I don’t know what anybody expected. After Boehner couldn’t get the republicans to vote for ANY of their own bills, and he couldn’t even get a majority to amend the Senate bill with spending cuts, what other choice does he have?
It is clear there are enough republicans who will support this plan, and since the conservatives have proven they will provide no support for anything that can pass, this is essentially what the conservatives have worked to achieve.
Certainly we are all smart enough to know this. If you wanted to push for purity, this was exactly what we were pushing for. A horrible bill, but it doesn’t have conservative support.
It remains to be seen if this is better than participating in the process.
RINO begone!
Why didn’t Boehner make “Plan B” just a little more acceptable to conservatives?
Do you think it wise to cut them out of participation?
(For goodness sake he could have got it passed if it had a cut on Big Bird in it- even Romney wasn’t afraid to come out for that!)
Why should the Party fight so hard to protect the few RINOs?
