The Reid/McConnell/Boehner Bill will pass, Obama will sign it in front of his fake greek columns, claim he saved the Republic and carry his grand victory and superb leadership into the 2012 election.
And Boehner will cry himself to sleep tonight.
The House needs to nut up and stand firm.
Measure Title: A bill to express the sense of the Senate on shared sacrifice in resolving the budget deficit.
Vote Counts: YEAs 76 NAYs 23 Not Voting 1
GOP Senators voting FOR "shared sacrifice" (AKA higher taxes!):
Not voting Wicker (R-MS)
Sen. Durbin from Illinois speaking-—representing the most bankrupt state in the Union.
Now there's a tactic I did not think was possible. This will put the ball back into the Senate court faster than they can pass their own bill.
Where’s Treasury Secretary Geithner? Senate Democrats have just ruined the 2nd chance to pass a bill.
Would this be considered a spending bill? If it is, they are supposed to originate in the House. I know DC ignores the Constitution most of the time...
>> I stuck my neck out a mile to get an agreement with the president of the United States, Boehner thundered from the floor after the vote
Bullshit! The Tea Party members you castigated are the heroes here, not you, Boehner!
And the few frauds that changed their Yea votes can go suck eggs.
Pass Boehners new, changed bill.
Conquer the MSM by going over their heads to reach the people.
In 2012 election write another bill for C,C, & B because you cant control future congresses...when we OWN THE SENATE, then we get the real change.
We keep on this purist path right now, Obama wins and makes us look like those who hurt the people.
Unfortunately, most are are simply purists, not pragmatist purists. We need to be (I am) the latter because of political realities. Small steps get it done no matter how drastic the steps required seem.
Am I as angry at the dems and Obama as you? You bet.
The new Boehner bill that was improved by the Tea Partiers ultimately will solidify our sides bonds...I would have liked to have seen 100% voting for it, however.
This country takes another step toward civil war/revolution. The Democrats, especially the Liberal Messiah, don’t care about what happens to the People; they just want victory. When they call for “compromise” they are demanding the Republicans unconditionally surrender.
My take on it is that nothing Reid has a part in will pass.
Boehner should adjourn the House, send them home and if the Senate passes his bill there is an increase and if they don’t there isn’t.
It’s just amazing hour nerd Reid and Duck Durbin can stand up there with a straight face and say they want bipartisan legislation while at the same time refusing to allow house bills to even be voted on. Plus, obamacare was passed by straight dem votes. The press lets them get away with this crap.
Then schumer says the house republicans can’t tie their shoes. I have no respect for republicans who take this and don’t fight back.

Can boehner kill the bill just like harry did?
If so, he can just say it’s DOA and refuse to debate it - until Harry allows debate on CCB
The Democrats have Boehner right where they want him...begging for a lousy Democrat proposal.
You don’t stick your neck out during a knife fight. Mortal wounds
