Boehner Commits Seppuku In Grand Fashion

So you honestly think The Dems and GOP in Congress and WH are identical? lol...

Yeah, they have the same tax policy, right? you're cute.

Just read about this....this is still considered "breaking news." Anyways...my thoughts:

Eric Cantor wants the seat. I'm willing to bet he did something to block the vote. He's been at it since 2010. This has less to do with raising taxes than it does a grapple for power in the house. Cantor's supporters probably back him on the grounds of no tax increases for anybody but I think Cantor's after the power.

Not good.

Yeah, but that's just it IMO. Even if Cantor can't get the support we don't have a definitive leader of the house anymore which in my mind means we've got at least a month before there's any chance of a budget being passed. I think this signifies a level of intransigence within the party that bodes poorly for future settlement I'd consider sane. Which is concerning. This also means we could run up to the debt ceiling again...where these members have no problem doing the same thing again. Doubling down so to speak.
