- If it passes the House, the Senate has to pass it and Obama has to sign it. - ty97 Oct 15, 13:53 13

    - Right now, the public blames Congressional GOP for this mess (at least more than they blame anyone else) - ty97 Oct 15, 13:56 11

        Probably not, but this is basically the last ouvre before default. It defined the talking points for when people WILL all pay attention if we default -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 14:02
      - The House has already passed a bunch of bills the Senate isn't touching. This would be the same. -- nm - Max Oct 15, 13:58 5
        
        Right. I think it depends on the content of the bill. If the public views it as reasonable, opinion may start to shift. Otherwise it's more - pmb Oct 15, 14:00 1
        
        My understanding is that it's basically short term CR, short term debt limit, Vitter amdnt. That's it. - ty97 Oct 15, 14:03
        
        But we are near deadline and there's high focus. Killing it by not touching it is the same as voting it down. 'The Dems did it' -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 13:59 2
        
        So then, if we go over the debt cliff, it's "the Dem's fault" -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 14:00 1
        
        (mind you, I'm not saying it is: I'm saying how it plays easily to the sheeple. The GOP is very good at manipulating lazy minded public opinion) -- nm - ty97 Oct 15, 14:01
      - this is a great point, but I think the o admin could spin rejecting a bill that was BS. -- nm - all the boys love mandy lane Oct 15, 13:56 2
        
        I think they can try, and it may protect some damage, but not sure how much (definitely not all) - ty97 Oct 15, 13:58 1
        
        Passing it also sends a message that they Dems aren't the predictable pushovers the GOP hopes for. - ty97 Oct 15, 13:59
