Excerpted from “Raging Boehner; Bullies GOP to back debt plan” By S.A. MILLER, Post Correspondent, NY Post, Last Updated: 9:36 AM, July 28, 2011

[SIZE="+2"]H[/SIZE]ouse Speaker John Boehner yesterday ordered House Republicans to "get your ass in line" behind his debt-limit plan -- and they did. …

But, as of Thursday evening, not enough of them were sufficiently intimidated or baited or otherwise convinced to allow the Boehner plan to come to the House floor.


The Tea Party really stuck it to their own leadership tonight.
 
Or, more realistically, Boehner doesnt like the CBO scoring on his bill. It doesnt cut enough so hes looking to see what to change before bringing it to a vote.
