Republicans say GOP needs 80 Democrats to pass the bill - source Jim Moran (CSPAN)
CSPAN ^ | 11 Dec 2014

Posted on 12/11/2014 5:51:12 PM PST by 11th_VA

Jim Moran came out of the RAT caucus and said they are saying they need 80 RATs to crossover. Doesn't think more than 50 - 60 will crossover.

House coming back at 9 pm to vote

A month of government shutdown with the Democrats being responsible would be a good thing. Close down until January and then the new Congress can deal with it.

Sadly, everything that comes out of Washington and the media is a lie.

But no I wasn’t trying to make any sort of accusation aginst you in terms of support of this bill or anything, I apologize if I came across that way.

I am just so frustrated with Boner as speaker.

I think America really needs members of the house to cut this guy loose.

He is going to toss this past election into the trash just as fast as he can.

I hope so too but if they are coming back to vote that may mean they have the votes they need to pass it

That probably depends on Pelosi - she hasn't spoken yet

I can’t believe that any dem would oppose this Bill. From their perspective, getting the illegal amnesty rolling is worth any other price. Any other “shortcomings” can be easily overcome in the future after the illegals are voting and the Repub party is in ashes due to this betrayal.

“Do you think the Bonehead reads Free Republic?”

Doubtful. Between plotting duplicity and the endless tanning bed sessions, he probably doesn’t have the time.

That's a really smart point.

The only sane and honest way to deal with this is a short-term extension and come back next year starting clean.

Which of course virtually guarantees they will try anything to avoid doing so.

What betrayal, what a lost opportunity, what a shame.

Frankly, I still don't understand why they just didn't do a CR through February and let the new (Republican Controlled) Congress deal with extended spending.

Boner will have none of that! He's a D.C. stooge that needs to have his Speakership rescinded! Post haste!

Call your Congresscritter and ask them to vote for a short term CR and vote against Boner!

I disagree. I think GOP would lve to let the Rats blow this up. It gives them political cover.

It's the lifting of CAPs for campaigns - if it goes thru, the GOPe will kill the Teaparty in primaries ...
