BOEHNER: BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD TEABAG

Today I've heard the current House of Representatives called everything from the Kamikaze House  to the party seizing defeat from the jaws of victory  It is said that Boehner has painted himself into a corner because he is so inept at his job.   Rove advises they can wait until Obama goes away on holiday to meet his family and then the House can say that the Democrats have once again walked away from the middle class.

It is felt by staffers that a lifeline was tossed to the House Republicans and they tossed it away.  It appears that McConnell finally realized just how much they have all lost with the stance they have taken for three years.  One who spoke to many Republicans all week said none of them can see a path to victory for themselves. Brian Beutlera reporter for TPM (Talking Points Memo)  talked about some of what was pushing the Republicans who didn't give the ramifications a thought.  (This speaks to their inability to see beyond one issue and thus they can only see their own goal and not what they are doing to the American middle class or their own chances for re-election).  After that, there was a  "Where-do-we-go-from-here moment."  Another comment,  "It will be another Ground Hog Day tomorrow in Washington".

Meanwhile, Romney's whole campaign is to criticize Gingrich and President Obama and ride on his own tooting of horn over his past accomplishments.  When one thinks of the millions of dollars spent on this circus, and how many hungry children would be fed and allowed to be healthier for it, it is a very sad situation that any sane person would see was brought on by the single minded Republicans who do not 'compromise'.  To them, it can only be 'my way', even if millions of American citizens are desperate for food, housing , health care and jobs..

Do not look to Obama to save us all. Vote for him so he can continue fighting for the middle class as he has tried to do since he came into office.  We are too easily influenced by the media who, much of the time, do not know the rules under which he is controlled.
