Nice speech...now what do we do?

This speech by Boehner was actually quite good, but....



What if they can't back it up?   Get a few of those who were cheering to get cold feet, and the whole thing will come crashing down into flaming ruins.

Consider this speech in the movie Braveheart. Afterward, the "mad" Irishman Steven says something like: "nice speech, now what do we do?"

After that, you have to fight, or look ridiculous. That's the position that Boehner is in now. He has to carry it out to its conclusion no matter how much it hurts, or he looks ridiculous.  The conclusion is victory or defeat, for now the die is cast.  If all Boehner is doing is playing a political game, everyone will be able to see that for themselves.  This has to be sincere.
