There is absolutely no dissention among the Democrats. They are all in lock-step with Obama.
It’s long past time for the Republicans to just say FU and go home for Christmas.
Obama knows (or thinks he knows) that if no deal is reached and we “go over the fiscal cliff” and bad things happen Boehner will not be Speaker after the mid-term elections. The voters can’t punish Obama so they will punish the Republicans prodded massively by the MSM.
It would seem to me that if any of the dems would have supported Bonehead’s stance, he would have opened up the floor to a full house vote. The fact he had less than 90% support in his caucus and none on the commie side of the aisle is quite telling to all except the MSM. Any informed person can see what is happening, the left and left of center’s don’t want to compromise one iota. Funny how the only ones who get nailed on this are the GOPs who cannot find their political ass with both hands.
