Seventeen House Republicans have now indicated that they would support a “clean” continuing resolution, like the one passed by the U.S. Senate, to reopen the government. If they joined with all 200 House Democrats, it is possible that they could give majority support to such a bill without any additional Republicans — if Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) allowed an up-or-down vote.

1. Don't be a dick, Boehner

n/t

[ecstatic]

2. I doubt it'll happen. They're preparing more exemptions

for a few agencies that teabaggers will allow to reopen despite the shutdown. I don't think they plan on ending the shutdown anytime soon.

3. Democrats should make is an all or nothing vote.

Let the Republicans take the blame for the whole thing. Democrats should not give even one inch in this fight.

6. I agree. Americans should know what a shutdown means

Repugs should not be allowed to pretend like a shutdown is harmless.

4. Time to sue Boner for "Specific performance"

Force the boner to do his job and schedule a clean vote.
