Does the dictator label really fit Boehner in the wake of the dissension that arose in the face of Plan B? The Republican Party certainly seems much more fractured in recent weeks than the unity they showed after the midterm elections. Boehner isn't allowing the Senate bill to reach the floor, but as the leader of the opposition party isn't that to be expected in the wake of such opposition from his fellow Republicans?

I think in this case Boehner plays the part of dictator of a dying regime.
