"The legislative coalition the president has relied upon to force his health care law on the American people.”

Which we now know includes up to 25 members of the Republican Minority in the Senate and and an equal number in the House.

I called my local board of elections just now. I am going to un-register to vote. Let the Democrats have it all!

By the way, Bohner, why don’t you just ask Reid to send you the immigration bill so you can pass it today? This way you can avoid any more confrontations.

Also, you might want to ask obamma what else he wants and go ahead and schedule a vote. No use fighting him if you are going to cave anyway!

By the way, you are worthless as a leader.

So basically, it’s not going to be something you enjoy - this Obmacare. Don’t worry, we’re here for you.

Whatever...

Since he is talking about the risk of default, it seems like he has pretty much admitted that he plans on simply bringing the bill to the House floor for a majority vote, which means pretty much a near 100 % chance of it passing.

In any event, now that actual conservatives have gotten national attention, now is the time to pick up the pace in our fighting this, from grassroots to federal levels and everything in between, and put even more pressure one everyone int he next round of debt fights.

Unfortunately, it’s the best that could be expected given the current makeup of Congress. But they held on for 16 days before they caved. And the Rats showed themselves vindictive by Barrycading open air monuments, preventing priests from saying mass for the Armed Forces, etc. Though not widely reported on the MSM, the social media reported enough to get any reasonably informed person information on what was happening. Of course the low-information voter still had no idea if he/she just listened to the afternoon soaps and gossip interview shows.

RE :” But blocking the bipartisan agreement reached today by the members of the Senate will not be a tactic for us. In addition to the risk of default, doing so would open the door for the Democratic majority in Washington to raise taxes again on the American people and undo the spending caps in the 2011 Budget Control Act without replacing them with better spending cuts. “

No-one could have predicted this. No one:

Translation: They won everything, we lost everything. We're not going to fight, and we didn't mean what we said when we campaigned against Obamacare.

However, even though you are watching us surrender unconditionally and suffer complete, utter, and total defeat, you should trust that we will find some way to fight targeted areas of Obamacare some time in the future.

IOW, having a GOP majority in the House means nothing. The Democrats still get everything they want with the GOP in charge of the House.

Did he mention how Obama convinced him by that EBT card debacle on Saturday?

Just called Raul Labrador's office. The girl said Raul was in conference and she didn't know how he would vote.

I told her that if Labrador votes with a minority of Repubs and majority of Dems to pass this bill, we in Idaho will know that he is not a conservative.

There is still time for the republican caucus to convene and remove him as Speaker and for a new Speaker to table the vote.

HOEVEN JUST NOW on Fox Biz:

“We didn’t get what we want, but we will get a process to negotiate in the future.”

YOU CANNOT NEGOTIATE WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOTHING TO GAIN BY DOING SO.

The health and welfare of the American People is of NO CONCERN to the Radical Academic Socialists now in charge. Until the Beltway Bubble People realize this, we are just screwed.

He tells us that the house has fought with everything it has and the fight will continue and I’m supposed to believe him? Sounds more like he cried, “uncle”.

“But blocking the bipartisan agreement reached today by the members of the Senate will not be a tactic for us.”

Since blocking is the only tactic Boehner has, I guess he just unconditionally surrendered.

Crock of shite.

House majority had every constitutional reason, every moral reason and every punitive reason to lock-in this shutdown.

But no, chicken shiz as they are, can’t sweat a 1 month bad news cycle.

I’m with ya. Never ever voting GOP again. I’ll be throwing away my vote on real conservatives.

He left off “We surrender”. Sure that’s just an oversight.
