| The House GOP caucus remains supportive of Speaker John Boehner, even though he is open to tax-rate increases. “There is no revolt, no coup,” says a conservative House member, who requested anonymity to speak freely. “Boehner is going to compromise, but people recognize that he’s in a tough spot.” In a conference meeting this morning at the Capitol, Boehner told his colleagues that he would like to extend current tax rates for “99.5 percent” of taxpayers, and let the rates expire on those making more than $1 million. Boehner acknowledged that it wasn’t optimal, but the best “plan B.”

I´m thinking the same thing, #2.
I left the democrats during the Cartr Administration when I realized I was in the wrong party.
Now, I´m starting to wonder if the republicans are the right party for me.
"Read my lips, No new taxes". Yea, been there, heard that from another republican who backed down to the democrats.

Wuss! Cut taxes, not raise them! Cut spending! Simple easy to understand. pass the cuts and send it to Harry Reid.
Sit back as it is the democrat hands.
John Boehner and other wuss rinos wring their hands over this. They have the vapors.
It is the democrats that have spent and spent. These rinos go along with it. the only thing they are worried about is how they look. Not the damage it does to people and this country.

The weakest man always loses. Time to replace our weakling. Imagine a punk like Zerobama kicking sand in Boehner´s face and Boehner says kick a little less sand and I´ll let you continue to do it.
Compromise, John, has gotten us 16 trillion in debt.
Compromise, John, is not the answer.

I was phoned by the RNC looking for some $ on Friday, Monday, and today. I asked each time if John Boehner was still speaker, "they" replied "of course." I´ve informed them each time, call me back when he is voted out and replaced by a True Conservative. I think today they FINALLY got my message....

I really don´t care if this tax hike goes through as long as he gets spending cuts--- real, irreversible, meaningful spending cuts. If he can´t get cuts, he should walk away.

I am not sure about the merits, but raising taxes without a budget at all is unsound. No increase in debt limit until a budget. Republicans also seem too quick to shoot the survivors and bury the wounded.

Three years without a budget. No money until you pass a budget, no raise of the debt ceiling no nothing. But no one has the nuts to say this. Fire the lot of ´em.

Boehner is such a dolt. He has to be replaced. Most of us have no problem with raising taxes, but we cannot accept this without a spending reduction. Why can´t Boehner understand this. Boehner has to go.

Boehner, like all DC politicians, is so brainwashed by all his years in Washington, his only thought is getting through `the process`. That is what is important to him.

First, Boehner should let all the rates expire. Return to the Clinton era of tax rates, then cut all spending to same Clinton era levels.
I think democrats need the republicans to save the 98% because they´d be increasing that margin to around 90%, and then taking the blame for increasing large sections of tax-payers.
No extensions on debt ceiling either. It´s you´re only leverage.

FTA: “Boehner is going to compromise, but people recognize that he’s in a tough spot.” No, Mr/Ms ´Anonymous conservative House member´, America is in a tough spot. The speaker isn´t representing his constituents very well at all, and needs to be replaced. Unless you´re implying he is being blackmailed to prevent him from doing what is necessary. Then he needs to resign and let someone who is free to do what is constitutional, what is right for America, assume the house speaker´s position.

The Wet Noodle party needs to go bye bye. Why are they even talking? It´s ludicrous, no budget for nearly 4 years, astronomical debt and rising, not a word about cutting spending just ploys to gouge more out of Joe Six Pack. Fie to all of them in Washington DC -the new party is being born to sweep this lot out once and for all.

I contacted my GOP Rep this morning to tell him to vote no deal, let us go over the cliff. Can you think of a worse person than John Boehner to be leader of the GOP at a time such as this? He is a joke. I wish he would just declare himself a Dem because that is who he sides with.

If they are gonna vote like Democrats, then we might as well vote for Democrats.
Boehner is completely underestimating how he is about to give the Dems back the House in 2014 for acting just like them.
Our elected officials need to be sent home for good.

We found out what kind of "patriots" Ryan, McCarthy and Cantor turned out to be. Stand behind the feckless Speaker no matter how he messes up. Very good. Every one of these guys are interested in their OWN careers, not the country, the debt or the voters who put them in office.

WASHINGTON —President Obama used his weekly radio address on Saturday to reassure the American people that he has “played no role whatsoever” in the U.S. government over the past four years. “Right now, many of you are angry at the government, and no one is angrier than I am,” he said. “Quite frankly, I am glad that I have had no involvement in such an organization.” The President’s outrage only increased, he said, when he “recently became aware of a part of that government called the Department of Justice.” “The more I learn about the activities of these individuals,

OVER the last decade, the United States has become a less violent country in every way save one. As Americans commit fewer and fewer crimes against other people’s lives and property, they have become more likely to inflict fatal violence on themselves. In the 1990s, the suicide rate dipped with the crime rate. But since 2000, it has risen, and jumped particularly sharply among the middle-aged. The suicide rate for Americans 35 to 54 increased nearly 30 percent between 1999 and 2010; for men in their 50s, it rose nearly 50 percent. More Americans now die of suicide

In the days after the Benhazi attack, the State Department scurried to cover up its failure to heed warnings of such attacks while the White House scurried to cover up the fact that that attacks were the work of al Qaeda-linked terrorists of the sort President Obama supposedly had largely vanquished. The final Benghazi “talking points” and Susan Rice’s talk show appearances represent the product of this scurrying. To help advance the narrative that the Benghazi attacks were spontaneous, and thus (a) not to have been anticipated and (b) not linked to al Qaeda,

TORONTO - Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, a target of criticism for his often unconventional conduct, on Friday denied media allegations that he had been caught on video smoking crack cocaine. "Absolutely not true," Ford told reporters gathered outside his west Toronto house, before driving off in his SUV. Reporters for the Toronto Star and Gawker Media said late on Thursday they had watched a cellphone video that appears to show Ford smoking crack, although both news outlets said they had declined to pay the $100,000 price asked by the tipsters,

SAN DIEGO — In the ocean off Coronado, a Navy team has discovered a relic worthy of display in a military museum: a torpedo of the kind deployed in the late 19th century, considered a technological marvel in its day. But don´t look for the primary discoverers to get a promotion or an invitation to meet the admirals at the Pentagon - although they might get an extra fish for dinner or maybe a pat on the snout. The so-called Howell torpedo was discovered by bottlenose dolphins being trained by the Navy to find undersea objects, including mines,

It must be George W. Bush’s fault. Everything else is. The moonbats’ verdict is in. Barack Obama couldn’t possibly have done all those terrible things the vast right-wing conspiracy is accusing him of. And they’re not scandals, either. Obama’s troubles are merely “controversies” or, to use Dear Leader’s own phrase, a sideshow. Scandals only happen to Republicans, just like Deval Patrick didn’t go on a junket to Ireland. It was a “trade mission.” Democrats never make mistakes either — “mistakes were made,” in the passive voice.

Jay Carney insists Benghazi, Libya, is not a scandal, but then he doesn’t admit to having misled the media about the origin of the attacks. The administration now tells CBS News, “We’re portrayed by Republicans as either being lying or idiots. It’s actually closer to us being idiots.” It would be nice if the source specified what part(s) of the administration were idiotic and why it’s “closer” but not all attributable to incompetence. The problem with claiming incompetence is two-fold. First, it raises the question as to where the president was on Sept. 11, 2012,

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure
