"Particularly strange is that this is breaking within just a few hours of The One holding a presser to demand action with middle-class taxpayers lovingly arrayed behind him."

Obama read a letter from a father, and they couldn't bear the fact that, that, poor father wouldn't be able to take his teenage daughters out for pizza night if he didn't get to keep the tax break. GEEEEZ!

Did anyone expect anything more from the Crybaby? Boner is not just an arrogant, weak, effete, Republican elite, I truly believe he is a full fledged Democrat plant. He is my enemy no less than Obama, Pelosi and Reid.

[vlad335]

Now. Anyone here actually believe that Obamacare will be repealed?

[DManA]

So now they look mean spirited AND spineless. Great job boys.

House Republicans on Thursday crumpled under the weight of White House

That's not news. They always crumple.

[April Lexington]

I feel like vomiting. The Party of Stupid© lives on...

Surrender Monkeys. The French are gulping in envy at Boner and his ability to cave.

God help the Republican robocallers who call me tonite....

I’m ready to explode

[World'sGoneInsane]

They were damned if they did, and damned if they didn't.

Dems in the Senate are the ones that need to go.

The next Republican president should have two years of both houses.

The Republican's need the opportunity that the current powers that be failed at.

So remind me again, we want the GOP to be the majority party because???????

[GreatJoeMcCarthy]

Did the Republican leadership really botch this thing for the whole nation to hear and read about over the long holiday? They didn’t really, did they? There has to be some kind of strategy here, right? I mean, they didn’t let the Democrats and Hussein Obama come across as the leaders and the tax cutters and the Republican as they bumbling, confused, cowering children following the lead of the adults, right? Explain this witchcraft!

The establishment Republicans have given the Tea Party public all the more reason to vote out the big-government neo-cons and replace them with limited-government, people for the people, Tea Party politicians. Hot on the heels of the news that the Republicans caved in on this botched mess, we get word that Bush 41 has endorsed Mitt Romney for the Republican nomination. Of course the big-government neo-cons love Romney. If this isn’t another indication that there is collusion between like-minded big-government pols on both sides of the aisle, I don’t know what is. Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama.. little significant difference among them, and more of the same with Romney or another Obama presidency. I’m just so angry... sorry for the wall of text.

The Congress must be full of a bunch of drunks. The MSM
is making them look like a bunch of fools.

Here we go again. Another stupid, unnecessary fumbling of the issue by the GOP, a last-minute cave and nice win for what I'm sure is a smirking Obama. Like everyone else, I'm sick and tired of the Republican party always, always, always caving into whatever the Democrats want. John 'crybaby' Boehner is useless, another go-along-get-along Washington 'pro' with what he thinks is a lifetime job as a congressman. At least when Gingrich was Speaker, he did manage to wring some actual concessions out of the Democrats. Boehner just talks tough for awhile - nobody listens anymore - then caves, right on schedule.

I'm a registered Republican and I'll vote in my states primary election but after that my wife, adult son and I are changing our voter registration to 'independent' because the Republican party left me a long time ago, it just took awhile for me to realize it. I started to suspect that something was wrong when Clinton skated past impeachment when the evidence was there to convict him but the Republican congress refused to act. I decided that the GOP simply feared Clinton's popularity and the media onslaught to defend him and demonize Republicans for daring to accuse him of an impeachable crime so I let it go. Then G.W. Bush seemed to always be expanding government and the federal debt but I gave him a pass because he was strong on national defense and cut taxes.

Now, we have Boehner and McConnell caving on this latest deal, which the GOP allowed the Democrats to characterize as a tax cut that Republicans wanted to deny poor, starving Americans, or some such rubbish. The usual PR blunders by the GOP. Nothing new, here. Then, Boehner predictably caves. I'm sick of this. The Republican party can go pound sand. They no longer represent me.

[Cheerio]

Time for the GOP to toss principals overboard, they have an election to win in Nov!!!!! Same crap we hear with the GOP elite pushing Mittens - it is all about winning.

I am in Michele Bachmann's camp and say NO to defunding Socialism Security. AND NOW THE DEMS ARE DESTROYING THEIR ALL-TIME FAVORITE SOCIAL PROGRAM????? What is going on here?

"We could be having this conversation 15 years from now and talking about how President Obama, as a Democrat, was the president that started the path to killing Social Security," said Jason Fichtner, a senior fellow at the libertarian Mercatus Center

[reg45]

So! Every two months, the ‘rats get to slather on another layer of pork.

[GreatJoeMcCarthy]

I want to put my head through a wall. How did the Republican leadership allow this to happen? Who came up with this plan?

They should have stood firm on this thing and deployed Chairman of Govt Reform Issa, Budget Committee Chairman Ryan, and Small Business Committee Chairman Graves to the national media to communicate the Republican philosophy to the American people.

Maybe in the next election the Tea Party can win enough seats so that we can replace the moderate Boehner and put in place a solid Tea Party guy who won’t cave to the neo-con liberal wing of the Republican party.

[mtnwmn]

All they are worried about is being re-elected. I’m sick of them.

[blasater1960]

Was Bayner in tears? Our Republic IS going down. May as well wait for it to collapse and then takeover.

[FryingPan101]

Well. Life before the Tea Party was a whole lot easier, huh, Mr Speaker?
