Here’s how my sources expect the gambit to unfold: The House passes a “defund CR,” throws it to the Senate, and waits to see what Senator Ted Cruz and his allies can do. Maybe they can get it through, maybe they can’t. Boehner and Cantor will be supportive, and conservative activists will rally.
But if Cruz and company can’t round up the votes, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid rejects the legislation, the House leadership will likely ask Republicans to turn their focus to the debt limit, avert a shutdown, and pass a revised CR — a stopgap spending bill that doesn’t defund Obamacare.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/09/19/house-republicans-accuse-senate-colleagues-caving-in-on-push-to-de-fund/Not sure how House guys get from Cruz admitting the harsh realities of the prospects in the Reid controlled Senate to hanging the House guys out to dry...the point on the filibuster is valid, but nothing Cruz said indicated it was off the table and the way the Reid Senate is, I'd hold that close until I unleash it so they don't try to game the prelude to the event...so it looks like to me the House clowns just threw Cruz under the bus as a means to cover their own asses for having ObamaCare repeal efforts die in the House...these idiots just pulled the pin on their only grenade they had for leverage of piled on top of it!
And just think about it for a second how truly effing stupid the GOP is...they cannot defeat a total assclown who says stupid shyt like this all...the...damned...time!!!
"Now, this debt ceiling -- I just want to remind people in case you haven't been keeping up -- raising the debt ceiling, which has been done over a hundred times, does not increase our debt; it does not somehow promote profligacy. All it does is it says you got to pay the bills that you've already racked up, Congress. It's a basic function of making sure that the full faith and credit of the United States is preserved."
