Headline at Drudge Report "DELAY OBAMACARE A YEAR OR WE WILL SHUT IT DOWN - BOEHNER MAKES MOVE"
Which is why O & crew probably won't buy it. But if they do you're right, we could start the fight months earlier and let them have the election hanging over their head by the October.
Yes Ted Cruz and the conservative House reps have taped a popsicle stick to Boehner’s back as a temporary spine just long enough to stand firm on the CR.
Which means this could be the point he starts backing down from.
Watch him close folks, there's no reason to trust him.
And BTW, delay for a year is not damn near enough.
Boner made a mistake. This is certainly not what he intended but so what? Take advantage of it. Let him think himself brilliant and fully support any of his mistaken efforts to kill O-care.
No, I am sure this is NOT what Ted Cruz was talking about.
Boehner could have said what he meant, ‘come over here and let me hit you or I’m gonna let you have my lunch money and my girlfriend’.
NOT what Cruz was saying.
Actually, it’s the budget issue more than the O-care issue, but it’s all tied together.
A politician does something good and you slug him one
that really insures success
Strategy is: Delay for a year, until a month before the election. Conservatives will again be harangued with the old standby argument, if you don’t vote for RINO-Repub, Obamacare becomes the law! Tea Party candidate is a nice guy but he/she just can’t win! You MUST hold your nose, just this one more time, and re-elect the RINO.
It’s never about what’s conservative with this crew. It’s only about their campaigns.
BUMP that!
Other brave GOP politicians deserve some credit, too, but Cruz was the leader. The true leader.
Cruz for President!!!!
The only way to get the vast majority of the Bush Tax cuts made permanent was by delaying their ending. I think that is the strategy and why the Rats are fighting so hard.
I have thought the same thing ...but if all the facts and numbers are revealed in that year and you get more support to kill it
Its a good thing
What imbecilic entitlement law in the past has been reversed because it was a disaster? Social Security? Medicare? Food Stamps? WIC? Please, tell me why Obamacare’s crashing and burning would be any different.
This would not be happening if not for the efforts of Ted Cruz.
Thankfully, the party may have found a leader.
We FReepers all know that nobamacare is a disaster waiting to happen on the way to single-payer.
IMHO, the delay should be nine months. That gives plenty of time (July-November) for Americans to experience this mess before the mid-term elections. Delaying it a year only gives a month for this experience.
Re: the polling: I was thinking the same.
It appears the Senate made a mistake and need to think again... send the bill back in the original form with that note attached.
Delay is caving. Repeal the stupid law.
Forced cry baby’s hand. He fears to lose his prestigious position as House Leader.

Will America get over shutting the government down for a few days/weeks?........Yes
Will America get over Obamacare if implemented?.......No.
Hold the line Mr.Boehner. Send back the same bill you first sent over and tell Reid....."This is the bill".
