Sources tell Breitbart News that several members of the House of Representatives are saying “the rumor is Boehner cut a deal with Pelosi.”
According to those sources, outgoing House Speaker Rep. John Boehner and Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi agreed that her Democratic caucus would join Boehner along with a handful of Boehner loyalists and moderate establishment Republicans to continue Planned Parenthood funding, along with a few other budget items President Obama says were must-haves, in order to avoid a Government shutdown.
Boehner resigned because he knew that after he cut that deal, conservatives in his own party would be so furious with him that it would make challenges to his Speakership a certainty, sources say. Even if he survived those challenges, his remaining year and three months in office would be contentious and personally uncomfortable for him.
One source specifically said that the deal was limited to a continuing resolution that would last only until December 11.
Boehner’s last day as Speaker and member of the House of Representatives is slated for October 30.
Boehner reportedly knew that cutting such a deal to avoid a shutdown would result in a brutal battle with conservatives in his own party. He felt he could win challenges to his leadership mounted by conservatives in his own party, but thought it might do damage to the House and the Republican Party, sources say.

Well, if the Senate can filibuster, then my plan won’t work. BHO will never get the chance to veto, and we will take the blame.
There must be some other non filibuster way we can defund, but I don’t know enough about Senate procedure to think of it.
Filibuster just plays into BHO’s hands.
Proving b0ner has been a Democrat all along!
The District of Corruption used to be a respected place of national purpose but is now a snake-pit of national wickedness.
Every rino that votes with Pelosi should be kicked out of the republican party. Make them run as a democrat and they’ll quickly learn that the democrats don’t want them.
Boner was crying so much in front of the pope because he believed he was talking to God. Those tears were him begging forgiveness for EVERYTHING.
The Rats floated a story a few days ago that a Government Shutdown would result in EBT Card Accounts not being funded.
I think that only 20% of the Government would actually Shut Down, but the Propagandist’s have convinced the Sheeple that it is nothing short of Armageddon.
Facts mean nothing in today’s America and Obama is the result.
Good grief. What a shabby little actor, he has been.
Now we have to send his cohorts along with him!
