Re: Speaker Boehner, anyone claiming he has not been supportive is claiming something contrary to what Rep. Issa has said. I have seen Issa say on several occasions that Boehner had his back.

Any assertions denying that is evidence of an un-clear understanding of the politics at play in the House.

The ones who run around and rant are the ones who are ineffective. Actions speak louder than words. Some here have a lot to learn about that.
