What Obama forgot to mention: Workers making $30,000 will take a bigger hit on their pay than those earning $500,000 under new fiscal deal

The great unwashed who voted for Obama will be in for a rude awakening when they realize they got hoodwinked!

Daily Mail

Middle-class workers will take a bigger hit to their income proportionately than those earning between $200,000 and $500,000 under the new fiscal cliff deal, according to the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. 

Earners in the latter group will pay an average 1.3 percent more - or an additional $2,711 - in taxes this year, while workers making between $30,000 and $200,000 will see their paychecks shrink by as much as 1.7 percent - or up to $1,784 - the D.C.-based think tank reported. 

Overall, nearly 80 percent of households will pay more money to the federal government as a result of the fiscal cliff deal.

Had House Members Allowed to Use Secret Ballot, John Boahner would’ve been Voted Out

It seems very hypocritical of Republicans of not allowing members of using a secret ballot in selecting a Speaker, but they insist on union members to use one in Card check.

So the fix to re-elect Boehner was already in.  Who would want to stick their neck out and publically vote against Boehner and invite retribution?

Conservatives rebel against John Boehner

The House made a terrible decision of re-electing John Boehner who sold out conservative principles of agreeing with Obama to raise taxes!

Politico

Conservative opposition to John Boehner’s reelection as speaker on Thursday was more determined than it originally seemed, as a small band of hard-liners either flat-out opposed the speaker or simply abstained from casting a ballot.

There were some signs that conservative resistance to Boehner was well-organized, at least by one member who has never been a big fan of the Ohio Republican.

Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-Kan.) — who was recently removed from key committees and supported Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) for speaker — sat on the House floor during the speaker vote brandishing an iPad. A message was displayed on the screen ticking off members of the House Republican Conference he hoped would oppose the sitting speaker. The title of the document: “You would be fired if this goes out.”

Among the Republicans on the list were Reps. Steve King (Iowa), Cynthia Lummis (Wyo.), Paul Gosar (Ariz.), Scott Garrett (N.J.), Steve Fincher (Tenn.) and Scott Desjarlais (Tenn.). All of them ultimately supported Boehner.

It’s not clear that any of the Republicans on Huelskamp’s list knew they were on it, or even knew of the list’s existence.

In the end, nine Republicans abandoned the Ohio Republican’s bid for a second term as speaker, and cast votes for people as varied as a former member of Congress who lost his reelection bid in November and a 1990s-era U.S. comptroller general who appears on cable television.

Two Republicans – Reps. Raul Labrador (Idaho) and Mick Mulvaney (S.C.) – sat in the chamber, pointedly ignoring the call of their name to cast a vote for Boehner, who edged to victory with 220 votes. And newly elected Rep. Steve Stockman (R-Texas), who returned to the House after 15 years, voted “present,” demonstrating his lack of fear for the diminished Boehner.

Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) — long a foil to Boehner — got three votes. As a trio of Republicans lawmakers cast their votes for him, Cantor shook his head on the House floor, visibly displeased. His office declined to comment on the vote.

Republicans re-elect Bozo the Clown aka John Boehner Speaker Guaranteeing Future Political Victories for President Obama

I have no faith in a party that cowers under feather light pressure from any quarter.  These feckless GOPers in Washington are a collection of Jellyfish that quickly sell out conservative principles at the drop of a hat.  Re-electing a disgrace like John Boehner only reaffirms to the world that the Republican Party is dead and the ruination of this country under President Obama’s policies has no resistance in Congress whatsoever!

Only God can save the Republic!  The Republican party is a non-factor!    

Washington Times

The House narrowly re-elected Speaker John A. Boehner on Thursday to lead the chamber into the 113th Congress after a rebellion among some fellow House Republicans fell short — though not without drama.

Nine Republicans defected, three didn’t vote and one voted “present” — which brought Mr. Boehner perilously close to having to go to a second ballot against Rep. Nancy Pelosi, Democrats’ nominee. But he earned 220 votes, or three more than needed to claim the speakership.

Mr. Boehner said the new Congress, like the last one, would be dominated by trying to lessen the debt burden that will be passed on to future generations. And he said that will require tough decisions by the members.

“So if you have come here to see your name in lights or to pass off political victory as accomplishment, you have come to the wrong place. The door is right behind you,” he said as he took the gavel for the second Congress in a row from Mrs. Pelosi, who as minority leader by tradition hands the gavel to the speaker.

“If you have come here humbled by the opportunity to serve; if you have come here to be the determined voice of the people; if you have come here to carry the standard of leadership demanded not just by our constituents but by the times, then you have come to the right place,” he said.
