we better hope that this DELAY results in a better bill passing House soon because judgment day is near.

The problem here is the old men up there see a loss of spending as a loss of their power and influence, I mean the private jets and little whores go away, if they are no longer able to perform tricks for their K street masters.

Amen to that. And with that. When I am about to sign out for the night, morning wish the last Freeper... do have a great upcoming day.

Let’s say Boehner needs 2 more YES votes but there are 5 Tea Partiers voting NO. Suppose those 5 abstain from this vote, and the others stay the same, and now he has more YES votes than NO. Doesn’t the bill pass?

Those NO voters would have to decide if an abstention contradicted the promises they made to the voters.

I understand that they are trying to achieve real spending cuts, but that is hard to do when the enemy controls the senate and presidency. I am concerned that they will give Obama a weapon for 2012, Right now Obama owns the economy, but the GOP could share that ownership if they are not careful.
