4. Why, do you mean to say that Mr. Boner might lie? Gosh golly.
I guess I hadn't thought of that.

:crazy:

7. Boehner speaking to his caucus is gospel for progressives
That's where we're at this evening.

10. Why would he make that statement if HE did not believe it?

2. What else is he going to say?
That every member of his caucus will be forced to vote for tax increases before December 23?

:rofl:

3. Even if that were true (and it's not)...
his masters wanted all or nothing. It will be interesting to see what goes down tomorrow.

5. Well, his efforts have won the applause of the Third Way, New Democrats, here.
Or, is it the glorious 2% that Obama's heroic efforts won?

8. Unmistakably Faux News



In looking through the article I notice "the president" is referred to twice, both times in lower case.
I don't think they would have made that sort of a mistake with Shit-for-Brains.

9. Boner, if you were to choke to death on your own tears,
then I'd get 100% of what I want from you.

Now go cry some more, Agent Orange.

12. Just what DUers want to hear,
rationale for their own meltdown.

14. Boehner got more than he wanted, he even got the President to talk about a balanced budget amendment
Something a President should NEVER talk about during a recession.
