In the least. I can very easily see Gardner pledging support in the morning, then backing out by the evening when it was clear Boehner didn’t have the votes. Cagey Cory strikes again!
Remember, Gardner is a former Democrat who jumped ship to the GOP. He stands for one thing: aggregating personal power. His principles are about two millimeters deep. If you’re a Democrat who feels burned by this, at least you now have John Boehner to console you!
I can think off the top of my head of four party switchers, two of them Polsters, who are awesome people. And one who’s an okay person.
switching parties because you have none is quite another.
Rather than no convictions as causative of Cory’s specific, individual switcheroo.
I just want my tax cuts
but if he is going to change his mind, at least he did it in the direction that is best for this country.
I would tend to put a bit more stock in what the Fort Collins paper is reporting than the New York Times just because Cory is more likely to talk with the locals.
I think it is safe to say that the situation in the House is somewhat fluid given the apparent power struggle going on with the Tea Party brown shirters.
At the end, the House situation will probably get settled on the basis of just raw, bare knuckled application of leadership power. I don’t see a kumbaya moment with the House Republican caucus, just blood on the floor.
My gut is that the Speaker prevails with one or two Republican votes than he needs – but the Democrats vote against it and the House sends a limping bill to the Senate. If the Senate kills the Speaker’s bill, he will not be able to hold the mushy votes for another round and we have a dead House bill and a dead Senate bill.
But wait! Now the momentum seems to be back on Boehner’s side. Then again, he still may be a few votes short. Gardner might get whiplash before the day is out.
Democrat in the 90’s pendulum seems to be a swing right, now I am Republican and a socially conservative one at that.
Pendulum seems to be swinging against the socially conservative Musgraves of the world, now I am a fiscal conservative.
I am a team player so I will support Boehner, but wait Cantor is stabbing Boehner in the back and is going to usurp him when Boehner is forced to capitulate, better support Cantor.
But wait my district is being redrawn and has a lot of independents…. But how will my district react when farm subsdies are cut… but…but…
Every way the wind blows.
But on what planet is Brandonmander going to use this to his advantage? Gardner’s not doing himself any favors, but it’s hard to see him doing anything except keeping his seat next year.
The other day I happened to turn on C-Span and there was the Cory giving his version of anti-American. He is concerned about the future of his 7 y.o. girl. She should be concerned if the R’s get their way.
She will be a street waifShe will have to face a life without taxes if Cory becomes the millionaire he dreams of.
