Face it, we have no representation in Washington. The cuts we need to save this country will never happen....but hey, the GOP might come out of this looking okay. That's what's important, right?

[ken21]

if true,

some pubies will not be returning to congress in 2012.

[DonaldC]

What’s the saying, defeat ripped from the jaws of victory?

[henkster]

Once the House dems united to say they would unanimously vote no, they guaranteed passage.

[Dr. Thorne]

My hope is that this will spur the Tea Party to even greater action against both parties. More primary challenges = fewer RINOs.

[GoCards]

What does it matter, Senators arent voting for it and Bam Bam said hed veto??? right?

[AU72]

Brit Hume called it Monday night. “Boehner won’t have the votes tonight, Tuesday, but he will on Wednesday”.

[don'tbedenied]

I take it this board prefers default? Or maybe I just don’t understand what the preferred plan is if Boehner’s is not acceptable.

[PetroniusMaximus]

Look on the bright side, when this all shakes out we will have more people to hang for treason.

[Personal Responsibility]

When looking at a count on a vote like this it’s much more accurate to look at liberals vs. conservatives rather than republicans vs. democrats. Liberal republicans (read: RINO’s) vote along with liberal democrats (read: All of them) against conservative republicans (read: the TEA party and some other specific examples)

It’s a disgrace.

[Principled]

No, this is ok.

The good: Any blood will be on Reid’s and 0zer0’s hands. And it brings the issue up again next spring. That is no small thing. No tax increases.

The bad: no meaningful cuts whatsoever, brings down morale as we realize we can’t do it all right now, the GOP leadership felt it necessary to blow sunshine up our asses.

[Truth29]

At what point will the old guard GOP push the tea party out and create the fertile ground for a real third party? Also, will the GOP even care that they guarantee an Obama second term and their own minority status?

[EGPWS]

The GOP has been handed a razor blade by the dimocrat’s and they are following the enclosed instructions and using it on their collective wrist.

[comebacknewt]

Since Obambi has already said he will never sign the Boehner Bill, why not pass a bill that actually CUTS SPENDING?!?!?

Passing a crap bill and then having it rejected as "too extreme" on top of that is the worst possible outcome for the GOP.

Idiots!

[Huck]

Didn’t Reid say it was DOA? So what difference does it make?

[Tex-Con-Man]

After listening to the reasoned and well-informed Paul Ryan on Hannity, I tend to agree with him. He's backing the Boehner plan.

[ez]

Once Reid and Obama see how hard it was just to get this lousy bill through the House, they will sign onto it as the best they can hope for.

[americanophile]

Calm down folks. We haven't the numbers to force the issue. If we don't compromise, and the result is either a partial government shutdown or negative economic repercussions, I assure you that Republicans will receive the blame. Save your powder for 2012 when we have a real chance to unseat Obama and pick up sufficient seats in the Senate to enact meaningful change.

[Gator113]

After we go into a full blown Depression, market crash, lose our homes, jobs, treasures and retirement funds, would someone please remind me of how this makes a difference, one way or the other.

Intelligent life does not exist in DC.

I’m getting a headache.

[dforest]

Say this passes the House. Will it pass the Senate?

No it will not. Obama doesn’t want a solution of any kind.

[abcc2011]

This makes me sick. What a waste of time this whole sham has been. It's ridiculous. I've had my fill of both the Democrats AND the Republican. They are both the establishment. John Boehner is a sissified punk. Somehow I knew I was right in holding back praising him for his stand. Now he's imploded. He said Obama is like Jello, but he, himself is nothing but an old bag of hot air. He needs to be defeated. He's a crybaby now, just wait until after election day 2012. Sissy punk!!
