(CNN) - House Republicans are delaying a vote scheduled for Thursday evening on Speaker John Boehner's latest debt ceiling proposal, according to a statement from the chamber's second-ranking Democrat. A Republican source said the vote would still happen Thursday night.
The move indicated possible difficulty in lining up sufficient Republican support to pass the measure.

GOP = Epic failure
Clean bill, up or down vote.
Boehner's Waterloo.
A party without purpose, direction, and leadership. Devoid of comportment and destined to be rebuked in 2012.
It been delay because It sucks. What will It take for the Republican going to start to Compromise. That May be they could get thing done. But the Republican and the Tea Party flat out refuse to COMPROMISE.
Imagine that...
I've never watched a political party self destruct before
better the GOP than america
BTW, at what point does someone in the "news" media pipe up and point out that the only reason this is a problem and further delay is being caused is because the House GOP absolutely refuses to compromise and pass something that would actually earn votes and support from the House Dems?
Oh yeah, never...it would ruin the controversy by highlighting where the blame really lies.
What are Boehner and company going to do now? Move the plan even further to the right wing extreme so that, ummmm, it's still getting shot down by the Senate anyway?
When the Head disturbs the Wasp, the Wasp stings it(the Head).. If one spoils or dirties the water source, he or she will eventually drink a spoilt water. GOP's, beware. You dont hurt obama, rather you are hurting t he American people which means, you are hurting yourselves..
They cannot stick to a schedule. The vote should have taken place on time; they postpone it because it is not going to be in their favor. That is called "voter manipulation".
Boehner better get his supporters to throw in with the Dems to get Reid's paln passed.
