Bwaha! I love Teabaggers, they claim to want government NOT to work. The consistent position for them would be SHUT IT DOWN and prove how we don't need any Federal operations at all. Of course they won't carry through, and this is all just more brinksmanship so they can claim they fought a good bloody fight.

I'm personally sick of the Republican party and that is why I left it. This new teabagger Republican party is raidcal and extreme. It is the equivalent of the Democrats letting the Communists run the Democratic party.

I, for one, am hoping that the Republicans do NOT extend the payroll tax cut for one simple reason: TO once and for all prove to Americans that Republicans only care about tax cuts for the rich. The thing the Republicans hate most about the payroll tax cut is that ti cuts taxes for the wrong people.... those who are not super rich. So please Republicans, do not extend the tax cut so that you can lose next year and Nancy Pelosi can get her gavel back.
BOEHNER: Well, it’s pretty clear that I, and our members, oppose the Senate bill. … How can you do tax policy for two months? So, we really do believe it’s time for the Senate to work with the House, to complete our business for the year. We’ve got two weeks to get this done. let’s do it the right way.
HOST: So your suggesting start over, make this a one year extension. Should the Senate start from scratch?
BOEHNER: No, what I’m suggesting is this. The House has passed its bill, the Senate has passed its bill. Under the Constitution, when we have these disagreements, there could be a formal conference between both chambers to resolve the differences.
