FAIL:Moderate House Republicans failed to line up votes for separate plan

[tinydancer]

Geeze louise, look how quickly this so called "rebellion" fizzled.

They couldn't even get 17 votes needed. Dent and King should just pull a Specter and cross the floor and have done.

Go to where their heart is. With liberals. It would be "good riddance".

Rep. Charlie Dent, R-Pennsylvania, Rep. Peter King, R-New York, and others feverishly made calls to stage what would have been effectively a revolt.

They said they were hoping there were enough GOP members like them who were fed up with the tactics of the leadership that they can find enough votes to defeat the first procedural measure, known as the rule.

That would have prevented the House GOP leadership from even bringing their plan up at all. Because the moderate Republicans failed to generate enough support, the broader GOP bill that includes anti-Obamacare provisions will now go to a final vote.

Given the makeup of the GOP caucus, the House Republican moderates needed 17 Republicans to agree to defy their leadership, and be willing to face what will undoubtedly be the wrath of the conservative grassroots.

I guess, there were no "others".

And specter's path does not seem that tempting for those two

Fund our science and tech programs or face the fact that china will be number one soon.

This is the cold hard facts of life. I am sorry that the left wants to give half of this country free shit and welfare....

Sad seeing this country die.

No one is asking for uniformity.

The Republicans who voted to keep the government funded and for the delay of Obamacare were voting for their constituents.

Nothing more and nothing less.

These good men and women whether anyone likes it or not from the left were NOT elected to be Pro Obamacare.

The R's have actually been living up to their campaign promises and getting heavily slagged for it.

And it's freaking ridiculous that anyone in their right mind thinks that they should break their campaign promises and just do what the Democrats and the President wants.

That's plain crazy.
