What really changed is that Reid and Obama did not want the House to pass Plan B. It would have sent all the slop over to the Senate, which is totally dysfunctional. Reid pocketing a bill would not absolve him responsibility.
The GOP far right made a decision based on primaries in their own districts in 2014 rather than bitch slapping Obama and Reid tonight - and thru the holiday week.
This is now a rerun of last year’s payroll tax disaster.
I diagree. I think once Obama saw the GOP fold on taxes for those over 1M he’d come out and say something like “I’m glad Republicans are finally starting to get serious. I still believe in a balanced approach and that we need to restore the taxes on high earners over 250 back to the Clinton days, they’re just isn’t enough revenue from just those over 1M, etc...” and the media would have covered for him and backed him up and forced the GOP to concede even further.
At some point they have to stand up to Obama and see where it takes them.
I say hold out and see how things look when it really gets down to business on the 31st.
You mean they actually represented their constituents? Hard to fathom...
Yes, what exactly is “far right”? What should this sinister faction have done tonight? Bob
Far right, you mean like us Conservatives?
You do realize this is a Conservative site right?
