Fly On The Wall In Repub Debate Right Now?

Nice cordial discussion going on.

I wonder if Boehner is going to bring this to the floor, and there is an all out war.

I think this could get ugly.

bring the bill to the floor. He is probably more afraid of losing the Speakers position then what might happen by sending this country off of the fiscal cliff. If he doesn't have the guts to bring the Republicans into line, then he has no business being Speaker. Regardless of what people think of the bill, it does deserve to be put out for an up and down vote. One might say that the signs of a successful negotiation is one where both sides are not totally happy as it means that neither side totally ran over the other side.
