This really illustrates the difference between Senators and House members and being accountable to an entire state and just a small district.

2 years vs 6 years too

God at this C-Span caller is the most blatantly racist crazy bitch I've ever heard get through the call line

She hit all the points too

1. WHERE IS BIRTH CERTIFICATE?? No one ever saw it!
2. This guy has no education to be president! (I bet this crazy bitch dropped out of high school)
3. Black people are just wellfare moochers. I had 7 black people working with me and there are only 3 left and they all collect wellfare and are lazy and don't care if they lose their job or not lololol

I bet if CSPAN didn't cut her call she would have said that at least the hispanics have the self-respect to be quiet when they're cleaning up after white people in their service jobs unlike those uppity black people

I don't watch CSPAN too often but are these the level of callers they usually get?

I made the terrible mistake of clicking on a link with one of those #tcot hashtags. It linked to a Benghazi article, then I read the comments...

 

[Black Mamba]

Weren't those going to go up anyway according to current law?

Some.. Although in fairness with estate no one wanted the $1 mil number.

The phaseout and cap are new I believe. Th dividend while lower than current law is higher than last year.

Another thing: does this deal, plus the major gun stuff, position Biden for 2016?

It illustrates the effects of gerrymandering.

You can't redraw state lines with the state legislature.

Krauthammer so salty on Fox News. Haha

Looks like vote is coming at 10:30pm.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Looks like vote is coming at 10:30pm.

PST or EST?

 

[GhaleonEB]

PST or EST?

EST. 15 minutes.

 

[The Librarian]

PST or EST?

This is Washington. Always EST. Never, ever, ever, PST.

Yes. I can't even listen to it. It's complete drivel and frankly embarrassing. From both sides.

 

[TacticalFox88]

PST or EST?

In America, EST is really the only time zone that matters.

Seriously.

 

[slit]

I get the feeling that this is going to piss off the Tea Party so much that they demand a hardline approach with the debt ceiling. Obama has said he won't negotiate on that. Something will have to give come March.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Republicans aren't even speaking on the floor, they keep ceding time to democrats. Must be a depressing sight for republicans

 

[Wilsongt]

The Republican party really, really needs to look within itself to find out what the fuck it is going to do in the next few years once they keep getting slaughtered during elections.

Wow.

For once Drudge gets it....right?



I swear we live in a new bizzaro world every couple of weeks with American politics.

 

[Tamanon]

It would be weird if this didn't pass after all this hullabaloo.

 

[B-Dubs]

Perfect.

It's like democrats are back in the majority again. Walla walla bing bang.

[BobTheFork]

[cartoon_soldier]

[bananas]

Kim Jong Un now saner than House GOP. Today was a great day.

 

[cartoon_soldier]

[Cloudy]

Christopher Hayes ‏@chrislhayes

Hilarious the R's tried to get a voice vote. #nicetrybros

lol

 

[Aaron Strife]

vote faster

Hey man. A lot of these congressmen are really old. They can't figure out the difference between tweeting and voting.

 

[BobTheFork]

if it passes, the gop eats an entire murder of crows.
If not, things just get stranger.
hmmmm

 

[cartoon_soldier]

40+ R Yea votes. Looks like a done deal. Good night GAF.

 

[BobTheFork]

lol voice vote

All in favor say 'fuck'

All opposed, say 'shit'

Anderson just said Boehner voted yes.

 

[ZeroRay]

Does C-Span usually play classical piano during House votes?

 

[BobTheFork]

Oh, is it even right to call this the fiscal cliff anymore since they put a big part of this off for two months?

Boehner voted yes? Smart enough to try and save his ass I guess.

 

[NihonTiger90]

Anderson just said Boehner voted yes.

Tea Party Primarying incoming.

 

[thefit]

Anderson just said Boehner voted yes.

Was he crying as he cast his vote? I want details!

 

[B-Dubs]

Tea Party Primarying incoming.

I'll be shocked if Cantor doesn't make a play for the speakership after this.

 

[thepotatoman]

Shame it passed. Not passing would have made for some comedy gold.

 

[worldrunover]

I'm rooting for Paul Ryan!

Don't worry, the gold will be flowing in a couple of months.

 

[worldrunover]

Right now 107-10 for the dems say what you will about Pelosi but she really whips that caucus good.

 

[Chichikov]

Damn, I thought there will be a majority of Republican yeas, doesn't look like it at the moment.
It's going to get UGLY in the GOP.

 

[RDreamer]

Grover trying to pretend he's still relevant:

Grover Norquist ‏@GroverNorquist
The Bush tax cuts lapsed at midnight last night. Every R voting for Senate bill is cutting taxes and keeping his/her pledge.

 

[B-Dubs]

No doubt it will pass, but that vote count is a lot closer than I thought that it would be.

Grover trying to pretend he's still relevant:

The faster him and his 7th grade ideas go away the better.

 

[worldrunover]

Grover trying to pretend he's still relevant:

So that means all those nay votes are breaking the pledge by favoring higher taxes, right?
