I think he will allow compromises to come to a vote and let a coalition of sane Republicans and the Democrats pass a budget funding bill and a highway bill.
Yeah, I'm sayin it. Boehner is going to stick it to the Tealiban as his last act in Congress. He's going to do it because he got a little bit of inspiration from the Pope and because he is sick and tired of kowtowing to the loony bin baggers.
Go for it John! I'm with ya!!!!!!!!!

(28,394 posts)This is the most "statesmanlike" I have ever seen him. He's even kind of affable now that he has the burden lifted. He got all teary again when talking about the Pope. That experience really affected him in a profound way.
