Pass it anyway, and make them kill it. Then refuse to vote on the Reid bill.

Exactly.

And send back a more austere second House plan. Kill a liberal program each time. NPR, for instance. NEA the next time. Keep killing their sacred cows, one by one, till they accept a House plan. If BO vetoes, kill three of their sacred cows in the next House plan, or defund in its entirety some African or Jihadist whoopee money program. Grind some budgetary bootheels on their boondoggle plums.

Fight. For once.

Or be replaced.

Tactically it would be better to vote the Reid bill down rather then "refusing" to vote on it. No point in giving the MSM any ammo about "petulant' Republicans being "obstructionists". Lord knows the MSM will never make an issue of the Senate non-vote.

NO! Do not pass the kick-the-can-ten-years load of crap. It isn't worth the paper it's printed on. It does not meet any conservative goals. It is unenforceable beyond the current Congress. Pass the Cut, Cap, and Balance bill instead. Make them kill that. At least it enjoyed full support of the Republicans in both Houses and met some of the conservative ambitions. When the liberals have already promised obstruction, dig in with the strongest bill you have. Otherwise you've already given up too much before the real bartering begins. The Boehner bill is, to be kind, a crap sandwich. Boehner and Cantor have truly stabbed us in the back by undermining CCB. They are doing the liberals' dirty work for them. They are snatching defeat from the jaws of victory before our very eyes.

In a very cynical way this is the best possible result. The Boehner Plan doesn't cut nearly enough. So by rejecting it the Dems take the blame and we get a massive across the board cut when the money runs out some time next month. It won't be 12:01 on the second like Obama says, but it will probably be some time in August.
