10:33 p.m. ET – CNN Senior Congressional Correspondent Dana Bash was told by sources in the GOP meeting that Boehner is outlining the parameters of a tentative deal, while saying there is no firm agreement yet. He is telling the GOP caucus that he believes there should be short term measure to keep the government running after midnight tonight.

Shut down and there is blame to be laid. No shut down and there is credit to be taken. But who get what? Either way? Stat tuned. lol

“Beltway benefactors”...we never watch them.

So the illegitimate children who call themselves Republicans are going to vote to murder some more babies, and to kiss the a** of Obama (Abu Oama)?

This country is broken beyond mere political fixes, methinks.

[Pox]

I believe that very few freepers actually thought the republicans would have the spine necessary to stand their ground.

The Federal Government is the enemy, IMO.
