John Boehner: One criminal is leaving. But you cannot trust the next one either.
Letter to Senator Johanns: Will Republicans Just Repeat Debt Limit Mistake?
This letter was sent to Senator Johanns on November 12, 2012. Dear Senator Johanns, As I wrote you earlier, if the Republicans caved on the debt limit issue they would pay a price at election time.
