One only has to go to Redstate to see who wonhttp://www.dailykos.com/story/2013/01/01/1175584/-One-only-has-to-go-to-Redstate-to-see-who-won
I just said about the same thing, that Republicans leaders have been played for fools! Boehner and McConnell should have shut up and let the Dem majority lead American away from the cliff by passing or amending HR 8.
This is a spectacular failure of leadership. McConnell and Boehner have both played right into Obama's narrative that the problems in America stem from the "rich" hoarding all the money, and that the way to improve this country is to redistribute the wealth.
Voting now....57 Rs have voted yes meaning that Speaker to be Pelosi has what she needs to pass. At least it's happening quickly, sort of like election night, a crushing blow that stuns and removes all feeling.
Boehner just assured the demise of many incumbents in the next Republican primary.

I forget if the step after that is imposing Sharia law or forcing everyone into same-sex marriages.

It amazes me that the people that shouldn't protect the rich are the ones willing to go to the mat

It is complete nonsense to believe that "we won" based on the reactions
