THIS IS GREAT!

(h/t  Brian Beutler at TPM)

The GOP boneheads in the House got a vote on the slash and burn budget from the Republican Study Committee and the Dems decided to let them pass it by voting "present" instead of "no."  The slightly more humane group of GOP House members caught on and flipped their votes from "yes" to "no" and the bill was defeated, 119-136.

This means that the GOP hyper-extremists in the House are in fact a minority of the GOP overall. In 2012, the Dems should remind the voters about the creeps who voted for the bill.
