My sources tell me House Republicans have postponed tonight’s vote on their plan to end the fiscal impasse. “The votes aren’t there,” says a leadership aide. “We’ve been amending the bill all day, but we’ve been unable to get people around this strategy.”
This development leaves Speaker John Boehner with few options as Thursday’s debt-ceiling deadline nears, and it throws the action back toward the Senate, which has been working on a bipartisan package.
Good.
Hot potato continues.
Tea Party reps appear to be sticking to their guns.
Feel that maybe my phone calls and e-mails are doing some good, along with millions of other lovers of freedom.
Bi partizan package? Is THAT what they’re calling it?
Senate Repubs should abstain, all of them.
why don’t you guys all just blame George Washington and go on home for good.
We’ll take care of it.
Obama strategy:
- All or Nothing win-win position. Demand un-Constitutional powers of House appropriations and spending or threaten to crash the USA KNOWING his dominant media will blame only the GOP.
- Break off left-wing RINO GOP in the Senate. Split the party. Divide = conquered
-Create un-Constituional appropriation spending “bi-partisan” bill in the Senate.
- Isolate House GOP into capitulation.
Thank God for Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and ALL Tea Party reps!!
Somebody didn’t have the votes they needed
Back to the Senate.
Don’t just cancel the vote. Adjourn the house and go home. I would find a total collapse more entertaining than this pathetic circle jerk going on for 3 weeks now.
(YAWN)... So, what are they gonna call us tomorrow?
Which interstate highway system will you shut down?
Which schools will they order not to serve lunches?
Which doctors won’t get there Medicaid invoices met?
Send another mind-controlled freak on another shooting spree?
To the illegal immigrant currently residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue: Like we said before, you can rape us, humiliate us, beat us, imprison us, even kill us...
... and we still won’t surrender.
You see, We ARE America. We don’t just play one on TV.
Deal with it.
Finally they’re figuring it out. Let the Senate go first. Anything the house proposes Reid torpedoes. Now the shoe is on the other foot
Obama won’t negotiate so what’s the point?
all those reps that came to DC in that 2010 class on the TP bandwagon are quaking in their boots...they all need reelection ONE MORE TIME....get that coveted five years under their belts...worried about gettin primaried...
Reid Slams New House GOP Debt Limit Offer (Hissy fit) Roll Call ^ | 10/15/13 | Meredith Shiner
This is sooooo good. SHUT DOWN until they negotiate. It is the American way. Unions should love it!!! The Heritage Action Foundation (RUSH LIMBAUGH) stepped into remind conservatives that there was no more money if they caved— It panicked the conservatives.
Now I remind you that no bill goes to the floor that the leadership doesn’t send. That killed “discharge Petitions” so we are not supposed to have 17 socialist republicrats join 200 demorats in a winning vote. IF beohner tries to waive that —HE IS GONE. If cANTOR tries— He is gone. Tea Party is saving this nation from total ruin. Your calls and emails worked but at the end— it was common avarice and the 20 million fans of RUSH LIMBAUGH!!! They will really hate that!Heritage controls hundreds of millions in campaign contribution. THIS IS GR8
