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?
John Boehner Claims He Doesn't Have Votes For Clean Continuing Resolution Bill

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.
