The Hill ^ | 12/12/13 | Erik Wasson and Russell Berman

The House on Thursday approved a two-year budget deal that turns off $63 billion in sequester spending cuts, handing a major victory to Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio.).

Large majorities in both parties backed the bill in a 332-94 vote.

Only 62 Republicans defected despite harsh criticism of the deal by conservative groups that said it did too little to cut spending.

There needs to be GOPe blood on the floor this primary season. A lot of it.

IIRC, Boehner said that amnesty wasn’t dead, and that he thought it was possible that something regarding amnesty would happen in the not-too-distant future.

I figure it’ll be after the primary season.

A done deal- by cronies and for cronies- written in secret in a back room.

Wil we even have a country in November 2014?

The GOPe has declared WAR on conservatives in the party.
Want them driven out. Pass the popcorn, it’s the TEA parties move.

We need to work harder during the 2014 elections to advance conservatives across the spectrum.

Good by Boehner.

Watch this party commit suicide in 2014.

They are taking their best shot at absolute victory and throwing it away.

“Victory”?

I am likely not voting Republican in November 2014. They can keep their RINO’s, period.

The system corrupts them faster than we can vote them out. Nothing but term limits will EVER work.

I predict Boehner Republicans will have a difficult time in their primaries.
Them and the Democrats vote for more govt.

They wouldn’t do anything good with it anyway. These are bad people through and through.

Well, the physical country will be here. But there will no longer be a constitutional republic to go along with it.

Like Romney, Boehner attacked conservatives
more than has EVER confronted the criminals in the DNC.

Yes, the Republicans are soooo stupid that they don’t realize the conservatives they’re forcing to sit out elections will defeat them. Sooooo stupid!

Here’s hoping. But I just don’t see it. They know we’ll “hold our nose and vote” for them in the General so why try to be Conservative?
