Yesterday, Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) and other GOP leaders opposed the motion to adjourn the House, arguing that Pelosi's refusal to schedule a vote allowing offshore drilling is hurting the American economy. They have refused to leave the floor after the adjournment motion passed at 11:23 a.m., and they are busy bashing Pelosi and her fellow Democrats for leaving town for the August recess.
However, right at the stroke of five Georgia Rep. Tom Price announced that House Republicans were ending their impromptu protest on the floor of the chamber, ending a five-plus hour rebellion.
I dare say that I in deed had "hope" for those few hours. Yes, hope for change that the Republicans finally grew a set of testicles and were going to stand up for the American people for once. How is that for change? However, as I should have expected, they gave up and retreated home at 5pm. Wow, five hours of standing strong for the country. You guys are so brave and worthy of standing behind as we battle the forces of evil... NOT!!!
