The tally on the Boehner bill with the BBA in it is 218 for, 204 against, 11 not voting as I type this.  Some stone, DUchebag. :tongue: :fuelfire: :hammer:

The dorkio primitive wouldn't know the difference between a Boehner and a flay-swatter, so who's taking his word on politics?

He probably means because Reid has promised to kill it in the Senate.  However, I'm not sure Reid still has the luxury of doing that without having to eat it later, as much drama as he and his have made of the time limit.

Boehner did his job.   The Senate and president can take the heat and the fall now.

Exactly correct. Obama may be playing 'Vulcan Chess' but Boehner is playing Football. He turned the ball over to the opposing team with 15 seconds left on the clock in the 4th quarter.

And they need to go 90 yards to get a score.

As I said in another thread, what Boehner did was prove this premise:

The House legislates.

The President pontificates.

The Senate terminates.

Indeed. - I'd suggest its 'Hail Mary' time - but I'm certain that would offend the tender sensibilities of the primitives.

If Boehner is "toast", it's because he's going to be challenged in the primary in favor of a TEA Constitutionalist.

God grant it be so.
