Pete King: House GOP's Delay Obamacare Plan 'Is Going Nowhere'

Article PhotoRep. Pete King (R-NY) told National Review Online that moderate Republicans would revolt against House leadership's latest ploy to derail Obamacare in exchange for funding the government.
King said he had 25 House Republicans who would oppose the latest plan, which would delay Obamacare's individual mandate for a year and eliminate subsidies for Congress members and staff. If that's true and House Democrats united against the plan, it likely wouldn't have the votes to pass.
“This is going nowhere,” he told NRO. "If Obamacare is as bad as we say it’s going to be, then we should pick up a lot of seats in the next election and we should win the presidency in 2016. This idea of going through the side door to take something you lost through the front door -- to me it’s wrong.”
two sides of the same coin like heads and tails not hard to assign a side those who oppose are right wing zealots and after lying their way into ofc. promising jobs that never materialized and have yet to under republican false claims that they are about putting Americans back to work.
part of the riders they are trying to piggy back on their doa law to kill ACA they want to pass Keystone already proved unsafe by massive leaks in Alberta, instead of the Pres. jobs act they've been sitting on since 2011
King acknowledged, though, that the verbal committment of those moderates to oppose the plan wasn't a guarantee that they would actually vote against it when the House votes Monday evening.
“How many of them are going to follow up today with the pressure and everything else, I don’t know,” King said.
Another Moderate Republican, Rep. Charlie Dent (PA), told TPM he intends to vote against a rule that would bring up a new continuing resolution with new anti-Obamacare provisions on Monday evening. He supports passing a "clean" continuing resolution to continue funding the government at current levels. 
they are in such a dysfunctional state how can we take anything any of them say they are being coerced and threatened with no more cushy job with perks, it's a toss up until it's time to show your commitment.
