John Boehner! Let the people vote!!

You were not elected to be Speaker of the Tea Party of America. You were elected to be Speaker of the House, the Whole House. Let all the Representatives vote. You are acting like a damn dictator.

Is it too much to ask for all our Congress to vote on something so important? Why would you choose to be on the side of a radical minority?

Mr Boehner, do your job. Do your fucking job and let the people vote. You have no right to stop the vote of even one Representative. Each of them were voted into Congress by the people in their district and they deserve to be heard. Stop acting like a know-it-all dictator.

Grow a spine, Mr Boehner, and stand up for your country and the Constitution.

By not allowing the house to vote.

And I guess the house has to have him call a vote to make it official.

Boehner's dictatorship must end.
