So she played by the rules....no harm no foul....

So ... John Boehner, emerging from a 2 hour meeting with his caucus, has canceled tonights vote.

This makes this House of Reps officially unable to literally accomplish anything, even rubber stamp pass a bipartisan bill from the Senate already approved by huge majority and requested (previously passed the responsibility on to) by Boehner.

This also reveals John Boehner as the weakest Speaker in history, a man completely owned by threats from the Tea Party, caving to them over the advice from senior Republican Senators.

Dems and Independents sweep 2012.

Boehner cancels his vote because it would have passed. Geebus fooking cripes. He can't go low enough to be the mouthpiece of screwing Obama, even if it means screwing America. What a pathetic little man.

Newt was a world class terrible speaker, so bad his party held a coup, then kicked him out. But Boehner is starting to surpass his incompetence.

House Republicans fail to pass extending unemployment benefits, payroll tax cut, doc fix so doctors treating Medicare patients are paid what they should be, even though their Senate Republican counterparts told them they should pass it (the Senate passed the bipartisan extension 89-10)

Did you see it? That was the modern Republican Party going off the edge of the cliff, and into the political wilderness for the next 10 years.
