Senate Republicans want to speed up the debate over the stopgap spending measure in order to give Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) enough time to make a counteroffer to Senate Democrats......
[SNIP]
At a special meeting held in the Strom Thurmond Room, GOP senators discussed speeding up the debate in the upper chamber this week.
“There were a lot of us that thought giving the House some time to send back another policy,” said Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.). “There was a lot of discussion about giving back time on the motion to proceed so that possibly the House wouldn’t be jammed and would have time to think about what they might send back.
They fear if Boehner does not receive the Senate-amended stopgap until Sunday night or Monday morning, he would not have enough time to change it and send it back across the Capitol without causing a government shutdown.....

Translation, Boehner and Cantor have told McConnell and Cornyn to hurry up in the Senate so that he will have enough time to sell out the country again on September 30.
What’s been lost in all this is: what happens in December when this CR runs out. The same thing again?? Another capitualtion?? A quick bundling of spending bills in one big pile and one vote...again??
Look at it from the Left’s point of view: The government does not know how to access the “penalties” at this time, in the individual Marketplace, I am guessing that the Feds also are not ready to help with the “subsidy” issues either.
They either have to admit that they are not ready, or suffer the wrath of voters when it is obvious that they are not ready. -— or they now “blame it on Republicans” and kick the can down the road a year?
What do you think they will do, in the end?
I am an Insurance Agent. I have been waiting for an hour and a half to get logged into the ACA training class, which is put on by CMS, the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services.
They are not ready.
People will not forget. The more Obamacare is rammed down our throats the more people will hate it. Few people are feeling the effects yet. ONce they do they’ll remember it as Cruz who stood up and wanted to do something about it.

When will the real fight begin? The pols on the Hill forget what is at stake here. If Obama’s DeathCare gets funded EVER then there will not be anything to fight for. The country will be lost, the Constitution turned into more of a door mat than it already is, and Americans get their first BIG taste of radical Marxism. It is really now or never — so who should care if the government gets shut down and who gets blamed? That is NOT THE ISSUE!!!

Love this guy.
This Corker Senate gimmick does not pass the smell test.
Away from the fog of the controersy, “No” is still “NO!”
“No pain, no gain!”
Sham pain to our real friends,
And real pain to Old-Style Republican politicians.
True. The problem with implementing this SocializedMedicineCr@pSandwich is that once it's implemented -- like ALL other social programs -- it's next to impossible to revoke.
At least Senators Cruz and Lee will go down on the right side...as trying to save us from this monster 0SocialismCare.
GeldingCare. The GOPe owns it.
They’ll say anything to give Harry what he wants.
And if it gets Harry what he wants the media will treat what they say with respect.
What Harry wants now is to run the Senate after 2014 and the Republicans are doing their best to show it’s no use voting for them.
When people stop receiving their precious handout checks, they WILL notice.
