With the current timetable, the House would probably not get the bill until Friday or Saturday.

That leaves little time for lawmakers to figure out their next move. Majority Republicans could choose to accept the Senate package, in turn keeping the government open past Monday -- they could then focus on a separate bill that would delay the health care law in exchange for raising the debt ceiling, which is the next fight on the horizon.

Or, Republicans could try once again to undermine the health law, bringing D.C. to the brink of a shutdown.

House Speaker John Boehner indicated Thursday that he plans to keep fighting. Asked if he'd accept the Senate bill as is, he said: "I do not see that happening."

Woo hoo! Go, Boehner GO!! Hold the line!! Defund obamacare!!

[fatnotlazy]

I don't trust Boehner or most of the rest of the republican traitors. I still expect them to fold like a cheap suit. Too bad we don't have more like Ted Cruz in both houses and in the White House.

It continues to amaze me how low Fox News has sunk.

And by the way, this column - - I mean "report" - - didn't even note Cruz's best comeback line to that coward, Corker:

“Why is Majority Leader Harry Reid going to vote the same way you’re proposing to vote? Why is every Democrat in this chamber going to vote the way you’re proposing to vote,” said Cruz.

I still don’t trust Boehner, but this is a good start. His feet need to be held to the fire..

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Woo hoo! Go, Boehner GO!! Hold the line!! Defund obamacare!!

I'm afraid the linguini will take over the spine that Boner seems to be showing. I'm afraid the cheap suit will fold before Boner keeps this (uncharacteristically) show of a spine! (Short) Time will tell!

[b4its2late]

Hope so... Obamacare, just like it’s namesake, will only damage this country, and our healthcare system even further.

[southernindymom]

I will believe it when I see it out of Boehner. He is spineless.

[Alamo-Girl]

Buuuuump!

[jazusamo]

Yes! This is very good news to log on to this morning, keep you’re word Mr. Speaker and defund 0bamacare!
