So much for Boner's "poker hand". Looks like the GOP is going to surrender. Again.

Again I ask, what inducement has been promised or given to the Republican party in exchange for selling out the people who voted for them?

It may be true that Boehner may cave eventually, but I think his plan is sound. No shutdown, no media hype, and he’s going to stick it back to senate democrats who are threatening to filibuster a conference.

He may be shamming us and only buying time, but to his credit, he’s sticking to regular order: when the House and Senate disagree, they conference and work out their differences. McConnell and Reid just want the House to rubber-stamp whatever they’ve cooked up together.

So it’s a done deal.

Two gang bangers in the White House and the DHS can hijack the entire government and simply legitimize an invasion, Congress and the Constitution be damned.

Hussein the Terrorist wins again, in a breathtaking seizure of power.

Judge Hanen? Obama don’t care. Gonna go right on doing what he be doing.

A Constitutional Crisis, solved by the “Republicans”....by surrendering.

Carnak, the magnificent, he who knows all and sees all will predict that Bonehead and McDorkell will bend over and be the mamas to Reid.

Which is not a risk whatsoever, given the fact that it’s surprising that they both not yet been impregnated by Reid.

Apologies for the grossness, but face it, it’s the twuth!!

That’s my Congressman! I can’t tell you how proud I am of you, Boner. Holding my vote from you has had NO effect whatsoever.

I'm sure it will be argued to the judge by the administration, "Look judge, this shows the congress had no intent to stop this. They're ok with it."

It’s the same old game that I’ve seen played by the GOP over and over again — talk conservative, then kiss liberal/Democrat Party ass. Anything to avoid being called names by the Democrat Party media.

Another surrender from our victorious Republicans. Unbelievable that they do not know how or want to act on their November victory put a stop to Obama. Guess they have been sipping the Kool-Aid.

Three things you can bank on. ISIS is going to continue killing with no letup. Democrats will always use the race card. Washington Republicans roll over like dogs.

It doesn’t look like they’ve surrendered to me ... it looks like they’ve put it off for a few weeks. That’s a different story.

After witnessing this, my bet is Bibi cancelled his plane tickets.

“going to stick it back to senate democrats who are threatening to filibuster a conference.”

Dems used the nuclear option on us. Now its time we use it back. Just don’t let them filibuster.

As much as I detest the leadership of the congressional Republicans they are strong and firm in their support for Israel. Bibi will still speak next week and I don’t think Speaker Bonehead will rescind the invite to speak before congress.

I believe they’re voting on it now.

The House floor is practically deserted though...

Two parties in Washington, but only one idea for moving forward on any problem.
