No House Dems will vote for Boehner plan, aide says
After aggressively whipping votes, the office of House minority whip Steny Hoyer now believes that not a single Democrat will vote for John Boehner’s debt ceiling plan, delivering a blow to GOP hopes for getting it through the House, a top Democratic aide tells me.

“Hoyer has been whipping against the Boehner bill very hard,” says the aide, who is close to Hoyer’s whipping operation. “No Democrats will vote for it.”

That's great news as there were 6 dem votes for the Cut, Cap and Balance (or whatever its name is) crap they voted last week.

4. I'd like to know who those six Democrats are who even considered voting for that monstrosity.
They need to be targeted and deleted from Congress.

6. Not Even The 5 Usual Turncoats?
The ones who always vote with the Cons just like they did on that nasty cap bill?

7. They saw how he used "bipartisan" last time to beat the drum
They need to support the Senate by making it clear that Boehner is sending a party-line no-compromise bill to the Senate. Not one vote for the Boehner plan!
