Pundit Press: Boehner's Speakership in Peril: Perhaps the biggest political story line coming out of the House's affirmative vote for the Senate's short term band-aid to the fiscal clif...
Comment:
This was Boner's fault. If two thirds of the Republicans wouldn't vote for this bill, he could have withheld it from the floor for a vote. Wasn't there an unwritten rule for a majority of the majority? As soon as he promised to bring up the Senate's bill for a vote, the die was cast. To vote for Boner as Speaker now is to vote for what has just happened.
Are we about to get more Kabuki theater? Or will Boner go down? For if Boner doesn't go down, those who opposed the deal that just passed will be pulling our leg with respect to their supposed opposition to the fiscal cliff deal. They will be phony baloney plastic banana as the Democrats.
