I don't understand why Democrats are so kind to John Boehner. I haven't heard any Democratic Senator or Representative bad mouth him; yet every time I hear him speak he lets out one or more whoppers. The Continuing Resolution supposedly being considered is the number wanted by Republicans. The Republicans not only won that battle but the number is lower than the Sequester value.
Boehner says "This is not some damn game." But I'm sorry Mr Boehner, it is some damn game you are playing. (http://www.cnbc.com/id/101065750) and a dangerous one at that. All that posturing by Republican Representatives in front of the WW-II Memorial when they voted to lower funding for the VA. If it isn't a political game, what is it? You and some other Republicans may feel this was the place to get rid of the Afforadable Care Act, but many other Republicans and conservatives warned against it. A threat is no good if the other side isn't worried.
But I understand that some strategy is needed and to wait for the Debt limit and then allow an up or down vote will be the time to fall on your sword. You don't want to do it too early. Maybe in the end you will actually have missed the sword and survive. I also have heard some Democrats trying to think of ways to bail you out. What weird politics we are in when it is the opposing party trying to find a way to bail you out.
