2. Do we know if this is true? And if it is, yes, that's exactly what

it means. Someone just posted that isn't it interesting that this time, the Dems are all on board and it's the Republicans running around trying to scrabble for votes.

3. I'm not rooting for Boehner, but damn those teabaggers....

As bad as the Boehner plan is, it represents the slightly "sane" extremist side. How do we deal with that insane minority willing to send us crashing off a cliff? :mad:

14. Simple. As soon as Boner's plan gets voted down...

bring out the one page bill that simply raises the debt ceiling with no strings and stick it in Boner's face. Don't mind the tear stains.

[emulatorloo]

18. Yes, absolutely. Could be headed that way

Boehner plan fails. Reid plan fails. Oh well, let's do the one page bill.

[gateley]

4. CNN just said they're expecting the vote. He wasn't disputing

this item, more like he was unaware of it.

Are we SURE this is accurate??

[DrToast]

7. It's all over the place

I'm not sure what CNN is doing, but it's all over the internet.

[gateley]

9. But that doesn't mean it's accurate (and I couldn't find it when

I just Googled).

MSNBC hasn't said anything about it either, yet.

:shrug:

[gateley]

10. Yes -- there's a scroll at the bottom of C-Span saying it's been postponed! Holy shit! nt

12. Tweety just confirmed this.. sources say the vote is delayed indefinitiely.

Boner dont have the votes.. hahahaha!

[gateley]

13. Indefinitely? Cantor said they'd "try" to get it done tonight maybe

at 7pm?

Wow - Boehner knows how we feel now -- you just can't get a yes from those Republicans! :rofl:

[DCBob]

15. "maybe".. is the operative word.

what a mess.

[gateley]

24. Isn't it though? Sigh. nt

[AlinPA]

20. They just want to keep the Dem. senators up late tonight voting it down.

[flamingdem]

[flamingdem]

22. hmmm on second thought we could end up with Eric Cantor

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

23. Looks like somebody's gonna get shit faced tonight. nt

[Cognitive_Resonance]

25. I really hope Boehner has to eat it. A defeat just might be a wake-up to a few sane Republicans. nt
