I’m glad the House GOP held to its principals. First time in quite a while I’ve been happy with them.

Right. Why is it that the Repubs show some brass only when they are in the minority, though? Frustrating.

For the first time in quite a while, THEY'RE with US.

You may be right about that but I wonder if many of them have principles, outside of a few like Shelby and DeMint.

Likely being shut out of the house conference on the bill did the trick,

You don't vote for our bill? You do not get to participate in governance.

I guess we are verginng on an evolution from a Republic to a Parliament, with Obama as King and Ram Manual as Count Metternich.

They only did it because they had nothing to lose. The GOP is as spineless as ever. Big whoop...they stood up when they knew they would lose. More grandstanding from a bunch of worthless losers who got us in the mess we are in today with their poor leadership.

We had it all...white house, congress, senate...they let the minority own them with absolutely no fight. This is all about 2010 election ads and nothing else.
