TD honestly has nothing but ignorance to pass on to you, so instead of doing that, here is the research I have been doing on the Plan B affair. Take it for what it is worth to you.
American Thinker; Boehner and Cantor Must Go "...Speaker Boehner's plan to raise taxes didn't woo GOP House caucus members or tea parties and grassroots conservatives across the republic. Boehner and his team were effectively trying to legislate against their party's conservative base and the outcome was thankfully predictable.
Human Events; House Speaker John Boehner on Friday morning blamed a Republican Party defection over his “Plan B” tax proposal on a misconception that the measure was a tax increase that could be used against the members. "Boehner (R-Ohio) also told reporters he did not believe the late-night defection put his speakership at risk." Plan B collapses; "The collapse was announced shortly after an emergency GOP conference was called at 7:45 p.m. to count votes and twist arms, just moments before the legislation was to be debated on the House floor." Also this.
ABC's Jonathan Karl asks, "Now what?" "Tea party groups including Heritage Action, Freedom Works and the Club for Growth –ruined Boehner’s Plan B." This and the next via Lucianne
American Spectator; Reagan’s House Heroes Stop Plan B "What is the take away here? This was a botched GOP House Leadership issue. It is exactly what happens when the governing principle is deal making and not principle." The article quotes Mark Levin:
"The basic premise is that no agreement can be reached with Obama this calendar year because any deal Obama will offer when he thinks we are under the pressure of a year end “cliff” will be horrible. And sure enough, what little movement the White House has made has been horrible."
WSJ; Plan B's Demise "Some leadership aides now fear the terms of the deal with Mr. Obama will only get worse for Republicans after Christmas, or if we go over the cliff in a week and a half. The question almost no Republican could answer after Mr. Boehner's embarrassing setback is: What is Plan C?"

I just don’t think he’s up to the monumental task of saving the country from Obama’s designs. It’s time for the Republicans to seriously reassess what they’re doing.Legal Insurrection; Plan B fails — Now the House needs to consider Plan C
