Whatever plan they settle on, they won’t introduce it until they’re sure they have the votes to not only pass it, but defeat any proposed amendments that will come up once it’s hit the floor. It is a scary time, I’m still incensed that those avowed socialists almost rammed the Paulsen plan thru, waving and screaming about the boogeyman to distract us. Like the title of this thread says, G-d Bless Our House Republicans!
The rebel Republicans were elected for their views, which reflect those of their consituents. They have nothing to fear in sticking to their principles; the alternative is shame and ignominity if they capitulate now.
The real question is, where does McCain stand?
