The ad by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is being played mainly in John Boehner’s district in Ohio. John Boehner has been adamant over the last few days about not bringing a clean Continuing Resolution to the House floor for an up or down vote, because as he sees it, the votes are not there to pass such a bill.
Democrats on the other hand and even some Republicans say there are more than enough votes in the House pass the clean CR which will bring the Government back to full operation, but John Boehner is insisting everyone is wrong.
“Tell John Boehner to grow a spine,” the ad says.
President Obama has urged Boehner to bring the clean CR for a vote, stating if he is right about there not being enough votes to pass the Resolution, then he should prove it with the vote!
So far, Boehner would is not budging.
