Obama will not, not, not abandon his signature legislation. The GOP does not control the Senate or White House, which both are needed for a short term CR, much less to raise the debt ceiling 2 weeks later and then an agreement on year long CR or budget (unlikely....again).

Every staunch Tea Party member over 65 shouts loudly, but when it comes to their SS or Medicare, they demand any government shutdown "exempt" them.

Watch.

From the linked article...

But the situation was about to get worse for Cantor’s plan.

At 2:56 p.m., an e-mail from the Club for Growth hit the Hill. It said the Club, feared even by its greatest detractors, would be tallying how lawmakers vote on the measure and would put the tally on its voting scorecard, from which it assesses the conservative purity of lawmakers. But the vote the group would be scoring wasn’t the one on the underlying bill — it was on the rule that governs debate, a provocative act. Such “rule votes” are party-line affairs, and abandoning one’s party in this situation is highly unusual. Now, House Republicans would have to choose between their leadership and a powerful conservative force. To make matters worse, Heritage Action followed about an hour later, and then so did FreedomWorks and the Family Research Council.

Ah...that's the key....NAMING & SHAMING these quisling RINO's on a website! That's what they fear the most!

They know conservatism WINS elections...and they don't want to be EXPOSED for the RINO's they've (mostly) become.
