hi tkc,

boehner got the shaft.

no way that he is in control. he just suffered a humiliating defeat. will possibly lose his job come january. this is still about the sheer inflexibility of the republican house.

amazing that these guys won't surrender to the wishes of the majority of americans.

but it is a deep flaw in the constitution that the clear winner still cannot govern.

if it is to function at all, this republican party needs to be replaced by something very different.

Hi all, I speculate that the Speaker put plan "B' out there (w/ Cantor saying publicly they had the votes) as a negociating tactic to get the WH to cave - then if the WH didn't cave - he'd hold the vote and ask his caucus to defeat it just to show the WH he couldn't even get a much weakened revenue increase to pass. Just all bluster. I'm prepared to go over the cliff if that is what it takes - this really is war. Good luck to us all.
