House voting now on the Ryan budget plan.

[flpoljunkie]

So far, two Republicans have voted no, while no Democrats have voted yes--altho there was a brief yes Dem vote.

1. Almost time to goto the beer store

:banghead:

[Akoto]

2. 140 for 121 against so far, 174 not voted.

It looks like this will pass on party lines unless more Republicans defect (only two have).

[Inchworm]

5. 3 rethug "nays" so far

198 - 159

[sasha031]

3. k/r rec.

[Akoto]

4. 197 yea 157 nay 76 remaining ...

[DrToast]

6. I can't believe Republicans are going to vote to eliminate Medicare

What are they thinking?

[Akoto]

8. Looks like it passes, even if all remaining votes go to us. n/t

7. Dude if Pelosi/Hoyer keep all of the Democratic votes off of this bill . . .

. . .that would be huge from the standpoint of caucus discipline.

[Inchworm]

9. I can't see a Dem jumping ship

It's a whack bill

[wndycty]

10. I thought there would a Bluedog or two. . .

. . .impressive.

11. The Senate will kill it if it passes the House.

The "present" vote isn't so dangerous with a POS bill like this one.

It's Teabaggers vs. Republics, but only if the (D)s stay out of it.

[Inchworm]

12. But it seems so silly

Kind of like getting "repeal health care" bill through House as a stunt.

Such a waste of time.

[Shiver]

13. Exactly. That's probably why some of the R's are voting for it.

If it had a chance of passing the Senate, I know there are some that would be voting against it in the House. Not every Rethug is a brain-dead teabagger.

[DCKit]

15. Still, can you imagine the conflicting messages they'll be getting from constituents...

when half those on Medicare realize what this bill would do to them, personally?

This is going to set the Teabaggers against each other, as well.

14. Ryan Budget passes with No Dem votes. Four R's vote No! Final tally 235-193.
