GOP aide confirmed and said it would take place later Thursday evening.

I am thankful for the 25, but that is absolutely pathetic that there are that few people who will keep their word and stand like patriots. We are in deep deep trouble and sticking with republicans is not the answer.

something has to pass the Dem senate and get Obama’s signature

Wrong! How about forcing Obama to spend less without raising the debt!!

[Cementjungle]

Hannity is saying indefinetly?

Any delay past his hour of programming time is pretty much "indefinately". You have to think in TV scheduling terms.

[reaganaut1]

Exactly right.

Erick Erickson House GOP 2 votes short.

The Senate can’t take the bill up until it is officially presented to them by the House. If the bill was passed today, Boehner could wait until tomorrow to present it to the Senate if he wanted. The only likely case of delay is lack of necessary votes to pass.

it matters how Republicans come out of this battle politically.

Here is your, Boehner's and all other RINO's mental flaw.

While you and Republican RINOs are concerned only about politics, the TRUE conservatives are worried about the very existence of our nation and are fighting accordingly.

Politics be damned! FULL SPEED AHEAD!!!

“And no matter what you think, it matters how Republicans come out of this battle politically.”

I absolutely agree. This is an extremely important issue, but no one is thinking how this relates to 2012. A mishandling of this could be handing the communist 4 more years. Instead, everyone is simply putting all their chips in on this debt ceiling issue (don’t get me wrong, it’s important) rather than looking at the bigger picture which is defeating obama and taking control of the senate. I don’t get it.

I tweeted my Rep Mr Dennis Ross FL-12 - and he said he is a "NO" and informed the speaker of that about 5hrs ago.

From other sources it says that the Speaker can lose 22-24 Republicans. Looks like it's either way too close or they are short.

Reid said he will kill it if it passes. The house voted on a perfectly fine bill last week with bi-partisan support. The Cut, Cat & Balance bill - the Senate shelved it. It is not dead.

My Rep is standing on Conservative principles and he has my support.

Cory Gardner, from Colorado, announced that he will support the plan.

Washington got to him.

That's too bad - he was promising.

Boehner’s bill is not conservative. It allows for huge overspending for years with total nonsense for controls. It is no loss if it goes down.

[bayliving]

I am thankful for the 25

We need to know who these 25 are NOW so we can call them and give them our encouragement and support!!!

[Outraged At FLA]

He doesn’t have the votes!

[Terry Mross]

It’s hard to believe boner wouldn’t have announced he was sending it to the senate with such conviction if he didn’t have the vote. Thought you may be right. I know if this is the case he’s going to cry like a baby.

Obama needs the debt increase to help with his reelection ,lots of payoffs

[bayliving]
