Why is the liberal media trying to make Bohner look weak?

They have no evidence that Cantor and Bohner are not in lock step. Do they report facts or just attack for Democrats.

Why is the liberal media trying to split republicans.

    I think they are trying to praise Bohner into working with Obama... But luckily Bohner is not running that show the Tea Party candidates are.

    Although I think Bohner should just go watch his tv and say, when your ready cut, and not tax give me a call. The pressure is on Obama, not Bohner... Bohner is doing what he was elected to do. Democrats know if the republicans cave then the republicans loose big in 2012.

    So lots of politics going on. This won't happen until august 2 that is for sure.

    Dude, reporters hear a *lot* that's off the record. But you don't have to be a reporter to see that the House leadership is struggling here. House members are caught between doing the sane thing, and facing primary challenges from Tea Party zealots. It's not a pretty situation and the leadership on both sides is sweating it.

    Because after Boehner mentioned revenue increases Cantor promptly put him in line . Cantor thinks he can take the lead with the new tea baggers and IS doing everything he can to undermine Boehner to become speaker .

    Because he is weak (and I'm a Republican saying this). He bows to the Tea Party, and it's absolutely amazing how they have hijacked the Republican Party. They are an extreme minority of the GOP, however they scream the loudest and seem to feel they deserve things to only go their way or no way. It is extremely disturbing, I honestly wish they would just form at 3rd Party that way the GOP doesn't get painted with the same brush as these wackos.

    Because Obummer is in trouble, the economy numbers continue to sink along with his approval numbers and the democrats have no plan. So what can the media do, there hands are tied, they have doubled down on Obummer and he isn't even showing up to take his swings. They have to fight for him by proxy. He says eat our peas, what he meant to say was, let them eat cake.

    Same reason they tried to portray Pelosi as competent and sane. They're partisan.

    Then call Boehner and tell him to stop reversing his statements once he talks to Cantor...

    Then it won't seem so obvious...
