There is a way out of the crises for Republicans..(those who care about this country)

[Stuart G]

A small number, maybe 20, vote with the Democrats in the House.. to move along and forget this confrontation that seems to be here. Yep, 20 or whatever the number of House Republicans, have to go along with the Democratic minority to prevent a close down of government....
Those that do, can say they are trying to save the country from a crises. I don't know if there are that many or is it 17, that care enough to break the backs of the idiots, but maybe there are. Maybe. But I doubt it.. It is very sad...

1. The problem being

that the majority has to call for a vote don't they?

I'm not all that up on all the procedural crap those idiots have developed over the years but I'm not sure the minority party can force a vote of any kind in the House.

2. Perhaps you are correct..but

can't those 17 or 18, just on this issue, go along with the Democrats to call a vote. Or stop this insane behavior?

3. They can force a vote through

the discharge petition process.

4. Do you really believe

there are 20 Republicans who care about this country?
