Outside group: McConnell 'negotiating surrender'
By Alexander Bolton - 10/14/13 06:26 PM ET
The Senate Conservatives Fund on Monday slammed Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) for negotiating a fiscal deal that appears to leave ObamaCare largely intact.
Senate Republicans are expected to hold a conference meeting Tuesday to discuss the emerging deal.
Republicans who vote for it, however, could face critical television ads from the Senate Conservative Fund, which has targeted about a half-dozen GOP senators over the ObamaCare defunding fight in recent months.
So now Mitch McConnell is negotiating the Republican surrender, Hoskins said. He gave the Democrats a blank check back in July when he signaled he would do anything to avoid a shutdown and now Democrats can demand whatever they want. It's humiliating.

We defund Obamacare or we blow the place up!
Come on.
And when part of your plan includes a scheme to implode the US economy--you'd damn well better have thought it through.
The Republicans look like complete morons (assuming that the deal goes through tomorrow, that is).
I can't imagine that Boehner rejects it. Then again, he is an idiot. So, who knows.
