RE :”Agreeing to the Senate-passed legislation, however, would be a bitter pill for House Democrats to swallow after their unified action last week. It would likely be seen as a final capitulation for a chamber that has been forced to defer to the Senate repeatedly during the 111th Congress, most notably when it passed the upper chamber’s version of the healthcare law in March. “

I was amazed that Pelosi got them (house liberals) to vote for Obama-care and moderates to give up their seats for it. They hated that bill and still do. Here's another of those fun cartoons showing the frustration with Obama:

More on that video:

Obama Supporter : “ I spent the election (2008) posting on the internet forums telling everyone how great Barrack Obama is and insulting anyone who disagreed with me ”
Demoralized Progressive :” I am sure that made the difference in the election ”

We know that could never happen, LOL

It seems that the liberals are starting to coalesce around the "deal", which makes me question how good of a deal it actually is for us. Reflexively, I think we probably could do better next month. But, I also understand the optics of being seen as the group who's responsible for raising taxes.

I'm on the fence, although I'm slightly leaning in the direction of waiting until next month.

So the House rats are a lot like the Chinese? (marxists obsessed with saving face)
