House Leaders Plan Separate House Vote

It was stated on the news that 20 dems that were in the meeting with Biden yesterday stated they would not pass the tax compromise. There is not much on the 'net about it yet. What's up with that? Dec. 9 (Bloomberg) -- House Democrats voted against bringing the tax agreement between President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans to the floor, Representative Peter DeFazio of Oregon said. The resolution, which is non-binding, was approved today by voice vote during a part ...

Boehner had 220 votes, Pelosi 192, and 15 voted either for someone else (Alan West, Colin Powell, themselves, or voted present). Some of the 113th weren't there. I don't know if they were new to Congress or not. I'm not as familiar with the House reps, but they called their names a few times and those reps didn't answer. So don't know what went on there. ...

So far, 211 yea, 173 nay. Mostly partisan votes. 13 dems Nay, 2 pubs yea. ...

Washington (AFP) - In a symbolic rebuke to US President Barack Obama's unilateral action on immigration, the Republican-led House of Representatives voted Thursday to block his plan to shield millions of people from deportation. The bill, which passed 219-197 along party lines, was introduced by conservatives furious with what they consider Obama's abuse of power when he announced his executive order last month. But it is unlikely to reach the floor of the Senate, where Obama's ...

The vote was 302-126. The House killed a worker aid bill that was tied to the president's main agenda item -- legislation that would give Obama "fast-track" authority to negotiate trade deals. Without it, the trade push withers for now. The vote marked a stunning blow for the president at the hands of his own party, with Nancy Pelosi and labor unions helping drive the stake into the legislation in the end. The biggest defection for Obama came when Pelosi joined the rebellion in opposi ...

After the tea partiers who said they were behind him on his Plan B in the morning backed out later in the day, Speaker Boehner closed the House for the holidays. This all happened so fast they were literally wheeling in carts of food for a late night of lawmaking work when the House abruptly adjourned and they all walked out without voting on their own measure. He must be bitterly disappointed. As someone said, "Every time this guy takes a foot forward, he gets slammed in the back of the head ...

1. House conservatives opposed want to add $300 billion in spending cuts that the Senate deferred for 60 days. This would kill the bill for now. House Whip supposedly looking for the 217 votes that would be needed to add the amendment. 2. If the 217 votes are not found, Speaker Boehner is telling his caucus he would like to put the bill (without addition of a kill-it-dead amendment) to the House for an up-or-down vote. If that happened, moderate GOP and Dems would come together to almost ...

Sing it with me children! Everybody now - Hey hey! Ho ho! Scott Walker has got to go! Call me weird, but personally, I would have preferred they take the little ones to the zoo to visit some wild animals for their field trip. I guess there's no time like the present to teach Agitation 101. It gets good at about 2:50 in the video. Just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, doesn't it? http://althouse.blogspot.com/2011/03/do-you-really-want-to-use-rot ...

Okay I just want some of your opinions please. My mother who lived next to me started dating a man on Valentines Day. Two weeks later they informed me they had went and got married. I had no idea they were going to do this. She had been seeing him 2 weeks for crying out loud. I was in shock but got on with it. A little background here: My mom's house was paid for outright when it was built about 6 years ago and has never had a note. The house is worth 250,000 or was appraised for th ...

my husband's BFF of more than 30 years came on to me... I was furious and told him off. He actually had the audacity to argue with me that "I flirted" and made the comment that when my husband's ex flirted and he came on to her, she went for it. Whatever, that was eons and eons ago and ex's are ex's for reasons such as that, right? I of course told my husband the whole thing and guess what he's most upset about?!?!? That his supp ...

I took my grown daughter out the other night for an early birthday present. She asked for a laptop computer for her birthday/Christmas present- said it could cover both. When hubby and I got over there to get her, her house was like a pig sty. I could not believe knowing we were coming that she would not have tried to halfway straighten it up. She left for vacation today, will be gone a week. I kidded her yesterday and told her what I was getting her for Christmas was a good thorough house clea ...

We were lumped in a group with the housekeepers and the nurses. Union membership was mandatory for employment and dues were taken directly out of our paychecks. Our local reps said they could only negotiate for 1 group a year out of our 3 departments, but every time our turn came around the nurses weren't happy and the union would negotiate for them again. Of course this was 10 years ago, but we made from $8.10 per hour to a max of $12.39 per hour, but we did only have to pay $50 a ...

Going to see Silent House on Wednesday. The previews look so scary that it was one I just can't pass up (and free passes help!). Has anyone seen it yet and, if so, was it as scary as it looks? (Geez, it's going to feel great to get out of the house and away from the computer for a few hours for lunch and a movie with my husband!) Anyone else seen any really good flicks lately? ...

Good morning everyone. I have a very good friend who just moved into a new house and I would like to take her a housewarming gift that is thoughtful yet not too expensive. I would appreciate any ideas. Thanks! ...

Every month I go through the same thing - I wonder if I am going to make my house payment. There is just so much we have to pay for and obviously not enough money to pay for it all. Sometimes I just sit and cry and ask over and over - what are we going to do, where will we go, how will we live? I don't want to lose my home but there does not seem to be anything I can do. Just call me sad but true mt. Just thought maybe if I wrote it down I would feel better.&nb ...

Huge Spike of Families Crossing Border The Daily Caller: "New data shows the White House has painted a false picture of the Central American migration by hiding a huge spike in “family units” who are illegally crossing the Texas border. The data, which was dumped by the U.S. border patrol late Friday afternoon, shows that inflow of youths and children traveling without parents has doubled since 2013, to 57,525 in the nine months up to July 2014. But the number of migrants ...

Soon I will be working 3 jobs, and my 2 house kitties are already bored (they can't stand each other so don't play together, etc.). They already have a TON of toys (both interactive and not) as well as a tall cat tree and multiple scratching posts, but I need something else to help alleviate their boredom. Artificial aquarium? Videos of birds, fish, etc.? Your ideas would be most appreciated. Thanks. ...

Last Saturday night, CSPAN broadcast the House debate on the health-care bill. Here's just a sample of some of the outright LIES peddled by your Republican House members: House Minority Leader John Boehner: "If you're a Medicare Advantage enrollee . . . the Congressional Budget Office says that 80 percent of them are going to lose their Medicare Advantage." It's a lie. The Medicare Actuary estimated that projected enrollment would be down by 64% if cuts took ef ...

How do you all do it? I've always been known as a neat freak and I find that I'm now a slob. House appears clean but only because I hide things. The floors are horrible but I'm lucky because they're slate and dirt doesn't show as badly. I'm on here work all the time, literally. I need a vacation, a clean house, and a new job that pays. ...
