I've been watching for the past hour. A republic cannot forever withstand the likes of demagogues like Van Hollen, Hoyer, Levin, Maxine Waters and Elijah Cummings.

Lamp posts.

A Republic cannot stand when the Media - our arbiters of information - decide to stop reporting the News but instead become cheerleaders and propagandists for one side. The four folks you mention would not stand the scrutiny to last as demagogues if an unbiased Press corps would accurately report and ask serious questions.

I thought they were voting tax increases for million dollar earners. I did not see any tax cuts in the proposal?

This whole process is why nothing gets done in DC. They have to have a vote to go ahead with the vote!

I don’t understand this. Are they voting on whether or not to vote?

I’ll be half drunk! ha
So here’s latest: House in recess Boehner holding GOP meeting regarding Plan B..that doesn’t sound good, whipping for votes?
I don’t understand why they just extend all tax cuts & go home!
& throw it back in the RATS face..
Boehner needs to grow a pair & play these loons at their own game.

& now the media calling Plan B the “Boehner tax increase”! Nice job GOP..
