Via the Corner, the exciting conclusion to Friday afternoons drama about the Dems trying to force Boehner to bring a clean CR to the floor. Pelosi sent a letter to him on Saturday signed by 195 House Democrats calling for a vote; that means all shed need for a successful discharge petition is 22 House Republicans to sign too and coincidentally, there are 22 House Republicans whove said things to the effect that a clean CR would be awfully nice right now. Peter King, whose incessant Cruz-bashing has made him the new de facto RINO Pope, is of course one of them. Surely hell sign Pelosis petition, then, right?
Nope. Its not going to go anywhere, he says, and hes right. Like I said Friday, its one thing to bash the Cruz wing and call for an end to the shutdown, its another to promise your vote to Nancy Pelosi. If youre going to jump off that bridge, you want to make sure the other 21 Republicans whove called for a clean CR are prepared to jump with you. Otherwise, youre risking a ferocious conservative backlash over a discharge petition thatll ultimately fall short of the 217 it needs, which means youve risked everything for nothing. And remember King already has some experience with seeing Great RINO Revolts fall flat.

CNN just now “...why won’t Republicans give in to Obama?”
Basic Meme:
Obama won’t negotiate ANYTHING, so it’s Republicans fault, namely THE TEA PARTY...

Boehner’s done a great job on discipline. We need to remember this when things don’t seem to be going our way.

Peter King is the U.S. Representative for New York's 2nd congressional district.
He is not a senator and never has been.

King doesn't want to find himself buried under a ton of conservative bricks; note too the absence of any McCain/Graham ‘gang’ in the senate.

I went to a Mexican restaurant for lunch today. There was a van with government plates in the lot.
Guess some parts of government aren’t shut down.
I took an hour lunch...van was still there when I left.
Guess some federal employees take a long lunch, even in a shutdown.

I humbly submit my mea culpa - I had the wrong rino.
He is the the house's rino king - my bad -Please choose from the following excuses: public schooled you know, the sun was in my eyes and part of brain is a national treasure that has been closed off due to the government shutdown, Bud Selig was a meany to me, Carlos Danger was trying to IM me and I was confused, I recently contracted a contagious form of Joe Bidenites and now every thing tastes like sweat socks.
