Hey, Stupid Republicans

I don't know if the national Republican Party realizes this, but they control the U.S. House of Representatives.
And according to law and the constitution, they are able to pass any bill they so choose to do.
So, with the Fiscal Cliff approaching, why doesn't the GOP in the House pass their own bill and make the Democrats say no to the Republican and make the GOP the aggressors and the Democrats the backpeddalers.
but then again, there are not that many smart Republicans, including the idiot Speaker of the House, John Boehner.
