Boehner and Pelosi are still begging votes in the back rooms.

I’d love to see more Dems than Reps voting for this. It should be close.

CSPAN callers are the biggest idiots on the face of the planet! No wonder Obama got elected.

Man, the C-SPAN callers are a pathetic lot. Bunch of scared leeches.

-- Unless they've done away with baseline budgeting, Paul Ryan just lied through his teeth. --

That was my first impression. I'm sure I quoted his statement accurately.

This brings back memories of of when the House of Representatives under Dem control passed Obamacare and sent it to Obama to sign... today if this Debt Limit Deal passes under (R) control, worse day ever in my lifetime in regards to political issues...

Does anyone here believe this will fail? I do not.

My Faith in God is great but my faith in man is nil.

Pres = 160
Yea = 0
Nay = 0

Are we witnessing a House revolt?

The timeliness of you being able to pull out that perfect quote gave me a chill. Someone should send that message to Ryan.

Was anyone but me watching the "debate" on C-Span now? I don't know the black woman representative's name, but she this is what she wants for HER grandchildren (my paraphrasing, but not much):

"I want Headstart for my grandchildren.
"I want WIC."
"I want immunizations."
"I want research for food safety so their chicken nuggets are safe."
I want clean air and water, and jobs to invent things."
"I want them to be contributing citizens, and I want a safety net for them if they get cold in the night."

"I want my grandchildren to get the American Dream...and I yield back."

This is what we are up against, folks.

Bunch of scared leeches.

Which puts me in mind, again, of this line from Julius Caesar....

Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.

Maybe a bad analogy, but watching the GOP lately is like watching the Jews march into the forests of Kiev. Like you know you are going to die, but you go anyway - resigned to your fate.

I guess looking for a job would cut in to her TV time.
