Well…after the debacle of Boehner’s defeat last night, now we can move forward with marginalizing the crazy assed right wingers in the House….and get a bill that the progressives can support. But, the problems there is we need to find around 20 reasonable repubs (I know, that is the ultimate oxymoron) to come with us for the good of the country…not just the 1%’ers that are still pulling the puppet strings for most of the repubs…but, one of the things we must do, or what Obama must do, is to take the SS nonsense off the table to get the dem caucus behind him…and then let Pelosi do her work to construct a bill that doesn’t compromise progressive principles. Look, you know the repubs don’t want to govern anyway when ole Boehner says “it’s up to the pres and the Senate now…” abdicating any responsibility to look after the well being of the country or its citizens…going over the cliff is going to be a fun ride….
