Even Hastert broke the Hastert rule

On any issues as important and defining as the ones B****r is allowing votes on? Can you show me an instance where Pelosi brought votes up that had overwhelming GOP support and little from her own party?

What the GOP is letting happen here will guarantee their loss of the House in '14 and to forever be the opposition party without any leadership role whatsoever.

Boehner is now suggesting he might disregard the ‘Hastert Rule’ on upcoming votes on guns, immigration and the budget. Which means he may allow them to be voted on and pass even if most Republicans voted against them.

“We are writing to express our strong opposition to legislation requiring private sale background checks for firearms purchases,” the letter reads. “Under the precedents and traditions of the House, we would ask that no gun legislation be brought to the floor of the House unless it has the support of a majority of our caucus.”…

A spokesman for Rep. (Steve) Stockman (R-TX) says more than 45 Republicans have signed the letter, although it’s doubtful a “Hastert majority” of the House GOP will endorse it.
