If the House votes the deal down, it may be via a coalition between the Tea Party and the Left. Sheila Jackson Lee, talking now, sounds like she is considering voting against it (unless "goodies" are added).

Anyone know what time the House vote is expected?

Edit: Or the Senate?

Nothing on a time yet but they could be in for a battle.

The plan could be a tough sell, if early reaction is any indication. Liberal Democrats were incensed at what they saw as a cave-in to Republican demands to slash spending without finding new revenues, as well as the potential for changes to entitlement programs.

Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.), chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, called it "a sugarcoated Satan sandwich."

Republicans may also be resistant, particularly in the House. Rep. Bill Huizenga, a freshman Republican from Michigan, said he was reserving judgment until he saw the details. He noted that the deal looked similar to the one that narrowly passed the House on Friday. Huizenga voted for that bill.

"The same people who were telling me I needed to vote no are still telling me I need to vote no," he said, adding that he was hopeful the new deal could spark a strong campaign to push a balanced budget amendment through Congress.

There is no House vote scheduled yet. Seems they are still "discussing" and whipping. House leader meeting starting in 5 minutes. I still would not be surprised to see the Senate vote first

So F-ing nuts. Do these ass clowns not realize what they are playing with here?

The tin foil hat guys that say this is being done on purpose sure are looking credible. Are they really this naive?

Call your Democratic reps. Tell them you were a former Tea Party member and please vote 'no' and you'll remember them come election time and switch party affiliations smiley

This whole thing is a joke. Might as well have some fun.

Reid: I hope we can get something done today. Cantor said revenue could very well be part of what we do with the joint cmte. I hope saying that doesn't affect the vote.

I haven't watch C-Span live coverage of CONgress in a while, but when it comes to fun, drying paint still has nothing on it.

The House just went into recess, the Senate is in session but doing nothing during a quorum call.
