The republican establishment is no different from the progressives in the other party.

So what? We al know what’s in the bill, more of the same BS. The American people are screwed again, and they don’t even wear condoms.

I brought this up over the weekend and I could tell he was sniffling back tears while posting an apology on Twitter.

Sorry, but we just didn't have that kind of time. Instant total default. No Social Security checks. No food stamps. Wall Street panic. World coming to an end. It's 8/2 in a couple hours.

They just had to come up with a quick way to spend more. Be grateful. They just saved the world.

I think they’ll say the August 2nd deadline was the reason.

Plus, the GOP got almost everything they wanted for 2012 in this bill.

Does Boehner remember what happened to FORMER House Speaker, Tom Foley?

Give him a real reason to weep: primary him out next year.

This isn't news. The House rule is not 72 hrs anyway. It's "3 calendar days" excluding weekends and holidays when the House isn't in session.

A bill posted at 11:59pm on Monday can be voted on 12:01am on Wednesday.

The rule could always be suspended and did not apply to emergency bills. This was discussed over the weekend in another thread.

The House passed "Cut, Cap & Balance."

The House passed the Boehner bill.

The House rejected the Reid bill.

The immoveable deadline is tomorrow.

There was no time left to comply with the "pledge," let along the rule.

Thanks to their obstructionism, Democrats ran the clock out making it IMPOSSIBLE for the GOP not to break this "pledge."

BLAME OBAMA. BLAME REID.

Stop shooting your own side!

I never been a prepper. However, after today, I decided there is no hope. There is no one fighting for America anymore. I am convinced that it will get much worse very soon.

Boehner is a lying scumbag, unworthy of support or respect. He is a waste.

Let me guess after all the Cong hullabaloo. No real cuts in spending, no capping the government debt, and taxes to come later.

He is just the head crook in a place filled with crooks.

You can not trust him in anytime.

You know how to tell a Congressman is not telling the truth, they open their month.
