Why Boehner is pissing me off
The foundation of modern politics is the vote. Even though we as Americans don't typically vote in large numbers, we expect our representatives to vote on everything. Look at the committee system, we vote a formation committee, vote who is on it, vote what they will discuss, vote on their votes, vote on the votes they voted on, and then vote on that as well! Boehner's refusal to allow a vote on anything is not just shameful, but should be considered as treason. He may not like the outcome, but then again he may, the only way to know is to put all the issues to a vote and allow the chips to fall where they may. I am not fond of many of the votes of the Florida legislature (which at times border on the idiotic) but I respect them as law because they were arrived at by a vote of duly elected officials. Boehner's refusal to allow a vote on one issue that he doesn't like is a tyrannical Speaker holding Congress at bay at the expense of the Federal Government, our economy, and our very people all because he can't stomach the US funding a law that was upheld by the highest Court and made by the self-same congress he is inhibiting. He will be the downfall of the once noble Republican party. What do you think of Boehner and his actions?
