House is forcing a vote on Reid's plan tomorrow (before a Senate vote no less)

Edited on Fri Jul-29-11 06:51 PM by Ruby the Liberal

Name 'em & shame 'em time. Don't give Reid/Pelosi a chance to work the votes - get the no votes on the record so they can blame them for a flip.

Shits getting real. *sigh*

The House will vote on the Reid plan tomorrow, according to Cantor spokesman Brad Dayspring. The vote will likely fail without the support of any GOP Senators.

From Cantor's office:

Members are advised that the House will be in session tomorrow, Saturday, July 30, as well as Sunday, July 31, as previously announced. The House
will meet at noon on Saturday and 1:00 p.m. on Sunday for legislative business. First votes are expected at approximately 1:00 p.m. tomorrow. The House is expected to consider H.R. 2693, Senator Harry Reid�s �Budget Control Act of 2011.�

By forcing a vote on the Reid compromise plan tomorrow, the House is setting the stage for a high-stakes showdown later this week, as Reid was counting on attracting GOP votes. Those votes are not expected to materialize tomorrow.

3. You know something, Ruby? This really makes me sad that

we're so divided and have lost sight of doing what's right for the people. :(

The bottom line is, I feel like we're living with the enemy. Sigh.

7. The only thing I hate more than dealing with stupid people

is listening to you-can't-tell-me-anything arrogant stupid people.

I have yet to hear *one* economist claim that the R plan of cuts with no revenue will resolve the deficit issue.

9. Absolutely false

He was going to have the Sente vote on the Boehner plan once it cleared the House. It's not his fault that Boehner couldn't keep his lunatics in line in order for the bill to actually clear the House yesterday.
