Gas prices keep going up so now we have $40. to pay higher fuel prices. Do they think we are all stupid?

This could explain why Gingrich could say that they should give in, and also say that he supported Boehner, and not be lying about either. Maybe he knew this is what was coming.
The key will be to see if he denounces Boehner for this. If he does, it will prove that the stories yesterday were false, that he really DID want the house to stand up. If he says nothing more, it will show that he was simply signalling a strategy that we are now seeing.

How long before China gets fed up with “government by the minute” and stops borrowing us money to support it?

By their calculations, it's less than $20.00 per week! If gas prices, under Bowbama hadn't skyrocketed, it would mean anything. Doesn't mean much anyway...

Boehner screws the pooch again, in broad daylight.
You people have two choices:
Progressive social democrats = collectivism NOW
GOP = collectivism Tomorrow

First...why is it that the UK press is on top of this? Second, what happened to the XL Keystone pipeline approval being tied to this? And third, can we please say “Madam Speaker, Bachman?”

All of you, remember this. A third party means certain re-election for obama. A third party in 2008 would have meant certain election for obama. Oh, wait a minute! We all held our noses and voted for mccain and still got obama. How the hell did that happen? sarc

Thank you WSJ, John McCain, Scott Brown, Steve Schmidt and Mitch McConnell for knee-capping your own side at the most crucial moment.
We’ll get ‘em next time, though! (cough, cough). Now just tell us where to send those checks...

Worse than pathetic. What good has it done us to have the House under Republican control? They have given Obama EVERY SINGLE THING he has asked for.
Raise the debt ceiling by $2.5 trillion? Sure.
Continue initial funding for the implementation of Obamacare? Of course.
Stick around Washington looking like absolute chumps while the Senate goes home for the holidays? No problem.
It was exactly this type of weakness that got them voted out of office in the first place.

I think the House was trying to do the right thing, but once the Senate adjourned, it was game over. PR disaster for sure.
