I truly hope this is because the Freshmen are holding the line.

Funny this happens after Sarah leaves the Facebook message.

He will BUY votes. Just as was done with Obamacare. These are POLITICIANS! It is how they operate...it is what they know...it is what they do.

And ABC is reporting that McConnell is brokering a Reid/Boner compromise.

Damnit NO!

If there really is a compromise, it will pass with Dem votes.

YEP. NO BONER TONIGHT. GOOD WORK.

Just send Cut, Cap and Balance to the Senate, DAMMIT.

Democrat radical on CNN is now doing "homekoroshi" 褒め殺し(sarcastic, Japanese political tactic) by praising Boehner and dissing "radical Republican tea partiers".

But if Boehner either doesn’t have the votes or barely has the votes, how will McConnell help him?

Mark Levin thinks the senate will change the bill and send it back to the house in Boneheads court. The foolish folks who supported this bill are about to be played.

“MESSIER THAN YOU THINK: If Boehner bill fails, it makes it trickier for anything to get through Senate. Dems need it as a vehicle.”

All the more reason to stand firm against it.

Need to throw this all into Dingy Harry’s lap. Tell him if he doesn’t like how things are going in the House to get off his ass and pass something in the Senate!

I see a lot of wishful thinking

No matter what happens we lose.

There is no way they are not going to raise the ceiling. There is no way they are going to cut trillions from the budget. Just is not going to happen.

I don’t see any possible way to win this. Nothing being discussed comes ANYWHERE CLOSE to what is needed to be done.

Maybe some but there are rumors some of the old conservative guard are holding strongly.

GOOD.

No bill is better than a bad bill.

Interesting timing isn’t it.

I don’t want to get my hopes up very high, but it is starting to look like the Tea Party Republicans are in NO MOOD to get rolled by ‘the establishment’.

It has to be hell there, but, like I’ve always said, the Tea Party Republicans have 2 objectives in Washington:

1) Clean the place up (i.e., balance the budget).
2) Go back home to their families and get on with life.

This gonna set back Reid’s timetable? (senate)

I think it just blowed up real good. Dems needed it. This is getting very interesting and very complicated.

My goodness, has God Himself intervened? So many are people are praying and mourning the demise of the USA, agonizing and lamenting over our great fall from God. We are indebted to those on their knees, these quiet warriors.
Let us all thank God for Christian patriots at work in DC and in so many praying households. Who would have thunk it?

Unless our goal is to collapse the whole system. Which, of course, has a lot of risk.

There is a lot of risk being in debt 14 trillion dollars. That will rise to 20-25 trillion over the next 8-10 years.

Try to imagine THAT number. Let alone 14 trillion.

I haven’t seen a full list. A couple names but that’s it.

That’s the plan. The Senate Dems will do that for sure. Levin is sharp as a tack and on target on that one.

Pray for House members holding strong. And thank you to them for doing so.

Amen!

Shut it down! Plug the spigot. Tear up the credit card, and put these children in their room without supper. It ain’t rocket science, we’re BROKE! QUIT SPENDING!

Kudos Jason Chaffitz and Jim Matheson of Utah, both Bohner Nays.
