Republican Centrists Plot Revolt to End Government Shutdown

"SNIP.............................


Many speculate that Boehner would face a conservative mutiny if he simply brought up a clean CR to be passed by Democrats and a small number of moderate Republicans.

Boehner needs at least 116 Republicans to vote for a CR. That’s half of the Republican Conference’s 232 members, and if Boehner had 116 Republicans to vote for a clean CR, the conservative mutiny would have to stand up to the majority of Republicans in the conference.

But there aren’t 116 Republicans supporting a clean CR — at least not yet and not publicly.

And the moderate group is still waiting to see if Boehner can pull out a deal with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and President Barack Obama.

2. 232 men enter, how many are standing up at the end?

3. What "Deal" is there to be had?

If they think something is still in the works or is possible OUTSIDE of the House passing a clear CR, they are just as dumb as the "NOT-Moderates"...How hard is this REALLY, to understand???
