This is an admission the Boehner has lost his caucus and Pelosi is running the House. Boehner actually intends to pass this with the full 'Rat caucus, delivered by Pelosi, and a rump of sufficient RINOs to make up a majority. Watch for those RINOs; they're the ones that most need primary extermination [note to NSA: in the electoral sense, I mean. In the electoral sense.]
Whenever the rare opportunity to reduce the size of the Spendaholic Federal Government approaches a decision point, the unchallenged and therefore invincible Obamanation Congressional Format, ( OCF ), unfolds flawlessly as follows:
* Permissive, weak and cowardly Speaker “Doormat” Boehner proclaims that THIS time he will protect and defend the US Constitution;
* “Assistant Doormat” Cantor will nod like the bobble head lap dog that he is;
* Cave-In, Con-Artist Ryan will make a side deal with his Pelosi Pals;
* “Rubberstamp” Reid will then approve whatever the Pelosi Pals have shamed Ryan into ramming through the House;
* Lazy, Anti-Work Obama will say “The OCF worked again! That was sooooo EASY!”
* The Left Stream Media will gently boo Boehner, while mildly applauding his “Bipartisan” Leadership;
* “Doormat” Boehner will then slink off sobbing, relieved that he dodged another major tongue-lashing from the Left Stream Media;
* Karl Rove will go on FOX and say “The Moderate House Republicans are showing that they are willing to work with Obama;”
* Krauthammer will go on FOX and say “Unbelievable;”
* The Conservative voters will say:
*** “Yup, permissive RINOs are no match for the Commies, Socialists and Democrats in Congress.
*** We are doomed to feel sorry for ourselves, again.
*** What shall we do?
*** Sigh - - - - .”
BTW, Boehner, Cantor and Ryan are all heavily favored to win re-election to their well-worn House seats in 2014 - - - - .

The voters in Boehner’s Ohio House District vote Boehner into the US House, and the US House Members vote to choose THEIR Speaker.
Weak, cowardly, permissive “Doormat” Boehner thus fairly represents our weak, cowardly, permissive, doormat RINOs.
The voters in Ohio are simply overjoyed that the US House RINO Members have loyally continued to keep in place a weak, cowardly, permissive, doormat Speaker who has ALWAYS caved in to Obama.
Boehner’s Speakership is safe, as our House RINOs just love to Cave In to Commies, Socialists, Democrats, and especially to Obama.
Oops, I feel a “Boehner” coming on! Please pass the Kleenex! Sob!
Yup, and the plan for immigration too.
Precisely. And -- to me, anyway -- that is good news.
If Boehner has to scramble to find even 18 GOP votes, it means the vast majority of the caucus is as fed up with the leadership as we are.
Ergo, his Speakership hangs by a thread -- and if he dares make a move to pass Immigration "Reform" by the same device, he's dead meat.
Effectively, Boehner is finished -- it's only a matter of time until the opposition coalesces around a replacement.
