Will urge House Republicans to vote for deal and expects federal government to reopen Thursday.

[jkr]

SURE YOU DID...

[jllundqu]

And we'll be right back here in 3 months... the crisis continues.

[FSP-Rebel]

Oh, you were on the winning team alright, John. Let's be clear about that. Harry is the dominatrix up there while John is the sub.

Boehner is making us hurl

We're watching him fight like a girl

And if he can't win

He'll do a quick spin

And finish his jabs with a twirl

The Limerick King

[RonPaulFanInGA]

Boo-Hoo Boehner surrendered.

[DamianTV]

"We hope you enjoyed the Dog and Pony Show, sponsored by The Federal Reserve Bank!"

/sarcasm

[Seraphim]

3 months is not a victory for either party and it sure as hell is not a victory for the American People.

Flush all these turds down the toilet.

[AngryCanadian]

I doubt the house Republicans will vote for it.

If a Bear Shits in the woods, can we just throw these Turds in the Woods where the Bear Shits as well? Pile is probably getting pretty big out there...

[JK/SEA]

its nice to know how much work WE have to do....


i believe the Ron Paul Revolution is having a major impact on the current state in Congress...


no time for whining or pouting or giving up...

[HOLLYWOOD]

Boehner is just another establishment clown, all worried about reelections, serving the money masters, GOP donors, and the continuance of the private-corporatist government club of their privileges.

Did Boehner get the 3.8% property tax removal from ACA? Nope
Did Boehner get the med device tax removed for ACA? Nope
Did Boehner get the Congressional DC ObamaCare subsidies .gov privileged removed? Nope

ALL of these snakes in the Senate and House just compromised to save their own careers and asses at the expense of the taxpayers and middle classes. The debt ceiling is once again raised out to February 2014, same garbage, same con games. Just buying time for a new strategy to raising the debt pile, sticking the taxpayers/people with debt and inflation, and looking for that lawyered-up movie script for the ignorant mundanes to believe in.


Fuck this clown.. he's garbage and absolutely worthless to conservatives, US Constitution, or the taxpayers.

[Cowlesy]

I really don't care.

Dems have the Senate and Presidency. Most of us could've told you weeks ago this is how it was going to end.

There's no conceivable way that Boehner was going to let the U.S. go into an "effective" default, and risk him being the pawn to which all fingers point for a new financial crisis.

Only thing I'm mad about it is having to hear about it daily.

[anaconda]

I doubt the house Republicans will vote for it.

Only need 18 to join the Dems. Maybe Boehner can switch to the Democratic Party. Like Arlen Specter.

[anaconda]

Can we get those "You're Fired" posters back that we used in 2008? The ones where the picture of our Congress person that voted for the bailouts appeared against a backdrop of the Constitution with the words "You're Fired." Shall we send them to Congress members voting for the Senate bill?

[juleswin]

Followed by giving her girl Nancy standing opposite the podium a wink and a nod :)

[69360]

I doubt the house Republicans will vote for it.

Some will and all the dems will, that's enough for it to pass.

HELL YES!

[angelatc]

Looks like Bohener is a fan of the non-aggression principle. He refuses to be aggressive with the Democrats.

[NorthCarolinaLiberty]

Did he cry on TV again?

[angelatc]

I doubt the house Republicans will vote for it.
He's selling out the party. Usually Speakers won't bring a bill to the floor for a vote unless there is enough members of their own party to get it passed. In this instance, Boehner does not have enough GOP votes but he's going to bring it up anyway (if he didn't already) and give the Dems everything they want while steamrolling the GOP.

[AngryCanadian]

Boehner wants to pass it with the Dems Votes.

WASHINGTON — Coming out of a closed-door meeting Wednesday afternoon, in which Speaker John A. Boehner explained to his conference that he would be taking up the Senate deal and likely passing it with the help of Democratic votes, Republican lawmakers were already regrouping for the next fight.

