Conservatives react to the House failing to get enough votes for plan B.

Looks like the Speaker can't corral his own caucus, and get anything done. House will go on Christmas vacation now, with ten days to go before the fiscal cliff. World stock markets have already started to slide.

The first step toward recovery is to recognize that you have a problem.

I like how Loesch chalks it up not wanting to raise taxes even for money made past the $1 million mark to bad PR, as opposed to a fanatical stance against raising taxes that makes it impossible to ever address things with any form of rationality, reason, or compromise.

My favorite spot to find the GOP.

It's hardly a secret that Boehner is an incompetent speaker.

Keeping their jobs > everything else.

Delicious.

What do you think the odds Boehner looses his speakership?

Oompa Loompa nation is disappointed.

I think Cantor has a knife wedged right into Boehner's lumbar region and will use any excuse to execute a putsch. Cantor as Speaker. Ryan as majority leader.

Beware the Ides of March, John!

If Cantor becomes speaker, 2014 may not be so bad for the democrats...

Sen. Murray joked: “Well, I actually got really excited when I heard Speaker Boehner talking about Plan B because I thought finally, they’ve made progress on a really important women’s health issue that I’ve been working on, but that was not the case.”

He's an excellent Speaker if his goal is for nothing to get done.

Yes, we have the GOP

I think it's time for the GOP to either reinvent itself or be replaced similar to the way the GOP replaced the Whigs.
