I'd agree, if ever there was a call to flush all the bums out this is it. I think people thought the incoming Tea Party was an attempt at this...but it looks like they've mostly elected a number of crazies to Congress.
Had Boehner had the Blue Dogs to do deal with instead of his own party it's quite likely the House would have passed a reasonable bill the Senate would have had to put before the President to sign.
