Is Boehner finding a backbone? I sure hope so.

Go John.

I seriously doubt it. If he caves on this, then he's totally worthless and nothing more than an establishment RINO.

I have seriously criticized Boehner the past few weeks. But he has been negotiating, outnumbered 3-1, against 0bama, Reid and Biden, and hasn’t caved yet.

I am willing to support him right now and am glad to see that he is holding his position and forcing the dems to put up or shut up.

This is going pretty well right now.

Good approach.

The longer this brinksmanship continues, the more people begin to think about the issues involved.

The more people start to think.

Don’t back down GOP. Don’t back down.

Don’t EVER back down.

Boehner entered the office he was overwhelmed. Yes, he is growing with the office.

I'm right with you.

The suspense is incredible, isn't it?

They need to fund the Military until the end of the fiscal year in this one.

Am I reading this right that Boehner will extend Fridays deadline is that what they are calling a stopgap, if so he’s is nothing but a Candy A$$ Rino.

Is Dingy Harry now the Speaker's press flunky? That's how the lead of the article reads.

I agree, but I don't know what is in the bill. The theory, I would guess, is if it is passed then they don't have to worry because the govt won't shut down.

He has NOT inspired much confidence so far but right at this moment he is looking good. Keep it up John!

Are they serious? Another "stopgap measure" is caving. The crybaby has got to go!

He is putting it to the dems that they need to put up or shut up. In this way they can't blame the pubbies for the shut down. This is good strategy.

It is NOT the ultimate goal to shut down the govt. It is the ultimate goal to GET WHAT WE WANT PASSED INTO LAW.

We need to keep this in mind. Keep your eye on the ball.

Let Harry Reid and the Democrats shut down the government because they want the U.S. taxpayers to keep paying for the murder of unborn babies by continuing to fund Planned Parenthood. The Republicans should want to fight that one on TV. This is the hill worth dying on because “Thou shalt not murder” is God’s command, and it is not optional for Christians.

I’m sure neither side wants to “hold” a soldiers pay.

I think he is doing a good job when you consider the trash he has to deal with.
