    Cracks are starting to emerge among House Republicans on their government funding strategy.

    A handful of Republicans in the lower chamber on Tuesday embraced a “clean” continuing resolution (CR): Reps. Pat Meehan (Pa.), Jon Runyan (N.J.), Scott Rigell (Va.), Mike Fitzpatrick (Pa.) and Frank Wolf (Va.).

    They joined Rep. Charlie Dent (R-Pa.) and GOP New York Reps. Pete King and Michael Grimm, who endorsed a clean CR earlier this week.

    A "clean" bill would not include provisions to delay or defund ObamaCare, and is supported by the White House and Senate Democrats.

    In a Tweet, Meehan stated, “I came to DC to fix gov't, not shut it down. It’s time for House to vote for a clean, short-term funding bill to bring Senate to the table.”

    I pray they hold their ground and do not give one inch.

    Funny. Every single one of them has endorsed Paul Ryan's plan, placed before the House this morning. Hmm.

    Nope. It's only a measure to temporarily and slightly raise the debt limit while putting cost-cutting across the board on the table. There is no language in the bill funding anything.
