At the last GOP conference meeting of the two-week government shutdown, no lawmakers went to the microphones to give their take.
Instead, after Speaker John Boehner told Republicans they had “fought the good fight,” they all rose up to offer a standing ovation. “It was one of the easiest meetings we’ve ever had,” says Representative Mick Mulvaney of South Carolina.
“I think he has strengthened his position in leadership,” Representative John Fleming says about Boehner. “He hung in there with us. He’s been reluctant to go to these fights and now that we have stood up and fought for our values and he’s been there with us, leading, I think his stock has risen tremendously. He has great security as our leader and our speaker.”
The message from Boehner and majority leader Eric Cantor was unity, with warnings not to point fingers of blame.
So not fighting is fighting--all they have done is KICK THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD and we have BoehnerCare here to stay--And bureaucrats stood up a gave a hand job to a fellow bureaucrat so they can continue to be bureaucrats and run things and continue with same old same old

This is anything but done. These clowns just gave themselves a 90 extension, which at that time will be converted to another 90 day extension or 180 day extension depending on who folds faster.
