It would be a hard stretch to say that the previous two budgets the house passed are not generally reflective of their constituents desires. Similarly in keeping with the campaigned stances most of the freshmen GOP took when elected in 2010. The fact that the last attempt from Boehner was a failure is moreso a reflection of their independence and desire to keep true to their 2010 campaign intents.
If one truly wishes to look at the authoritarian approach and arm twisting one only need look back to the universal health care passage. In those instances the blue dogs were runnning scared but were compelled by party discipline, bribery, and other sausage making techniques to betray their constituencies."Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson

Telling anyone that even Leno is funnier than they are is about the worst insult I can imagine.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Its at least a more balanced critique then most on poly. Granted Guy hates GOP moreso than Dems but at least he understands all pols suck."Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson

Not every republican is Rush Limbaugh. Not every democrat is Pelosi. Not every black is Fred Sanford. Not every Texan rides a horse to work.

Dude, you've got your parties mixed up. Pelosi was downright dictatorial in the way she ran the house because she couldn't ever get the Dems to fall in line. Boehner doesn't have to twist arms. The GOP just has less infighting.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?
