[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

House Republicans cancel Plan B vote

This is fcuking awesome - Republicans obstructing themselves. And fcuking the Weeper of the House in the process.

Oh No ! Maybe it's time for a new SOH ?

It sure looks that way. For the President, any minute spent with Boehner is a waste of time. Boehner has no authority negotiating anything.

It sounds silly, but its going to be easier for them to vote for tax cuts in 2013 instead of tax increases in 2012.

Yes, but the Republicans will get a far less favorable deal then than could get now. Amateurs. They still playing checkers.

Yep, Democrats won't have to compromise at all really.

Not only that. But Republicans have passed up the opportunity to make permanent the current tax rates for 98% of America by passing the bill that already passed the Senate. They now topped that off by rejecting the opportunity to vote in favor of making permanent the current tax rates for 99.81% (taking Boehner's word here) of Americans. They will be the part that caused the biggest tax increase in the history of America. Republicans reject tax relief. That's about as bad a position as they could ever have let themselves be maneuvered into. But it's what happens when you play checkers while your counterpart is playing chess.

This is a real shame. I was pretty sure the Senate and President wouldn't have signed on to this anyway, and it by no means was going to put any significant dent in the deficit, but at least House Republicans would have had the ability to end the President's claim that they only care about millionaires and billionaires.

The Republican orthodoxy that the problem is only spending would fall apart if they raised the taxes on anyone. Of course, not doing that, they will be responsible for raising taxes on everyone. They've let themselves be maneuvered into a corner that they cannot get out of in one piece. Very entertaining.
