The House of Representatives descended into chaos Friday as Republicans who wanted to pass the really really conservative 2012 budget unveiled by Rep. Paul Ryan almost passed the really really really conservative one authored by the Republican Study Committee because of a trick played on them by Democrats.
House lawmakers defeated a proposal by conservative Republicans to make deeper cuts to spending and tax rates than those proposed in the Republican budget, but only after last-minute maneuvering by Democrats on the House floor.
Hoyer and Ryan could both be observed yelling on the House floor, with Hoyer shouting to his members to vote present and Ryan shouting for the vote to be gaveled closed.
Repubs provided some free comic entertainment as usual LOLOL

well hey, hope you all will be cheering when our country goes bankrupt. then who will take care of all THEM POOR PEOPLE, you lefties.
To keep the amendment from passing Republicans had to scramble to change their votes lest they accidentally actually pass it, Talking Points Memo's Brian Beutler reports. The Democratic gambit was a stunt, for sure, but it had the desired effect of revealing the Republican Study Committee budget proposal as a stunt itself.
Yeah man, whatever dude. But WE care about our country, we reallly really really do.

Who's "we"? Who are you talking about conservatives? I'm a former, active-duty, honorably discharged, vet. I don't want the GOP privatizing/outsourcing the gov't. Very wealthy corporatists have been known to say that they would simply move away if their profits were endangered. Profits trump patriotism when some of the wealthy conservatives are concerned.

Of course, next to your works of literary genius, any writing looks juvenile, right?
