Making the rounds on the Sunday talkshow circuit to spin his shutdown of the government, Boehner compounded his prior lies with another lulu: he actually claimed he didn't have the votes to pass a continuing resolution without the poison pills against AHA. Unfortunately for him, Republicans in the House say otherwise.

In any case, we doesn't the prevaricator bring a clean bill to the floor of the House and then we'll find out for sure?

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said Sunday that there are not enough votes in the House of Representative to pass a continuing resolution to fund the government without a provision defunding or delaying the Affordable Care Act.

"There are not votes in the House to pass a clean CR," Boehner said in an interview with ABC's "This Week."

Contrary to Boehner's claim, several House Republicans have signaled willingness to pass a bill to fund the government with no strings attached to Obamacare's funding and implementation.

I think he knows how many votes are there better than HUffpo.

but they, and you, are free to provide evidence that the votes are there.

I read where Huff and Puff post got the number of the 21 congressman that they claimed would vote for a clean CR about half never answered never claimed they would for example Rep. Bill Young (R-Fla.)said quote "The politics should be over," he said. "It's time to legislate." and huff and puff post counted that as a vote for a clean CR I want you point out where in those quotes did it say he wanted a clean CR. All you are doing by posting BS from Huff and Puff post is showing how gullible you are

Yeah, I agree. Bring it to the floor and let's see. At this point, it's his strongest position, in my opinion.

There is a way to find out whether there are enough votes.
