In what is seen as a major turn around, House Speaker, John Boehner has announced that the House will move to defund Obamacare, while providing funding for the rest of the government, at least on a temporary basis. This will put pressure on Harry Reid and the senate democrats, who have been trying to convince voters that the republicans are trying to shut down the government.
This effectively ends the compromise Boehner had made with the democrats to try to sell his fellow republicans on the idea of funding the unpopular program. The bill that's expected to be offered today, would tie the defunding of Obamacare with the continuing resolution, meant to keep the government running. The bill has about 80 cosponsors, with eleven new ones signing onboard yesterday alone.

I'm afraid that's my feeling, too. So far, Boner has failed his base 100%, when it comes to what he actually has done, rather than what he has variously promised to do.
Empty promises, every one of them.
I will have a NEW respect for Boehner and Cantor if they can keep ALL the caucus together....GO PUBBIES!!!
The best way to fix a broken system is to SHUT IT DOWN, and THEN fix it.
Newt SHUT DOWN the US Federal Government in the 1990’s and it WORKED!
The Liberal Agenda Media and the Democrats boo-hooed to this day, but Newt achieved success.

The only way to force a spoiled brat to behave is to punish, punish, punish.
The worst punishment that a Democrat, or RINO can imagine is to take away their ability to spend our tax dollars.
The best way to do that is to shutdown the non-essental parts of the US Federal Government, starting with mothballing Air Force One.
PRISM
Afraid you’re right.
I'm sure too. Watch what he does when this returns in reconciliation. That's the version to watch.
“BonerCare”..... LMAO!!
