The Speaker of the House might try offering to hold the vote for his bill in the Chapel. It may be where the caucus has decided to wait this out.

I chose the Christian Science Monitor article because they have it more correct.  The Speaker is determined to pass his bill.  I sincerely don't believe it is going to happen.  I am sure President Obama has readied an Executive Order in case this division of the House Republicans continues.

I have never witnessed such brutal treatment of a House Speaker.  The longer the delay goes on the longer it is going to be.  I sincerely believe the Republicans are committed to their outcomes.  I also believe it is media driven by the Right Wing media.  Perhaps, if the Speaker would address the party on FOX there might be more support for the bill and things would turn around for him.  Hideous as it is, they have allowed Murdoch to be their king maker and Mike Pense openly thanked and praised Hannity after the 2010 elections to the point of nausea.  When one sells their soul to the devil there is dearly nothing a prayer can do to save you.  I could not be more serious.

…“If this were a parliamentary system, (click title to entry - thank you)  this would have been the equivalent of a no confidence vote,” says Stan Collender, a longtime federal budget analyst and partner at Qorvis Communications in Washington….

The House Republicans can't seem to get their minds around the issue that it was this Senate that voted down the President's Budget unanimously.  I don't know why they believe they are so far apart on anything that concerns the country's sovereign debt.  The differences occur when it is the citizens of the country vs Wall Street and the wealthy as a choice to DEBT REFORM.  Why is it that people of faith, and proclaimed abiding faith have a difficult time discerning the decision about that?
