BS, These guys are saying one thing to the press while they plead with Boehner not to let the Senate bill come up for a vote. They can have it both ways -or they can have nothing.

http://blogs.rollcall.com/hawkings/gop-rebels-scour-the-back-pages-of-the-rule-book/";... members of the clean CR crowd generally maintain sort-of-centrist voting records and represent districts that already look competitive for the Democrats in 2014, or have the potential to get that way. An internal rebellion, which would surely push the leadership further to the right, is not in their interest.

In other words, these are among the few lawmakers who may need Boehner even more than he needs them.”

Most of those Pennsylvania ones are definitely not in safe Republican districts. They’re either in union-land or affluent-socially-liberal-soccer-mom land.