[69360]

Boehner must have some secret deal in place to remain speaker for him to do this.

[NoOneButPaul]

If any of these fools had any balls they'd do the right thing and force us to default.

And I had a $20 bet at work going with 5-1 odds that we would default.

Guess i'll be paying up... still holding out hope something goes wrong in the House.

[angelatc]

Their next fight should be to get him out of the Speaker's chair.


We need a real man, like Nancy Pelosi, in there. They just keep letting the Demoncrats steamroller them, over and over again.

[NorthCarolinaLiberty]

Guess i'll be paying up... still holding out hope something goes wrong in the House.

Turn off your TV and save your money.

[Peace&Freedom]

In this instance, Boehner does not have enough GOP votes but he's going to bring it up anyway (if he didn't already) and give the Dems everything they want while steamrolling the GOP.

That's the longer term victory for us. Boehner had to explicitly sell out the liberty/TP people of backbone, out in the open for the world to see. The spend and borrow, sold out to the elite interests hack GOP crowd win the battle now, we win the war later. The last time the Republican hacks betrayed the TP folks in 2011, more liberty/TP people took office or gained influence in the election that followed. Watch for still more gains in the mid-terms as a result of the current cave, in addition to a rematch on this issue each time the can is kicked down the road.

What's the bought-and-paid-for Republican leadership going to do when there's 100+ TP people to contend with in a year, or the years beyond? This is speeding up the cleaning out of the riff-raff in Congress faster than outright pro-liberty pick-ups, as it is re-energizing the Tea Party sentiment of unyielding resistance to the current regime. Despite being overpowered at present, we can win this war via wearing out the old establishment, just as the colonists eventually wore out the British in the Revolutionary war.

Here's Bonehead's (I mean Boehner's) Facebook comment on the cave, and the heated feedback that followed:

LOL aggressive? Is that what we're calling the COMPLETELY STUPID strategy to pick at Obamacare by shutting down the govt, putting people out of work, and lowering the US credit rating? Who DIDN'T see this coming? OF COURSE BONER had to make a deal.

[devil21]

Watching the CSPAN Senate feed, it's interesting to watch which Senators interact with each other and how. I just watched Cruz and McCain joyfully shaking hands, slapping each other on the back and exchanging pleasantries. Rand was standing right next to them chatting with McConnell. McCain walked over to McConnell for the same handshake. Rand and McCain did not so much as acknowledge each other and Rand walked away and started talking to some other Senator.

[NorthCarolinaLiberty]

Old goats like McCain and Graham can't stand Paul. Paul's presence makes them refill their Viagra prescriptions.

I'm sure it'll have a huge impact on them.

LOL at the concept of there being a better plan.

[angelatc]

That's the longer term victory for us.

You're probably right. I keep praying I'll have a stroke or something so I can stop caring about all this. I'm quite weary of settling for long term victories.

[jclay2]

If this doesn't prove to the sheeple that both parties are cooperatively trying to kill us, I don't know what will. This bill will give the president the authority to raise the debt limit as needed unless the congress overrides him with a two thirds majority. The GOP might has well just pointed a gun in its mouth and pulled the trigger. This is unfreaking believable.

[NorfolkPCSolutions]

Ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to Washington DC
Home of the Ass Clown
Step right up into the 3, 000 ring circus of The Beltway
And witness the impossible
See them grovel, see them lie, see them crawl on their bellies
See real live white collar terrorists in their own natural habitat
See the Department of Homeland Security perfecting new ways of drowning black people
While our health care is subsidizing corporate drug dealers aiding big government and
Spying on everybody

I want to go to the circus
The circus of power
The circus they call Washington
A circle of dishonor
I want to round up the senators
Just like they did in Rome
Feed these Ass Clowns to the lions
Then I can go home

I wanna see it go up in flames

[Chorus]
Ass Clown
You're going down

I want to blow up the circus
Bring down the circus of lies
The ultimate goal and purpose
Is no Ass Clown survives
I want to line up the congressmen
And strap them to their missiles
Then I'll point them at their temples
Then I'll wave goodbye!

