It looks like the House GOP doesn't mind a fight with Obama, it helps define them to their base. But the Senate GOP being mad at them seems to be what has done the trick to get the House GOP to move and be more agreeable ....

"House Republican leaders have decided to accept a short-term extension of the payroll tax cut, sources told ABC News this afternoon, staving off a hike in taxes just nine days before a payroll tax break for 160 million Americans expires."

Squabbling children annoy me, which is why I have avoided their collective lot whenever I could, and distance myself as far as I can from their playgrounds.

Now they can fight amongst themselves after the New Year on the finished bill!

Their handlers seem to have gotten through to them, finally.

with 97% com ming in demonizing them for not voting, and the other 3 % just cussing them out for no reason, Bonehead finnally smelled reality and let the vote be taken.
