they have stepped in their own elephant dug and do not like the smell.
Article PhotoRepublicans are finding droves of constituents back home at town halls who support a plan to defund the president's Affordable Care Act. However, Republican leaders are scrambling to negotiate a less confrontational solution back on Capitol Hill.
also some who are calling them on their do nothingness and misleading about jobs alls not good in Mudville.  if you mislead a bunch of people as to what the truth is for years not a big effort to get them to espouse that same misinformation, 
G W Bush, "you can fool some of the people all of the time and those are the ones you want to concentrate on".
wonder what those who they've been arming with carry permits will do when they find out they have been played, should have kicked in after the 2010 jobs focus that never happened too busy slamming the Pres. to worry about jobs especially yours and that too is the Pes. fault 
who btw has been the only one to deliver jobs not the republicans disputed 20,000 from keystone that is not for you but for their own oil interest that opposed to over a million jobs by Pres American jobs act which they again are too busy to pass.
In a conference call with members of the GOP caucus Thursday, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, attempted to talk some members off the government shutdown ledge.
A coalition of Republican senators, including Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, originated the plan to defund "Obamacare" by holding the stopgap measure to fund the government through the end of the year hostage. And the plan has attracted an even broader band of House Republicans, 80 in all, who see the latest attempt as the best chance to stop the president's health care plan from coming to fruition.
Republican leaders, however, acknowledge the strategy could cost Republicans in the polls and ultimately at the ballot box in 2014.
David Winston, a GOP pollster, released a survey Wednesday revealing that 53 percent of Republicans were actually opposed to a plan to defund the president's health care law if it meant risking a government shutdown.
Thursday night, Boehner advocated instead that Republicans work with Democrats to pass a short-term continuing resolution. Under the plan, Republicans would get to keep the sequester in place as long as they agree to pass a stopgap measure to fund the government through December.
they know this is wrong but the want to play chicken who blinks first also remember they were all around the country talking about Pres. kicking the can down the road when it was them doing the kicking re read the last sentence above they don't want us to prosper they want to keep us in perpetual dissent thinking you the American voter will in spite of polls blame Pres. for their do nothing but obstruct, they think that little of or intellect do you?  
this is why Beohner cries all the time he knows what's right but to afraid to embrace it.
