9. What A Crock
Wed Dec 4, 2013, 02:32 PM
Dec 2013

Every one of those 150 bills were partisan measures similar to the 45 bills to abolish or defund the Affordable Care Act. Boehner then has the gall to proclaim "when will they (Democrats) learn to say 'yes' to common ground" when there is no common ground. Time and again Democrats have proposed bill with that common ground but Boehner refuses to bring them to a vote because of the stupid so-called Hastert Rule. Immigration reform passed the Senate with a large bi-partisan margin and has the votes in the House to pass but Boehner won't bring it to a vote.

As for his comment "when will they start listening to the American people" he better avoid mirrors because these measures Boehner refuses to bring to a vote have broad support from the American people. It is like Boehner is having an "opposites day" because everything he is saying is exactly backwards to what the truth is. Boehner is a highly flawed man -- it's like the tanning booth has fried his brain.
