There are now reportedly a total of 18 House Republicans ready to throw in the towel in the current battle over Obamacare in order to end the first government shutdown in 17 years. As TheBlaze reported on Tuesday, Democrats needs just 17 GOP lawmakers to defect from the majority of Republicans in the House to pass a “clean” continuing resolution that fully funds both Obamacare and the federal government.

We have a list of Republican Senators that support ObamaCare; now we will have a list of Republican Congressmen that support ObamaCare, as well.

I am so glad RINO Simpson has a primary challenger this time around. This POS has been a sell-out of Idaho residents for years, but a certain demographic in the Eastern part of the state keeps sending him back to stick it to us again and again. Even before I looked at the list I knew the milk toast go-along-get-along weak kneed pansy would be one of the crapweasels willing to cave to the Democrats.

Actually, I don’t think there is a path to a so-called “clean CR” unless Boehner caves.

Who knows what he, Pelosi, Reid, and McConnell are plotting at their little pow wow right now.

Stop being a gullible idiot. The article is fake hype to juice up the naive.

THIS is the party we put our support in?? THIS is what we get for voting for these idiots. THIS is what the Dims sit at home at night, drink and have a hoot over. They know these idiots will cave. They KNOW it. It is in the winnies blood to cave. The republican party can go straight to Hades as far as I am concerned. I’d rather vote for some 3d party person who at least keeps his word and loses than vote for a stupid republican who caves. COWARDS!!!

When you read these ‘individual’ mostly 2nd hand remarks, it would be nice to
a/hear it from the Congressman,
b/ see the entire context it was given in,
c/if my staff is ‘tweeting, twitting, twatting or whatever they call it, it is time for a trip to the woodshed,
d/Why is the Huffington Post the ‘main catalyst’ in this supposed expose?

I have no doubt there are enough ‘traitors’ in the pack to be concerned about, BUT this just seems like ‘panic, gotcha’ lines.

BS, These guys are saying one thing to the press while they plead with Boehner not to let the Senate bill come up for a vote. They can have it both ways -or they can have nothing.

http://blogs.rollcall.com/hawkings/gop-rebels-scour-the-back-pages-of-the-rule-book/";... members of the clean CR crowd generally maintain sort-of-centrist voting records and represent districts that already look competitive for the Democrats in 2014, or have the potential to get that way. An internal rebellion, which would surely push the leadership further to the right, is not in their interest.

In other words, these are among the few lawmakers who may need Boehner even more than he needs them.”

“Not that it matters for the most part as Boehner has to let such a clean CR come up for a vote in the first place. Let’s see how long it takes him to cave. “

He’ll cave as soon as the media starts shouting that there’s enough GOP support to get a “clean bill” out of the House.
When he starts to personally catch the heat, he’ll fold.

I know it’s not a popular opinion here but I think this is going to really cost the GOP.

Just remember your integrity and manhood honor to publicly apologize to me here when there is no caving of the GOP at the end of this week.

You do have honor?
