GOP Speaker of the House John Boehner decides he can't win without a "clean" bill to raise the debt limit (it's gone so well the last two times!), so he announces a vote for Tuesday night without conditions. He knows he'll need Democratic votes to pass it, so he'll bring a clean bill to the floor for a vote.
The immediate reaction from the Tea Party is to call for him to be ousted. Wow.
Read
TPM's report:
The outside tea party-aligned group Senate Conservatives Fund is
calling for House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) to be replaced in response
to House Republican leadership's decision to push a clean debt ceiling
hike.
The powerful outside group's call came in an email to supporters on
Tuesday, shortly after House Republicans announced that they would give
up on previous demands for a debt ceiling extension and instead support a
clean hike.
I'd say RIP John Boehner, but that's not a given. Ed Gilgore will say RIP Republican Party. Well,
maybe not quite, but almost.
