I want to see if the Republican house can pass their bill without the Democratic votes. I'd like to see every Dem in the house back the presidents position and say no to Boehner's plan B. If the Republicans want this bill they better be willing to get their whole majority to vote for it because the word on the street is they don't have enough of their own votes.
