Capitol Hill reporters on Twitter writing Speaker Boehner has dropped Plan B fiscal cliff vote tongiht after revolt from House Republican caucus. House will recess until after Christmas.
After raucus closed dooor House GOP meeting, Boehner says House has already passed bills to cut spending and taxes to avert fiscal cliff and the ball is the court of the Senate and President Obama.
Dems want tax increases for EVERYONE..even that Commie schmuck said so..so now they will get what they want, tax increases for everyone, and they will get to blame Republicans for it..so they get the best of both worlds
I thought that was plan b?
This bill would have protected middle class small business...restaurant franchise owners and the like. Now these businesses will have to fire employees.
At least you are not claiming that this was a tax increase bill.
That was the lie that killed the bill.
Now our taxes go up. On the Marxist channel Ed Schultz and CO are cheering this defeat right now, their work done on the GOP inside
Was typing so fast forgot to name the schmuck..Howard Dean
Maybe the Mayans were on to something.
Agree on the sequestration and the supercommittee.
Gingrich called them on it immediately..so did Cain.
Right ... who has the backbone to rally the troops?
Dems are dancing in the aisles not that their Dem-lite surrogate has handed them what they want.
Beohner has been unimpressive from the start.
Yep they will get the blame from low-information voters and the press. But I am tired of politicians who know better being so scared of stupid people and corrupt people. Instead they need to speak the truth of the matter to these people in the same way that Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levin and Thomas Sowell explain these issues, and let the chips fall where they may.
S&P’s have fallen out of bed. I guess jerking all those junior Tea Partiers out of committee roles wasn’t such a good idea, eh, Boehner...
That’s what they didn’t vote on tonight because Boehner didn’t have enough GOP votes
why would the dems have accepted it even if it passed the House. Reid would just have let it die in the Senate like all the other House GOP bills. I don’t really see the big deal here. what really changed with this going down?
The GOP just gave it to him
Fire Him, Put him back into a normal seat, without any committees... Elect a New Speaker!
I think you meant that for Deo volente
It could have been any of those commie schmucks
Thsnks for your help.
I need to study up some more on this, it’s difficult to keep up with it some times.
The Dems would have blocked the bill in the Senate anyway..this bill was garbage anyway..taxing ANYONE during a recession is a horrible horrible idea..at least some in the GOP have a spine to say no to this nonsense but the media will do what it always does, blame the Republicans when taxes go up(But fail to mention how the Dems want the taxes to go up on EVERYONE)..its a lose lose situation..when you have a moron watching this on TV who voted for Obama for the freebies it wont matter to them anyway
Dammit!!!
The smartest thing the Repellican Party could do is adopt the Tea Party completely and help the Tea Party to refine and polish it's candidates into principled winners without the expensive consultant/lobbyist industry types. Candidates with focus, sincerity and disgression coupled with able expression will go far to restore the republic's respectability!!!
Put the "professional" Repellican to work raising money for a respectable, worthwhile series of winning campaigns that we conservatives don't turn on (against) at the drop of a hat!!!
Instead of constant bichin an gripin all the time, let's put together a series of bigger and bigger wins till our movement wins it all, once again!!!
We've got to wipe out these "Oh (BLEEP!) moments," once and for all time!!!
You make enough to pay taxes on? Be thankful.
I haven't seen positive income in 3 years.
Since Romney was nominated, I knew that whichever way it went, my customers were going to get creamed, and me with them.

The words “Fiscal Cliff” are a joke anyway..we already went off the damn cliff years ago when Obama started spending us to oblivion..we already went off the cliff
