Does anyone know why Boehner, after scolding Dems in the House
for not 'playing fair':nopity:, called for an adjournment (on Thursday a.m.)? Is he trying to stop the House from getting anything done?

2. it was in protest
to the dems using "heavy handed" tactics-can you believe the nerve of these people? I'm all for the payback is a bitch after the way they rammed bills down the dems throats for the last six years-they would hand them a bill that was the size of a book and expect them to understand what was in it in an hour-screw them-they are lazy and don't like how Nancy Pelosi has made them actually have to earn their money up there.

6. Thanks; makes sense. What doesn't make sense is why 5 Dems
would cast a 'nv', unless they're not there.
And yes, the rethugs aren't lacking in nerve but I'm enjoying watching the payback.

7. You can't vote 'nv'...
'nv' means not voting. It means that the member is absent. If a member wants to vote but not take a position, he can vote present.

8. That's why I said I didn't understand the 'nv'. It was up to 6 Dems
'nv-ing' and the count decreased; and why wouldn't they want to vote on Boehner's adjournment. I'm trying to learn what all this means finally; it hasn't been worth much to watch in a long time.

4. Well, we know it can't be because he's a hypocrite*
So I can't fathom what the reason might be.

*All the talking chuckleheads say that it's the Democrats who flip-flop, but it's Republicans who adjust to reality on the ground. So Republicans can never e-e-e-ever be hypocrites, saying one thing and doing something else entirely. Teevee tells me so.
