There are 60 some TP Nuts in the House, certainly not enough to control it. If Boehner were an actual leader, he would be able work with the remaining Repubs and most of the Dems, to get a plan passed. Hopefully they will get there.

Boehner is a RINO.

How many Progressive Nuts are there in Congress? Enough to crash this currency, our credit rating, and our economy. I bet you'll be doing a happy dance when your fellow comrades accomplish this goal.

Fat chance. The tea party is a sinking ship and ousted for the frauds they are, and no way in hell are they going to back Paul..
The only massive revolt going on is the middle class and american people for liberty, standing up from coast to coast against the ultra-right wing, america destroying, fascist takeover attempts by the far right.
The republicans are looking to take the whooping of a lifetime in 2012

Highly unlikely. The right wing goons will vote and support republicans no matter what they do or how bad they destroy the country

The republicans just keep showing that they are really democrats. But democrats are really republicans too. That is, they serve their master's (that own them both) and any "politics" that you see on TV is just to make you think their is a difference between them. Wake up already.

What is Mitch McConnell's motivation for this?

McConnelll is considering total surrender to Obama on raising the debt ceiling by passing a bill in the senate that will virtually give the white house unilateral power to raise the debt ceiling without it being attached to spending cuts. This will basically give Obama the power to raise the debt ceiling as he sees fit instead of having to go through the house and senate to raise the debt ceiling.

Total and utter cave. I'm very surprised
Obama needs to publicly voice that this would be a "very bad idea". That way, he could get the what remains of Repubs, and maybe even the TParty, to push it.

How is a compromise a total cave. Did the Republicans get nothing they wanted?

*munch, munch, munch*
Anyone else want some popcorn?
