Republican Centrists Plot Revolt to End Government ShutdownBy Matt Fuller at Roll Call

"SNIP.............................
Many speculate that Boehner would face a conservative mutiny if he simply brought up a clean CR to be passed by Democrats and a small number of moderate Republicans.
Boehner needs at least 116 Republicans to vote for a CR. Thats half of the Republican Conferences 232 members, and if Boehner had 116 Republicans to vote for a clean CR, the conservative mutiny would have to stand up to the majority of Republicans in the conference.
But there arent 116 Republicans supporting a clean CR at least not yet and not publicly.
And the moderate group is still waiting to see if Boehner can pull out a deal with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and President Barack Obama.

If they think something is still in the works or is possible OUTSIDE of the House passing a clear CR, they are just as dumb as the "NOT-Moderates"...How hard is this REALLY, to understand???
