2 bills sent to the Senate.
each with compromises
Harry Reid doesn't want to bring them to the floor, without his personal amendment and his amendment only.
Wonder if o will accept the Senate version and sign it with no House approval?
"There are 233 Republicans in the House. Insiders estimate that three-quarters of them, or about 175 GOP lawmakers, are willing, and perhaps even eager, to vote for a continuing resolution that funds the government without pressing the Republican goal of defunding or delaying Obamacare.
On the other side, insiders estimate about 30 House Republicans believe strongly that Obamacare is such a far-reaching and harmful law that the GOP should do everything it can--everything--to stop it or slow it down.
Another 20 to 30 GOP members sympathize with that position but might be willing to compromise, except for the fact that they fear a primary challenge from the Right.
In the continuing resolution fight, it is the 30 most committed members, along with their 20-30 allies in the next-most-committed group, who are setting the House Republican agenda. The ones pushing for a fight over Obamacare, even if it leads to a shutdown, are controlling what the House does."

Well, .....I know what you mean.
Executive dictatorship and all that stuff
You are aware that every president has the ability to use executive orders, this isn't something new that Obama made up because he wanted to be a "dictator."

It's time for those 175 GOP House members to stand up and be heard.
As you say - there are 233 Republicans in the House. Some say there are 17 of the Tea-Jadists, Arsonists, Anarchists, Extremists ..... as demonized by Media, Pelosi, Reid, Obama - in order. You say there are 25 of these "extremist" types - Math would indicate that over 200 Republicans can out-vote the "extremists" ....... so why haven't they?
They don't even need to Democrats to pass this CR that will cave in to Harry (I will not negotiate) Reid and (I will not even talk to Republicans) Obama.
This appears to be a done deal now. Good Job and no Shut-down. Everyone can relax and breath a sigh of relief for surviving yet another Crisis du Jour.