I wanna see it go up in flames

[Chorus]
Ass Clown
You're going down

See them stroke each other with bribes as they try on new shades of brown lipstick
See them circle jerk to the latest photos of torture victims
Ass Clown

I hate the three-ring circus
Under the bigtop of deceit
The circus maximus of arrogance
The circus maximus of greed
I want to line up all the judges
And take a gavel to their heads
Only then will there be justice
When all these Ass Clowns are dead

Does it just give the President the power to raise the debt ceiling unilaterally in February when the debt ceiling is reached again? Or does it actually give President Obama permanent authority to raise the debt ceiling at will?

[Bastiat's The Law]

its nice to know how much work WE have to do....


i believe the Ron Paul Revolution is having a major impact on the current state in Congress...


no time for whining or pouting or giving up...

Time to get back to brass tacks and elect OUR people to Congress.

[NorfolkPCSolutions]

John Boehner fought the good fight in the same way that a fat kid turned down a piece of cake.

And then greedily devoured it.

Time to organize and primary all these pantspissing authoritarian dictatorial asswipes.

[jclay2]

Does it just give the President the power to raise the debt ceiling unilaterally in February when the debt ceiling is reached again? Or does it actually give President Obama permanent authority to raise the debt ceiling at will?

It looks like you are right.


That mechanism would utterly defang the debt ceiling, returning it to its historical place as an opportunity for ineffectual posturing rather than extortion. Alas, it only applies to the next debt-ceiling vote. But Democrats hope that using this method this time will set a precedent that eases the way for Congress to make it a permanent procedure. It seems unlikely to happen anytime soon, but the groundwork is being laid to one day lock up dangerous weaponry lying around the American political system and prevent future crises.

Edit: So does this mean they can do I gigantic multitrillion dollar increase for the next vote while they have the two thirds majority rule in place, possibly ending this fight past 2014 midterms?

[Brett85]

It looks like you are right.

Yeah, it's still not good, but not as bad as it would be if they had given President Obama permanent power to raise the debt limit unilaterally whenever he wanted to.

[bunklocoempire]

...as well as anything else any of them said today (any day). Just caught Bush III putting it all behind him.

I had no idea it was going to go this way... :rolleyes:

Boehner has to be removed as speaker no matter who replaces him, his treachery can't go unpunished.

[anaconda]

I'm sure it'll have a huge impact on them.

It's better than a letter. They pay some attention to snail mail.

[anaconda]

What will be the extent of the Tea Party blow back from this?

[devil21]

Yeah, it's still not good, but not as bad as it would be if they had given President Obama permanent power to raise the debt limit unilaterally whenever he wanted to.

I am pretty sure this will be included in the next plan that will be formulated in the next couple months. They're going to ditch the debt ceiling entirely in some form.

Well written post, my friend. May I add that I believe the civil war in the party is about to reach fever pitch. Not sure what this means for 2014/2016.

What if we gave the Dems everything they want for 3 years and let them own the debacle in front of the voters? I'm tired of the Republicans getting the blame.

[AFPVet]

Unfortunately, Boehner just couldn't keep it up :p

[muh_roads]

Boehner is a giant sloppy pussy that looks like a bulldog with mayonnaise on its face.

[PaulConventionWV]

Sure, whatever you say. I think it really will have a huge impact. No joke, seriously. Not kidding, at all. Well, maybe a little...

In fact, they'll probably kick their own asses out of office in shame and humiliation at disappointing the people who elected them because they just care so much what we think.

We now have definitive proof that Boehner wouldn't know how to fight a good fight if it jumped up and bit him in the ass.

[Cleaner44]

What fight has Boehner ever led the Republicans to win? Has this guy ever been successful at limiting government? Has he ever produced a win for fiscal responsibility?
