IT'S OFFICIAL: HOUSE PASSES FISCAL CLIFF BILL
Business Insider ^ | 01/01/2013 | Joe Weisenthal and Grace Wyler

Posted on 01/01/2013 8:07:58 PM PST by SeekAndFind

After a long day of fiscal cliff chaos, the House will finally hold a vote tonight on the fiscal cliff bill passed by the Senate early Tuesday.

The decision to hold an up-down vote virtually guarantees passage of the bill, which would extend the Bush tax hikes for households earning under $450,000. that the bill will pass.

For most of the day, House Republicans have said that they could not support the bill without spending cuts, but by Tuesday night it was clear that GOP leaders could not come up with the votes to pass an amendment to add those cuts.

The House Rules Committee announced that there will be a vote on the unamended Senate bill in the 9 p.m. hour. Check out all of the days developments below.

A not so “pure” Franklin Marshall Davis” move by O’cocker and the DemWhores, plus the press that sucks O’cocker everyday. You'd think Michelle would be jealous.

The debt ceiling is where we have the leverage if we show a backbone.

That's funny right there - I don't care who you are.

Yoder was a “NO” vote, not that any of it matters at this point. Of course, the market will be happy and sparkly for a week and all the sheeple will think all is well. I’m thinking until February’s UE numbers get released.

Good for the house!

I hope all THEIR needs are fulfilled. I hope they don’t lose prestige or position on Washington.

I also hope that their life depended upon their vote. I can respect that. I mean, if, Bambi, in some way, threatened their lives or the lives. Of their families, sure. Ok, I’ll accept that.

But, I really don’t think that is the case. I think they are cowardly, greedy, little small membered, men who deserve no respect at all.

And if we continue to put up with this shit ....so are we.

Nailed it, my friend. Waiting for the galactically stupid to realize they have been rolled because they are galactically stupid, or black. What the communist has done to blacks, and by the democrat party, is tragic.

You didn’t embarrass yourself. You stood for what you believed in and that is never embarrassing.
