“The Tea Party congressional caucas is getting smashed if this Boehner/Reid thing goes through.”
Thus far, there is no “Boehner/Reid thing”. There are differences each from the other. Hopefully, Reid will keep giving in & buy into Boehner’s (while saving face, no doubt). And don’t forget, this isn’t just between B & R - others have to sign on as well, and that’s before it even gets to BHO for real.
We have to get done what we can now, and keep doing more and more all the time. But the most important, immediate thing is to get BHO to either cave in and sign, or stubbornly veto something that looks like Congress worked on together. Then, either way, he’ll show his ass for all the world to see.
The fact is, we’ll have to get him out (and win back the Senate) before we can get done all that needs to be done, ‘cause it’s gonna be a LOT, and until then we’ll need to be unified - that’s the only way it can happen.

I understand. But if we stop now and fail to dial in to our representatives, we get a “committee” instead of the caucas representatives we elected at the mid-terms, and incidentally what happens behind the committee closed doors cuts us out too. Without the new House caucas we would not be as far along as we are. (IMHO)
