Speaker Cruz: Boehner to implement Cruz's government funding strategy

http://blogs.rollcall.com/218/house-leaders-seize-on-ted-cruzs-idea-of-small-crs-for-each-agency/

House Republican leaders Tuesday told rank-and-file members that they will attempt to pass several separate bills to reopen the government a few agencies at a time.

A GOP aide confirmed that leaders want next steps to include passage of a series of continuing resolutions that fund individual government programs — an idea floated by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, Monday.

The substance and sequence of those bills has not been determined, but they would not include extraneous policy riders regarding Obamacare and would allow some key federal operations to resume while larger negotiations continue surrounding the fiscal 2014 funding.

He should quit his senate gig. Senate is going to be saying "NO" a lot in the next few days.

And now you know how much the 0.1% loathe Obamacare. Their paid hit men are working 24/7 on any angle to stop it.

Just because someone is evil, that doesn't mean they're stupid.
