If Mick didn't have Jello for a spine, he wouldn't have any spine at all.

Beginning of the cave. First sign of weakening.

Why does this idiot even bother to show up with pants on? He has nothing to cover up.

[RummyChick]

How do you fund Obamacare for a week???

That might work if the democRATs were actually negotiating. Truth is you're just delaying the inevitable, the caving of the GOP.

“Government shutdown? Nonsense. Only in our dreams will the U.S. government shut down. The current flap about an impending shutdown represents only the latest episode in the soap opera that stars the government as the hysterical teenage drama queen. For fiscal year 2013, which will end in a week, estimated federal revenue is expected to be about $2.7 trillion. In real terms, this revenue is roughly equal to the amount the government spent ten years ago, near the beginning of the Bush II administration.”

All one week will do is give the media 168 more hours to blame Republicans and sway public opinion in the direction of the low-information idiots out there.

NO NO NO. 8 hours and shut down

Send it to him anyway. Everything that makes the Democrats look even more unreasonable is worth the effort. Follow it up at 11pm with a one hour extension.

[InterceptPoint]

No, this is not Ted Cruz. But there may be a genetic connection. And certainly a philosophical one.

History buffs will recognize him instantly and all Freepers will as well. OTOH, this guy is unknown to most if not all Dems and, apparently, many formerly trusted Pubbies.

It is impossible to brace up the GOPe leadership for any length of time. It is worse than nailing Jello to a wall and the GOP can't win with this internal split. I think the leadership would be much happier being the token opposition as minority leaders than supporting the base and those who elected them.

Obama talks to Reid. Reid talks to McConnell. McConnell talks to Boehner. Republicans cave.

SIT ON YOUR HANDS AND SHUT UP MM!

[Political Junkie Too]

Why are they not calling for piecemeal funding? Because they are afraid that it might work?
