House Republicans are in full revolt in the wake of Senate passage of a two-month payroll tax holiday package, casting serious doubt on the fate of a bill that already has President Barack Obamas approval.
Republican leaders were warned that they could expect a rebellion if lawmakers are forced to vote on the Senate version of the bill, according to a source on the line. After the call, its not clear whether Republican leaders will try to pass the bill with a combination of Republican and Democratic votes or try another version and bring the Senate back to town. Leadership is expected to reconvene this weekend to talk about how to proceed.

You maybe “saved by grace” but you are not using the commonsense and intelligence God gave you. The American people are not rebelling against Republican leadership. Boehner is the only adult here. How could all those Republicans in the Senate vote for this piece of trash? Good for only 2 months. Then what are the American people going to do. Worry and wonder about the next bill? Will it be for only 2 months too? Use your head. The American people want to see some good come out of Congress not all this political “gottacha” stuff. BO is certainly not leading by not okaying this pipeline deal. Do you want 4 more years of this bonehead?
Ask that question to the knuckle heads who let their dogs roam around the back of the red truck unhampered by any restrains. At least Romney’s dog was in a carrier.
Politico is a pinko rag!
“The key requirement is that THIS EXTENSION BE PAID FOR DEFICIT NEUTRAL.”
People shouldn’t forget that the best way to raise revenues is to cut taxes. This will stimulate and grow the economy, which in turn will result in far greater revenues than before. Reagan proved this years ago. It should not be forgotten now.
Gonna miss Gerry......
The only "good" that will come out of this "Congress" that you speak of, is what comes out of the Republican / Tea-Party dominated "House of Representatives"! Period! ...and to that extent, the told the "Leadership" to stick it up their arse for agreeing to this Rat-inspired last-minute ambush - as these Rats have done every time for the past 4 years. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!
Read more carefully next time. That is NOT what I said.
Lol, thanks!
Lol, that's a reversal - a dead dog and a live voter!

McConnell needs to go. Kentucky needs to wake up, but they...and the GOP... are stuck with him until 2014...
McConnell's pretense of being conservative has already been outed by his voting and positional records, and his extremely alarming attempt this July to push for the Congress surrendering its constitutional authority for control over indebtedness...and handing it to the Executive Branch...i.e., the most insane Cloward-Piven debt-increaser there is...Barack Hussein Obama.
McConnell needs to be removed from the minority "leadership" position.
He has ratted himself out. No more wiggle room. Strip him of any authority. Now.
Thanks, I share your thoughts, and my screen-name [potlatch] is my previous little dog’s name.
Fantastic! What a way to honor a friend! I love dogs... they are my favorite people.

A serious conservative would be wapping Harry Reid every single second of every day...as a "tyrant".
