By that logic, Boehner won't fund care for kids with cancer since he won't allow a vote on a clean CR.
That may be true, but the Republican House wants to send this and other measures, to be handled on a one on one basis, to the Senate.
...
And Reid, a majority of both Houses, and a majority of Americans want Congress to just pass a clean bill funding everything rather than picking and choosing like this.
You can't spin your way out of this one.
I doubt a majority of Americans care if the government is funded by a clean CR or a dozen different bills. They just want it done. Passing something that funds the most urgent things now won't be frowned upon by the American people. Neither would going to conference committee.
