A String of Defeats for House Republicans New York Times: "In the two and half years since they took control of the House, Republicans have gone from early legislative victories that cut government spending to a string of defeats that have grown worse over time. The latest ended with a bill that was expected to pass early Thursday and that would leave the country almost exactly where it had been before, only billions of dollars poorer and as a puzzlement to the world." "Two years of failed strategies to handcuff the Democratic minority have left Mr. Boehner as mostly a bystander while the most conservative members of his conference -- who propelled him to power nearly three years ago -- took the tiller of the House in their hands. Their goal: to dismantle what they consider to be an overreaching government, one vote at a time." politicalwire.com/archives/2013/10/17/a_string_of_defeats_for_house_republicans.htmldaily weblog archives www.usdemocrats.com/weblogcompendium usdemocrats.proboards.comtwitter www.twitter.com/usdemocratsgeo information portal www.1t23.com
