House Republicans Are Deciding Whether They Should Totally Cave to Obama Now or Later

A senior House Republican has let it leak that Republicans are so desperate to get out of the government shutdown/debt ceiling standoff that they are debating whether to cave to President Obama now or later.

According to CNN:

One idea being considered to end the immediate fiscal impasse is a bill to fund the government and extend the nation’s borrowing authority for six weeks, a senior Republican member of the House told CNN Chief Political Analyst Gloria Borger.

The congressman agreed to speak with CNN on the condition of anonymity.

The GOP lawmaker said a committee could then be set up to negotiate the fiscal issues dividing the two parties and negotiate a plan to keep the government funded for the rest of the year without the proverbial gun to their heads.

This idea of an extension being floated among Republicans would give everyone a temporary political reprieve. It would give them a way to reopen the government but bypass the issue of tying it to a change in Obamacare, as well as avert a crisis over whether to raise the nation’s debt limit by Oct. 17 when the Treasury Department has said it will run out of money to pay its bills.

3. Just pass the clean CR so we don't have to go through this shit again in 6 weeks

If they think people are going to cheer them for pulling the gun away only to create another crisis in six weeks they are wrong. It is time for them to realize they lost and accept their loss.

7. Like a bunch of junkies

Just give us another six weeks. C'mon, man. It'll be different this time. Promise...

8. I'll believe it when a News organization comes out quoting it

CNN is more like Entertainment Tonight. They're more about trying to give their viewers enough to keep them watching.

I don't find them credible.
