Senate Republicans: We Have To Save John Boehner

[Gothmog]

Boehner made his bed and should have to sleep in it. However, Senate Republicans are slow playing the negotiations to give Boehner a chance to save some face http://talkingpointsmemo.com/dc/senate-republicans-we-have-to-save-john-boehner

John Boehner needs saving. Or at least needs the chance to save himself. That's the message from some Senate Republicans as the House takes back the ball in the ongoing negotiations over re-opening the government and raising the debt ceiling.

Rather than be stuck with a bipartisan Senate plan and a clock ticking toward a Thursday debt ceiling breach, Senate GOPers said after a Tuesday caucus meeting, Boehner needs a chance to come up with a deal that will be acceptable to House conservatives. Nothing less than his speakership is at stake.

"The best thing for the country is for John Boehner to deliver," Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told reporters. "He would establish himself as the leader of the House, which is good for the country."

This is stupid. The House Republicans made this mess and Boehner backed them up. The country may suffer a default and decrease in credit rating solely to help Boehner save some face.

7. Remember when the (R)s helped save Spkr. Pelosi?

Me either!


Screw them. We need to destroy Boehner.


Let their party split, or die.. whatever.

F#@k them.

10. Pelosi never brought a bill to the floor when she did not have the votes to pass that bill

Boehner is really bad at his job and does not deserve to be saved by the Senate Republicans. These Senate Republicans are putting Boehner and the GOP ahead of country

8. Boehner had a choice going into this escapade, looks loke he made his choice.

He could go along with the crazy TP bunch or show his strength and perform his job with courage. Either make the talk show crazy bunch rave and rant or get crazy praise. He made the wrong choice and now the GOP is hurting. Nit only does Boehner's job need saving but others in the party needs saving. Is Lindsey Graham the only strong one?

They are fraudsters at being patriotic. This is how extreme their own selfishness can be.
