It's amazing that an obviously broken House is holding the entire country hostage....

[Joe the Revelator]

...it's just a broken fucking system right now.

Fuck the tea party and fuck the republicans for allowing them to take over their caucus.

While we're at it fuck the media for playing into the tea party and triple fuck the Democratic party if we continue to allow this.


But thanks to the house Dems for holding the line....

[NightWatcher]

2. yes, but aint it fun to watch?

I'm holed up in a hotel room with internet, beer, rum, and cable. Since football is a month away, this is the best spectator sport around

[Joe the Revelator]

4. No it's sad and a little distressing......

The country is too fucked right now to have a third of the Government unable to do ANYTHING.

[tridim]

3. What has to be done to make the teafuckers an official party?

Essentially giving the Dems the majority in the House?

I can't think of any other way out of this hostage situation.

[Joe the Revelator]

6. It's going to be strange to see..

The house democrats and the sensible house democrats caucus together.

11. Boehner give up his speakership?

He'd sooner eat the Constitution in a sandwich.

[Joe the Revelator]

18. When can they vote him out?

Do they have to wait until the next congress or can they unsurp him now?

[Broderick]

5. oh

things will get done. At our expense. This is all smoke and mirrors and all of them will go back to their respective constituencies and brag. We are merely pawns. OMG this OMG that. sickening.

[kenny blankenship]

7. Hey when that reconciled House and Senate bill passes, cutting Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid

guess whose votes will put it over the line?

[tridim]

10. No Democrat will vote to cut SS and Medicare.

They have already made that crystal clear.

[gateley]

9. BlueDemKev observed it was interesting seeing the usually

in lockstep Republicans behaving like WE usually do! :rofl:

I'm sorry (I've already been chastised) if this isn't good news, but I'm really enjoying this implosion. Schadenfreude may be a guilty pleasure, but it's a pleasure nonetheless.

12. Up the ante...have Obama suggest recalling the troops.

[hifiguy]

21. He would eat his own shoes on live television

before crossing the MIC.

[Amonester]

13. the only comforting thought remaining to this point is that

the stupid teabagsters who rely on their monthly SS "entitlements" to survive and those who need Medicare assistance will fully deserve all the suffering "sacrifices" coming their way big fuging time...

May They Eat Cat Food Til They :puke:

[Joe the Revelator]

15. That's my other question,do they think they'll weather a default better..

Than the rest of us?

[Amonester]

16. My other answer is...

They never ever really think of anything.

They only do what they R told to do.

They R bound to learn the hard way, tho.

Well, I hope they R. :evilgrin:

[Autumn]

14. Rec, mainly because all I see is

fucking Fuck fuck fuck fuck thanks. Very good post.

[A Simple Game]

19. A quick google search told me that there are 52 Tea Party caucus members.

The Tea Party caucus is telling the Republicans what to do.

Another quick google search told me there are 81 Progressive caucus members.

I know that the Republicans are in charge of the house, but they weren't always. Why do I not remember hearing about how the Progressive caucus forced their ideas on the Democrats when the Democratic party was in charge of the house?

I think the Progressive caucus needs to rethink their position in the Democratic party.
