John Boehner: “Republicans who join Democrats over the war wimps.”

This bill is the greatest threat to freedom that I have seen in the 19 years I have been here in Washington.

Even though I didn`t really want to go the direction where the team`s gone, they were the ones who elected me to be the leader, and I had an obligation to go lead them.

I'd rather set myself on fire than to run for office again.

Let me just be clear here. A debt limit increase without any reforms to lower our deficit just isn`t going to cut it.
