I've been reading this for a week, yet Boehner has been claiming that there aren't enough votes. He's lying through his teeth, but hey, that's what politicians do.
GOP members that are funded by big 'establishment' corps have been defecting from this fool's errand as well. Their masters are telling them 'enough already, knock it off'.
GOP members funded by the Tea Party, - my bad, I meant the Koch brothers and their accomplices - are the ones holding the whole thing hostage.
I almost feel bad for the orange, often loaded, prone to weeping Boehner. Almost. He's a Country Club Republican who got the plum job (speaker of the house) at the worst possible time: when his own party is having a civil war.
