They voted against the very thing that the Senate will vote against.

Ron Paul & Michelle Bachmann didn't vote for it.
Wonder why.

Boehner's new deal adds 7 trillion to the debt in 10 years????


I can see perfectly why 22 members voted no.

What I don't understand is why there were not more no votes, from the so called Conservatives, wearing an R

The way i see it none of us really win. We should of never gotten to this situation we currently are in, becuase of greed on both sides of the aisle. I am pissed at both sides.

Can't the two sides, kiss and come together for the sake of us the people.

A win is when the American people are served, not congressmen. This bill is all about congressmen and women getting re-elected. Nothing more, nothing less.

Or triple, or quadruple it. After all, under Obama we have added $4.1 Billion in new debt per day. Compare that to the $1.6B/day added under Bush. I would be hard pressed to find evidence that any Democrats want to seriously get this debt and spending under control.
