    It would help to point out that raising taxes on 2% of the population doesn't solve a thing.

    Boehner's talking point. It is nothing but rhetoric. The track record of the GOP, especially the establishment of which he is a part, is not one of fiscal restraint. His recent 'purge' being the action to watch.

    If conservatives want to keep the House and win the Senate, we need to fire John Boehner as speaker of the House. We only need 16 House votes to do it.

    As most conservatives know, Boehner and the House GOP Steering Committee decided to purge four conservative House members from their committee. Congressmen Justin Amash and Tim Huelskamp were removed from the House Budget Committee, and Congressmen David Schweikert and Walter Jones were cut from the Financial Services Committee.

    Amash, Huelskamp, and Schweikert were targeted because they were too fiscally conservative—all three have voted against Boehner’s debt ceiling hikes. Amash and Huelskamp were the only two GOP votes against House Budget Chairman Paul Ryan’s budget.
    Glorious infighting, just because a few fat cat teahadists lost their plum and cushy committee seats.

    Apparently this is all over the board, over and over again in multiple newer threads.

    He's got Ryan and Cantor behind him on this.

    He'll make a deal...providing the Prez and Crazy Harry Reid wants to.

    Good, then nobody including Boehner should be worried about it. Just humor the President, give him what he wants and let us get on to the other "balanced" actions that will make a difference.

    Just don't have the audacity when you have just been handed your rear on a plate in a National Election to walk into the White House and throw the losing candidates manifesto down on the table and wonder why you keep getting thrown out on your arse! This is not rocket science my friend!

    How easy it is to slip back into old habits of spend, spend, spend. "A good leader takes the people where they want to go. A great leader takes the people where they need to go."

    Yes, I agree. When was the last time we had a real fiscally conservative Republican President or Congress?

    If they give the President his pyrrhic victory then there is no reason for the president to consider the real problem. At least not for a year or two till the higher taxes get chewed up by unsustainable spending.

    Let's see. The Republicans don't have much to lose considering the country is turning socialist as per your argument. But crashing Obama's improving(?) economy and having two recessions as his legacy? I think it really is a no brainer who really does have the upper hand.

    For some reason I'm not feeling all that ballisitc, but then I'm not attached by the anus to any of the blogospheres, right, left, or spot on the bullseye. So that's probably why.

    Good idea.
