San diego for za zag for a while. amy, you watch the house very closely. boehner has brought up bills he needed to become law even though he knew they weren t going to vote for it such as the tax cut extensions and economic deals. would he be willing to let this be voted on if the house majority were to vote against it? let s look what he has coming up next. how many tips does he have to g with a vote of majority of republicans. he s got to deal with the debt ceiling, the budget. those are issues that are much more significant not really so much just for the party but potentially for the health of the country and the economy. so that s where you would put your effort. the bottom line on this, though, i think, ultimately for republicans is where is the incentive? life is not very complicated. no matter what your job is, you have to get something done. for these house republicans
