Politico:Chris Christie unleashes anger at Boehner

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Somebody wants to be President.

Yeah, ripping your own speaker and party is a good way to start, politically

Of course ripping Congress is always favorable to the masses

He's not exactly wrong, mind you. But "standing up" to the party elite can't hurt, can it?

Not with the masses....look at Simi.....he's drooling over this speech, and frankly I can't wait to hear it later on TV

Both Christie and King were very clear in praising Cantor while pummelling Boehner.

Boehner won't last the week as speaker.

Well I don't know if all of the committee people he tossed off are coming back in the new Congress, but they won't need many more supporters to oust him if they are.

The "pork-loaded" Senate bill had $600 million in other provisions out of $60 billion, i.e., 1% of the total.

Maybe wasn't loaded but still totally inappropriate to include in this.

Why is the house version sooooooo much smaller if the Senate bill was 1% pork?

I'm not sure, GM. You trying to make a point here?

Yes I am!     If we accept b33's statement as fact, and I do, the house version is providing far less aid.....and perhaps justifiably so in some instances, but it's a huge difference.....why?
