are good method actors.

Witness Hollywood - and Broadway.

I agree. He is dealing with a TP fringe wing which belongs institutionalized. The deal he was working on with the WH was far better for fiscal hawks than the bill passed, but alas, the fringe could not do the math, and failed to realize they lacked the votes to avoid tax hikes by default. So they went for the jugular Plan B at a powerLESS time, and paid the price.

Liberals don't want to pay their "fair share".

They would rather attack producers, and drivers of the economy, such as entrepeneurs, small businesses, investors, and corporations.

The loony left's favorite motto is "Let's shoot ourselves in the foot (but not with an "assault weapon").
