John Boehner is a Politician

.

And that's not a good thing. I was wondering how he was going to maneuver this and as it turns out, he's going to kill two birds with one stone. He's not going to default on the debt And he's going to hold republican voters hostage through the 2012 elections. 

Excerpt from this article:


In laying down his marker, Boehner signals to the White House that Republicans will exact a high price to raise the debt ceiling, to be paid off in spending cuts, not tax increases. With Democrats rejecting cuts to Social Security and Medicare, there's little left that could deliver the trillions in cuts. One alternative is to pass short-term debt-limit deals, each accompanied by spending cuts, until Americans weigh in on the issue in 2012 elections.

These people, starting with John Boehner because of his position Must go and be replaced with Tea Party conservatives if there is to be any hope of breaking the same old same old that we've had since LBJ.

If I had to slap down a $100 bill, it would be to bet that Boehner and Hairy Reid get along just fine when they're not blowing smoke up our butts. 

As an aside, I hear that Allen West is going to do an hour long segment on the Glen Beck show (to be scheduled).  I'm no fan of Glen Beck, (long before the media demonized him) but I have to wonder why a congressman is doing a long segment like that on a conservative friendly national show.  I think it is to really introduce himself to America, and suggests he might want to play a larger part in America's escape from Communism.  (The Progressive agenda is the Communist agenda.  No sense mincing words.)
