  1. Dana Bash announces a deal has been made. Boehner will supposedly call for a vote on the senate plan fairly soon… Pubs get nothing but a kick down the road and income verification…

     

    1. You're correct and as U.S. Senator Saxby Chambliss (R-Georgia) said on NPR this morning, income verfication was already in the Affordable Healthcare Act, the Senate bill just tightens it up.

      The Republicans get nothing. They have wasted our time, damaged the economy and now want to blame everyone else for their irresponsible positions except themselves. The Republican Party needs to go the way of the Whig Party. We need a new political party to counterbalance the other party. The Republican Party is dysfunctional and has explicitly established its inability to govern. 

      1. It may take a while, but the gop will begin to move back from the edge of the abys they are currently considering jumping into.  I really want the sane conservatives back.

  2. New hunting grounds for the DSCC:

    The 18 senators who voted against the final deal are all Republicans: Tom Coburn (Okla.), John Cornyn (Texas), Mike Crapo (Idaho), Ted Cruz (Texas), Mike Enzi (Wyo.), Chuck Grassley (Iowa), Dean Heller (Nev.), Ron Johnson (Wis.), Mike Lee (Utah), Rand Paul (Ky.), Pat Roberts (Kansas), Jim Risch (Idaho), Marco Rubio (Fla.), Tim Scott (S.C.), Jeff Sessions (Ala.), Richard Shelby (Ala.), Pat Toomey (Pa.), David Vitter (La.).

  3. Passed in the House 285-144.

    Representative Pelosi guarranteed 197 votes, got more, (B)oehner earned a capital first letter in his last name by breaking the hastert rule and doing his job. He even voted for it. Between 85-90 redlegs voted for thier country.

    Now, 7Feb14 we have this to deal with again. Senator Sanders and Rep. Grayson were livid that the White House didn't hold out for the 1 year minimum on the Debt Ceiling, but my sense is that Dan Pfeifer and the staff believed it might be a bridge too far.

     

    1. Rocco — my understanding is that if the deal was longer than Jan 15, it would have locked in the next round of sequester cuts to the tune of around $30billion, if I recall correctly.  

      But, yes, we get to have another round of brinkmanship in just 3 months.  We'll see if the GOP has learned anything.  They will be craftier for sure, but hopefully chastened.  The Tea Party is unlikely to have any influence next time.  

      Ted Cruz is singing soprano from now on. 🙂

  4. I happened to surf across Hannity and stopped for awhile.

    He is furious and shrieking his outrage…what fun to watch.

    The new message is….you're gonna regret this, liberals, just you wait..

    As MADCO would say, bwahahahahahaha!!!
