[rrrod]

Lets give Boehner some help on this

[siamesecats]

Right Boner...don’t believe him

[jimbo123]

The polling must be in. Thanks Sen Cruz!

[hal ogen]

Don’t “delay” it. Kill it! Delaying it for a year only gives the supporting pols cover and more time to think-up better lies to tell us. Freakin’ weasels.

[Para-Ord.45]

Uhh, why HELP them save THEIR law by delaying and repairing it !!??

Implement it all and let `er burn. It won`t be defunded

The Stupid Party strikes again.

[Conspiracy Guy]

True.

[usconservative]

I give Boehner less than 3 days after the nonsensical government "shut down" starts to fold like a cheap suit.

Any takers?

[bmwcyle]

The only thing we can do is have a pool on the hour he caves.

[DeWalt]

DEFUND IT!!!! KILL IT!!!! Don’t play stupid games.

[riri]

The rubes still meander along thinking "what me worry, Obamacare hasn't affected me"

OTOH, the entitlement class doesn't get their arm hooked up to the IV of yet another hit of OPM.

Torn.

[IronJack]

Screw your incrementalism! We don't want it "delayed." We want it SHUT DOWN! It never should have passed in the first place, and if you think you're going to placate us with another bunch of empty promises you two-faced wimp, you're sadly mistaken.

SHUT IT DOWN!!!!!

The House is in session, currently voting on waiving House rules to let members consider certain measures today, meaning the O-care issue. Could get interesting.

The Dims are already moaning and groaning and belly-aching about secret meetings they are not party to, and then advising the Republicans they should act like adults {{{chuckle, chuckle}}}

Watching on C-Span...

[nathanbedford]

If the House Republican caucus does not hold together all is lost. So I am encouraged that 100% of the attendees signaled their assent to this course of action.

However, I am not clear what the course of action is. Does it delay funding Obamacare for a year? Does it delay the individual mandate for a year? What exactly is delayed for a year and will Obama have the wherewithal to spend federal monies to propagandize against the Republicans for 12 months?

[BlueStateRightist]

Obamacare will be unpopular no matter when it’s implemented. The question is what strategy delivers the Senate and retains the house in 2014?

[Georgia Girl 2]

Yes Ted Cruz and the conservative House reps have taped a popsicle stick to Boehner’s back as a temporary spine just long enough to stand firm on the CR.

[The Cajun]

DELAY OBAMACARE A YEAR OR WE WILL SHUT IT DOWN - BOEHNER MAKES MOVE

Which means this could be the point he starts backing down from.

Watch him close folks, there's no reason to trust him.

And BTW, delay for a year is not damn near enough.

[stanne]

No, I am sure this is NOT what Ted Cruz was talking about.

Boehner could have said what he meant, ‘come over here and let me hit you or I’m gonna let you have my lunch money and my girlfriend’.

NOT what Cruz was saying.

[Lancey Howard]

This would not be happening if not for the efforts of Ted Cruz.

BUMP that!
Other brave GOP politicians deserve some credit, too, but Cruz was the leader. The true leader.

[Vendome]

Cruz for President!!!!

[boycott]

This would not be happening if not for the efforts of Ted Cruz.

Thankfully, the party may have found a leader.
