Rep. Steven C. LaTourette, R-Ohio, said Boehner told him that he would call Obama to see about the way forward. But it is clear that his negotiating leverage is tarnished and Republicans may inevitably have to swallow a fiscal cliff deal that heavily skews toward the president’s demands. “It weakens the entire Republican Party, the Republican majority. It’s the continuing dumbing-down of the Republican Party and we are going to be seen more and more as a bunch of extremists that can’t even get a majority of our own people to support policies that we’re putting forward,” LaTourette said. Boner got set by Cantor: Cantor: "We're going to have the votes" to pass "Plan B" House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., confidently predicted today that the GOP will "have the votes" to pass House Speaker John Boehner's "fiscal cliff" "Plan B," which would retain the Bush tax cuts for household income under $1 million, and to replace the spending cuts contained in the sequester. cbsnews.com Cantor wants to be speaker in the worst way. The death spiral of the GOP continues which would be amusing if it wasn't hurting us badly.

>> But it is clear that his negotiating leverage is tarnished and Republicans may inevitably have to swallow a fiscal cliff deal that heavily skews toward the president’s demands. Who says? Perhaps they'll let Obama stew in his on juice for a while. The people in this country are not paying attention to this crap. Once they become aware at just how hard-headed and stubborn Obama has been, I doubt they're going to feel very positively about him. Let's just go over the damned cliff and watch what happens.
