Erick Erickson, the editor-in-chief of the conservative website RedState.com, expressed his displeasure with the current state of affairs in the House of Representatives by tweeting Monday night, hours before a midnight deadline to fund the government, in favor of capitulation.
House Republicans are struggling to unify around a continuing resolution to fund the government past the Sept. 30 deadline that includes language delaying President Obama’s signature health care law. After a small wing of moderates balked Monday in face of a newly announced plan by Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) slated for an evening vote, Erickson urged the party to pass a “clean” continuing resolution instead.
At this point, the House should just go on and pass a clean CR. They’ve already embarrassed themselves and done requisite head pats.

Seriously House GOP, if you’re going to fully fund Obamacare, go on and stop the shiny object dangling and just embrace it.
