Mitch has surrendered. Thankfully, the house republicans have not.

[Carling]

The House should demand a simple majority vote instead of 2/3.

McConnell: Incompetent, fearful, or both?

[squarebarb]

I couldn’t believe this at first but it appears to be true—mcConnell’s caving in like this.

Is he schizophrenic? this is insane to say ‘nothing can be done until this guy is out of the white house’ and then turn around and propose this!!

A man this scattered and unstable should not be in Congress at all. Kentucky repubs, get him out! He’s totally untrustworthy and is apparently liable to say absolutely anything.

"Thankfully, the house republicans have not. "

Thankfully, the house republicans have not...Yet...

Just the "blink" in the Senate will be enough to secure obamao's 2nd, 3rd, and 4th terms...

From a Republican aide who would know

Now there's an irrefutable source.

At least not all Senators from Kentucky are spineless wimps

I hate to say it but Obama may have been right when he said only professional politicians understand that we need to raise the debt limit.

they all need to go

[ScottinVA]

Who the f*** does McConnell think he is, committing the House to anything?????

[constant]

What’s the name of this brave speaker.
The only one to speak for us?
If I had the means to run for
office, I would. There would be
no shutting me up on the right
side of the costitution.

[RummyChick]

I hope the House doesn’t back down. Boehner might have but I think there are others that won’t..so he won’t.

Thank goodness they have to be worry about getting votes every two years.

[ScottinVA]

Can always count on the GOP to throw Obama a lifeline. They got my hopes up this time that they were going to stand firm. I was effing stupid to believe that. Shame on me.

RSC Chair Shoots Down McConnell Plan

July 12, 2011 7:05 P.M. By Andrew Stiles

Rep. Jim Jordan (R., Ohio), chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee, tells NRO that while he hasn’t review all the details of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R., Ky.) “contingency plan,” he doesn’t see much of a future for it in the House. “Look, we’re for cut, cap and balance,” he says. “[McConnell's plan] doesn’t fly with me, and I don’t think it’s going to fly with conservatives over here in the RSC.”

WTG Mitch, you fool.

[Rome2000]

McConnell makes the guy in the box at the wake look like a break dancer.

The Washingtonians will NEVER do the right thing voluntarily.

Until the "leadership" of the GOP is purged and replaced by outsiders, it will be business as usual.

[beaversmom]

You can count on the Republicans, they will always let you down.

[Mariner]

In all of this debate it's important to remember that 70% of the American people oppose ANY increase in the debt limit.

What could then be the motivation of the RINOs and Dims?

Nothing but power...over you and me.
