True. That's what he fears. The Tea Party will launch instant primary challengers against any Rep who votes for a clean CR, including Boehner. The unwritten "purity rule" is that no bill passes the House without majority Republican support. Collaborating with Democrats to pass anything is seen as not being conservative enough, which in their eyes is treasonous to the cause.

Not just Democrats. Republicans who aren't insane anarchists have also said they'd pass a clean CR.
Clean CR bill would pass that is why he has not done this already he is listening to a very few of the teabag a holes that know ACA will work and people will love it that is why the teabaggers do not want it they did not vote for it in the first place
Please point out when the House voted to pass the Obamacare tax increases..
The House passed the bill with a 219–212 vote on March 21, 2010. The amendment bill, The Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act, was also passed by the House on March 21.
To hear some in the house speak, it probably would pass. However, there will likely be hell to pay come primary season for those who vote for it, especially for reps from highly gerrymandered districts.
If a clean bill was to be put up, it would pass.... now, if there was a bill to give billions to liberals, it would also pass... doesn't mean we should do it..
I loved that he picked a book about an irate imbecile who adamantly declares again and again that he hates something that he's never tried. But in the end when he tries it he discovers he likes it after all. I cannot think of a more apt analogy to the Affordable Care Act.
...and written by a flaming Liberal at that. Cruz will wind up with egg on his face and maybe they will even be green Ted. The truth is that Cruz really does not care how The ACA will turn out in the long haul, he just needed a captive audience for his one man circus publicity stunt.
