The Democrats in the House will determine if the deal passes or not?

[kentuck]

Boehner has said that he will bring up for a vote anything that the Senate can compromise upon, since he was unable to get anything thru the Tea Party House.

That means he can get probably no more than 25 or 30 Republican votes for the compromise. Which would mean there would need to be 190 or 195 Democrats voting for the deal. If enough Democrats refuse to go along with the deal, it cannot pass. The onus is on the House Democrats to determine whether or not this piece of crap passes. I would expect about the same number of Democrats would be against it as there are Republicans that are for it and it may not pass on the first vote?

1. If my Rep was a Democrat I would be calling him to vote no. Turns out my

Rep is a teabagger he won't vote for anything.

2. Piece of crap? That's a little off, don'tcha think?

[kentuck]

3. I don't think so.

But that is just my opinion.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

6. Oh, sorry. You misunderstand.

It's a really really big piece of crap. You were going a little easy there.

[kentuck]

7. Sorry.

Communication failure.

4. What is in it for us if they vote for this? Wouldn't it have been better to just go off the cliff

and let the Bush cuts expire then force the Republicans to take the $250000.

5. I called mine to vote No, and they are Democrats. Because of the

shortfall in tax revenue, we do another entitlement chase in February. I am so disgusted. I can't wait for us to win an election before a major vote like this. I don't know what happened in November.
