believe Boner has to stand up to the teabaggers, because I believe he and Mitch McConnell are both in with them. I think Boner is the one keeping people in line that wants to break ranks and rumors are his ranks are cracking. I think the Dems need to talk to individual house members secretly and get their own pulse behind Boner's back. It is hard to believe all those House members, just represent the one percent. I do not think they are representing all their constituents when 60 percent of Republicans don't want to raise the medicare age. It is best to go around these fools and communicate to their constituents like Senator Sanders said.

We do that all the time in War to over throw Dictatorial regimes. That is what I got a sense of in the Election, when you had bosses threatening employees, whom to vote for. That tells me how the GOP is keeping their voters in line besides their race baiting. There is something to their Union hating too. They see Unions as a threat.
