[a snip] "..... Reports that Boehner could lean heavily on Democrats had unnerved some conservative Republicans who have often battled their Speaker, but GOP Rep. Tim Huelskamp (Kan.) left the meeting on Friday saying his conference was incredibly unified.
The Speakers message to the rank-and-file, according to a lawmaker in the room, was to just relax about any stories that he might buck conservatives and strike the sort of deal that would leave many of them unhappy.
I was opposed to shutting the government down -- that's no secret, Boehner told the conference. I'm opposed to defaulting on the debt -- that's no secret.
Following the meeting, it seemed that Boehners message had helped rally both conservatives and more centrist parts of the GOP conference to his side.

Am I witnessing a Miracle?
Boner HAS to say he is amenable, because he wants to come across as the Reasonable one, and let Obama look like the spoiled brat that he is.
I think Boehner realizes now that this is an existential fight. A fight for the existence of the GOP and for the Republic. If he backs down here and the Republican House blinks, it’s over. Permanently.
Amen
Bammy likes to hold meetings with his opponents where he can use their civility against them to insult them publicly. Think Supremes, McCain, Ryan. Maybe this last meeting with Obama finally awakened Boehner to the kind of person he’s dealing with. It’s a shame it has taken this long.
I’ll take my with mustard, please.
I’ll take mine with mustard, please.
Speaking of McCain, where has that horses a$$ been?
They are not DEFAULTING on the debt. As money comes in —pay the debt first. Then pay social security then pay a list of priorities but never obamacare. It is so easy and will make us so happy each day until obama decides he is not a dictator.
I agree with you. Its an existential fight and one that has to be won. There’s no turning back.
When you stand up to bullies, they always back down. We can win this one if we keep the pressure on and hold the line.
Sending our best you’all. Keep on drivin’ on!
See, those kinds of statements, from the Boner, just make feel very uneasy. Like he's about to do exactly what he just denied. I just don't trust the dude.
With the Dems refusing to pass ANY bill funding the gub'mint, it is they who are defaulting. Repubs should be in front of TV cameras en masse spouting this.
Show your support folks...its important!

Now, watch out they don’t push some other shenanigans (cough)Amnesty(cough) onto us.
Just because they think our attention is occupied.
