What the hell does Bonehead think he's doing?

What is the point of this idiotic charade? Even if this Plan B monstrosity passes the House, it won't be taken up in the Senate.

Is he on a bender? Even his own caucus doesn't like Plan. I don't see how this puts the repukes in a better bargaining position. Seems to me, all he's done is piss of the President who, up until this stunt, he had offering up unpalatable (to dems) concessions.

Maybe Boehner's on a bender.

2. the house has hijacked our government. nothing can get done, anytime.

american-style democracy in 2012 does not work

4. Not the whole house, but a twisted knot of angry, mean spirited baggers

Who are in enough numbers to play a weak Speaker and others in fear of losing their positions to an even crazier, meaner group (Cantor, Ryan, and others).

Their internecine warfare is destroying America.

3. It was suppose to so the GOP strength on their position

so far it shows they hate poor people a lot and LOVE rich people's money. Which wasn't exactly the message they wanted to send. If they can't pass the total package, given they passed the meanest part, they will look like even bigger * tomorrow than they already look.

I'm sure some GOP will spin this vote as a great show of force but you are right it looks like a total fail.
