Reid folded on the riders? No he didn’t. None of them are going to become law. The Senate will vote on them, that is all. We don’t need any more symbolic votes. They had a much better chance getting them into law by putting them in the CR and having the government shut down. The people are with us and this isn’t 1995.

Why are we negotiating out of weakness. Boehner should simply state, “I won’t pass any CR without the Obamacare and PP defunding riders, and that’s our starting position.” Isn’t the opposite Obama’s starting position? Why can’t we negotiate out of strenth, like Obama is doing?

You are clueless. The big battles are yet to come. Boehner has won every battle to date, and now the House GOP is finding its legs.

There is much in this the Left will despise - beginnging with $
8 Billion more in spending cuts than anticipated.

Moreover, Reid will LOSE to the votes on PP and EPA in the Senate.
