Geez.
So Republicans are planning on caving.. but it’s NOT ENOUGH of a cave for the Rats.
FUBO
The House doesn’t need to “try.” They hold all the cards. Nothing gets funded without the House.
I see the problem. When the regular thing is to borrow to pay bills, you are pretty much screwed.

The problem is the debt, not the debt ceiling. Balance the budget, the problem will take care of itself.
It’s now or never Pubbies!
Are you a party, or a collection of bureaucrats.
If the House stands firm, I will once again donate money to the party.
If not, the party needs to dissolve.
It’s not about who is nicer to whom, it’s about standing up for what’s right. Forget the media, forget the polls, listen to the American People, and the Veterans who have fought for them.
But it would leave obnamacare comfortably funded and would help the Democrats to not lose votes next November. I think the Republican "leadership" really does desire to have a much smaller majority in the House after the election. It would be easier to keep the Republicans in line wee there fewer of them. They might even think wistfully of being in the minority again where Republicans have historically been the most comfortable.
Do Not do it, HOUSE.
Do NOT do anything.
Your demands should be: (1) a real budget and the end of continuing resolutions and an irrevocable, non-squishy law requiring a budget (2) A rate of expenditure per month that cannot be exceeded for that budget (3) all expenditures in that budget OR no deal. (4) A religious conscience clause added to ObamaCare (5) The end of anything resembling death panels or care restrictions in ObamaCAre, and a minimum of a delay for one year with ObamaCare.
My do nothing R Congressman is sending a “daily brief” during the slowdown and I can tell he is ready to cave. He is saying, “we cannot default,” like the Dems.
Translation: it’s time for those crazy kids in the House to sit down and pay attention and do what Reid and McConnell tell them to. Constitutional duty? Whazzat?
NO!
I loathe and despise the GOP!
Taking away the federal health care subsidies would at least be getting something out of the whole shutdown, since the shutdown didnt automatically cut off Obama-care funding.(who da guessed)
Reid and McConnel’s plans would comply with Obama’s demand that the GOP get NOTHING.
I thought the House already passed this, but maybe they just talked about it.
House - Do NOTHING! It's effectively the BBA Now! The feral govt forced to live within its means.
They’re playing their game. Responding with counter proposals. They should be starting the 2014 House campaign now. Attacking the Demo-Coms (they can’t even call them socialists) and the regime with a barrage of government waste attacks and policy effects (energy costs to the consumer like coal fired electric production ) not only on what the buraucracies are doing but the extrordinary efforts this regime is using to focus on government reliance . Theme being “Do you really need government to involve itself in every aspect of life”...
Do a simple bill of raising the debt limit 200 billion. More than enough room for treasury to work around uneven revenues while the government is closed, and keep it closed until you get some reasonable consessions. Simple.

What would make anyone think that?
the house GOP should insist that the obamacare individual mandate be delayed until the website works properly... that should kill it forever !
Pubbies in the House....give Obama nothing!!! Let him take the country into default...he owns it!!! Actually...your move is a good one because Democrats will reject it outright!!! The Senate deal spnosored by traitors RINOs is DOA!!!
Then Pubbies stand pat and do nothing!!! And....if you need more support for your spine and backbone...remember them polls that blame you for this mess!!! You know who that is blaming you? Republican conservatives becasue you will not stand up to Obama, his Obamabot Democrats , his Obamabot media and your low life, dirt bag, RINOs!!! Stand strong!!! Give Obama, ZILCH!!!
And......New Jersey voters....tomorrow, election day in NJ...vote for Steve Lonegan for US Senator from NJ!!! You can destroy the entire Democrat Party and Obama by voting for Steve Lonegan for US Senate over dirt bag, lowlife, criminal thug, Obamabot clone, Cory (lie) Booker!!!
