Nobody did consider him a "hero". They voted for him so they could get the rest of the budget bills passed for the new fiscal year (starts October 1) and he was the most "reasonable" alternative. Given the rest of them are completely unreasonable, it was just keep the best of a bad lot and retake the majority in November.

Hi TC, In retrospect I would say 'reasonable person' instead of 'hero.' That does not change the issue... it is not about the names we can call these people... the fact the Speaker of the House dis-graced himself, dis-graced his position, dis-graced this country shows he missed one of the basic lessons in life... NO MATTER WHAT LIFE HANDS YOU, IF YOU DON'T HAVE CHARITY OR HOPE, AT LEAST ACT WITH GRACE. I thought you might understand this.
