The only worry I have is these gutless liberal Pubs. The Rats count on them folding. If they don't in a week or two the pressure will be all on the Rats.
What did the House do?
1. They voted that the individual mandate should be delayed just like the employer mandate.
2. They voted that Congress should be subject to the law just like everyone else and as it was written into the law.
In time the uninformed public will learn that these 2 points are all we are fighting over and these 2 points are more than reasonable. Also, it is the POTUS who won't negotiate with the elected representatives of this country, but will negotiate with terrorist states and terrorists.
Who is being unreasonable?
As before the shutdown I still see the House Rs giving in eventually rather than Obama and Reid.
Already the Dems are all holding together 100% and are all aggressively repeating the same a set of well controlled points : ‘Terrorists’, ‘hostage takers’, ‘ransom’, "blow up enconomy'.
On the GOP side there already are a few Housr Rs on TV pleading with Bohner to put Reids CR up for a vote, we can assume not many freepers in their house districts. (one is from Northern VA which has lots of GS jobs now shutdown). We can expect more of that as time goes on.
In comparison Rs talking points are not well controlled like Dems are and they seem on the defensive in interviews, example : you dont see Dems promising to give up their salaries like Rs are when challenged by TV hosts.
