House Speaker John Boehner’s staff is advising the White House on what to say to win Republican votes for U.S. military action in Syria, according to National Review.

Boehner (R-Ohio) said last week he supports President Barack Obama’s call for action, one of relatively few Republicans to say so publicly. With Obama set to address the nation Tuesday, the speaker’s staff is advising White House chief of staff Denis McDonough on what the president needs to say to win GOP support, National Review reported.

A congressional aide told National Review that Boehner will “spend a lot of time listening to his members” this week, as opposed to more public displays aimed at getting Republicans on board with the White House.

A "source within the leadership’s circle" via the legendary investigative reporter, Robert Costa, as certified by the eminently relaible Madeleine Morgenstern.

Have you any reports that Costa did that were wrong? He is usually pretty dialed in on what the GOP is doing on the hill much like Bob Novak was.

Here's the full quote with no edit (it's even better):

"He announced his position after last week’s White House meeting, but since then he hasn’t wooed rank-and-file members or published any op-eds, and he has declined every Sunday-show invitation. Boehner’s aides say the speaker believes that the pressure is on the president and House minority leader Nancy Pelosi to deliver votes, and he’s focused almost entirely on keeping his fragile conference together ahead of the fall’s fiscal dramas."

Right here is the problem with the modern GOP. They are actively going against us behind the scenes to protect the ruling class. The only thing I can;t figure out is if this has been gong on for a long time and it is so out of control to be exposed or if it is just a bad group of GOP leadership in office.

This is probably the far-right trying to goad Speaker Boehner.

But, let's assume this article is 100% accurate, what does it amount to?

Our wonderful Speaker, Mighty John Boehner, is taking a very noble approach, signaling that he would like to support the President in time of international strife, while making it clear that it is Obama's obligation to provide sufficient, solid, evidence for MJB and his caucus to justify doing so.

This harkens back to a more dignified and patriotic era when "politics ends at the water's edge" was more than an anachronism.

Bravo, Mr. Speaker.

You make us proud to be Republicans!

That's right, NR has been infiltrated by your fellow travelers.

MJB's accomplishments are too numerous to list here.
