Leadership has them still trapped in posturing for the tea party. boehnor knows that his latest proposal, which cbo has exposed as not saving as much money as boehnor claimed, has no chance of becoming law. but the tea party doesn t know that. so boehnor has to appear to be fighting for it or something like it, fighting until the very end. and so boehnor pretends to fight for it as h told the house republican caucus today. get your ass in line, this is the bill. i can t do this job unless you re behind me. but tea party approval is still hard to come by for an old republican establishment guy like boehnor. i will not vote for this bill, because i don t think we should be raising the debt ceiling at all. we need to be doing what a business does when it becomes ....
Republican troops to glory in the battle over the debt ceiling. mccarthy s definition of glory, in this instance, would be voting for the latest edition of the boehnor bill, whatever that turns out to be. mccarthy knows inspirational speaking is not his strong point, so he turned to hollywood for some help. no, no, no, no, no. mccarthy was 5 years old when patton was made, so he reached for something more contemporary. i need your help. i can t tell you what it is, you can never ask me about it later, ....
