Boom! Goes the GOP?

Brit Hume ?@brithume
Appears the House GOP’s pie-in-the-sky caucus will blow up the deal, leaving new higher tax rates in place and assuring Rs get all blame.

Glenn Thrush ?@GlennThrush
In terms of the politics, it’s a no-brainer: WH-Mitch cliff deal sets House GOP up for a biblical reckoning if they block it and taxes rise

Howard Fineman ?@howardfineman
House GOP see it as an act of courage for them to send the government over the cliff. They aren’t here to legislate, but to blow up things

Ben White ?@morningmoneyben
The fury that will rain down squarely on House GOP if they kill the#fiscalcliff deal by amending it will be a sight to behold.

we all know how well the "liberally biased media" actually is biased in favor of the "liberal" ideas.

The lbm will rejuvenate the GOP in a way that would make a zombie shrugging off a stubbed toe look like a successful reattachment of a head after decapitation (with the patient giving a thumbs-up).
