Pelosi: House Dems will look at deal after Senate passage
Washington Post ^ | 12/31/12 | Felicia Sonmez

Posted on 12/31/2012 7:37:54 PM PST by Libloather

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Monday night that she will present the fiscal cliff deal to House Democrats as soon as it’s approved by the upper chamber.

“I understand at the present time, Senate Democrats are meeting with the Vice President,” Pelosi said in a statement. “When a final agreement is reached and passed by the Senate, I will present it to the House Democratic Caucus.”

My guess is, she is in charge of the House since it looks like John Boehner has abdicated. It really doesn't matter, because as a conservative, I have zero, zip, nada representation in Washington.
16 Trillion, 25 Trillion, 50 Trillion, 100 Trillion. It really doesn’t matter, the smart guys have pissed this formally great nation away.

Sadly, it would still be in the realm of possibility that Boehner and Cantor are thinking of meeting with her in a sign good will, and bipartisanship.

I don't trust Boehner, Cantor, or McCarthy as far as I can spit. The Gutless Trio.

RE “Pelosi: House Dems will look at deal after Senate passage”

Bohner will pass a deal made with O in the House using Pelosi votes.
That was pretty much assured with rejection of Plan B, and maybe anyway. And no one will challenge Bohner as Speaker because no-one wants that job,

I got the Dem channel on now, Rev Al just called in and said he supports this deal because of the extension of unemployment comp, but he will support ANYTHING O does. He never disagrees with him.

They (MSNBC) are now also saying that many Dems in the Senate didn't like the $250K # and they like the $400/450K # much better because many Dems in lib states make big $$$.
This reminds me of my extend up to $100K idea back 2 months ago, to see if Dems go for it.

Boner is going to let everyone vote as they please this time-no arm twisting.

Needless to say no Republican from my state (SC) is going to vote for a tax increase on anybody.

The Dems and RINOs are gonna own this train wreck.

The story I read said that the African communist Ubanga expects the deal will pass only if enough “moderate” Republicans join the rats when the House votes.

Why not just do what Nan always does? Pass it, then find out what’s in it.

RE :”Yeah, like the union bosses!”

There is a split here, some Dems demand taxes go up on over $250K, they are the true redistribution-ists(principled Marxists), others Dems make big $$$ or get $$ from them and they want the higher threshold $400K to protect them.
What does O want? To be seen as winning.

Obama is great at taking advantage of internal R party disagreements to destroy them, Rs need to learn how to play that cynical game.

I would have agreed with you until an hour ago.
Then I realized I was getting caught up in all these Bad DC Kabuki Dances.
I don’t think Bonehead is going to make his House Rino Monkeys vote
for any Tax Increases. His Rinos are the source of his power.
Instead, he will let the automatic tax increases come and then allow a
vote to Reduce Taxes on certain groups.
A vote for tax reduction is a much easier vote, than putting his valued
Rinos neck on the line.
I will be very surprised if the senate votes for a tax increase, as well.

Why don’t you just sign it so we can all see what’s in it?

If neither of our political parties is willing to stand firm on spending cuts, bankruptcy cannot be avoided.

So, if the Democrats and RINOs are able to approve the current budget deal that does not cut spending, our debt would be out of control and our bonds would turn to junk.

Why would Bonehead put Rinos, the source of his power neck on the line?
My prediction. He won’t. There will be no vote on raising taxes on the rich.

Agreed.
Any Republican who enables the African communist and his rats to confiscate more money from working, taxpaying, traditional American families (the “Republicans base”) in order to continue buying the votes of the ignorant moocher class (the “Democrat base”) will get primaried out of office so fast his ass will go through the door before his face does.
And they all know it.
