I'M GONNA NEED A SCORECARD PRETTY SOON

This debt/deficit fight is getting pretty complicated.  It's nice to see that the conservative special interest groups are divided on the Boehner plan and making their usual threats:
The Chamber of Commerce and Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform both support it. The Club for Growth, and FreedomWorks do not. Each is warning Republicans not to cross them.
I was very surprised that one of the most extreme members of the House GOP is showing signs of rationality:
But freshman Rep. Allen West, R-Fla., a tea party favorite, felt otherwise.

"This Boehner plan, does it have everything that I want in it?" West said. "Absolutely not. It is the 70-75 percent plan that we can go forward with."

Kucinich says, correctly, Obama is lying about Social Security.
